Browser-laptop: Adding and managing client certificates (HTTPS/SSL)

[thomasgrnr]

It's a feature but I'd love to have a way to add my own HTTPS/SSL certificate to securely connect to privately hosted webapps. Juste like Chrome and Firefox lets you save and manage external certificates.

Maybe it's already possible, but I cant find it !

Great work anyway guys :)

@thomasgrnr this is a great feature request :smile: Private apps and also APIs make good use of this.

On Mac, clicking "Manage Certificates" brings up Keychain Access.

I haven't used this in a browser before (only in code I've written). Do you have more information @thomasgrnr about how this would work? Should the browser be looking at certs that are in the computers certificate store? How/when are they sent? (only when the common name or issuer matches?)

[thomasgrnr]

I am not quite sure on how it works, but on chrome I think you just have to have a cert in you "login" keychain. The browser looks for the adequate one. Possibly by checking the issuer name I guess.

I can try to look a bit further into this !

[bsclifton]

@thomasgrnr if you can, that would be amazing :smile: It would help a lot to have more concrete details about what this would look like and/or how it would work

+1 from support (community)

Another +1 here. I use private certs internally for accessing equipment, testing APIs etc.. Right now I just get an error:

+1!

Is there any update on this?
I'd love to finally migrate to brave.

+1 - this is an important feature for enterprise use (and folks who tinker at home)

[jarv-git]

+1 - This is a feature mandatory on today's browsers. I think this is more or less how Chrome does the "Manage certificate": https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/lkcr/docs/linux_cert_management.md

Any news on this? proxy certificates would be nice to be able to add to Brave

[beemster]

Yes please, this is mandatory. I need this for work related sites and VPN. Otherwise Brave is not an option.
Thanks.

Big +1 on this, It's stopping me adopting Brave as primary browser both at home and work and impact both my personal and work VPN.

+1 Can't us Brave as primary browser because of this

[dsackin]

+1 on importing certificates

Closing this issue as wontfix. We'll get the same behavior as Chromium/Chrome when moving over to Brave Core (which is coming soon), which WILL fix the issue 😄 More info about that release available here:
