Fedora Kinoite connects to NextCloud on my local network just fine. The NextCloud desktop with the Dolphin plugin, adds the NextCloud data without fan fare, after I have told it to accept the Arch signed certificate. In setting up calendars and contacts in Kontact. it asks to accept the certificate either on a per session basis or on a permenate basis. No matter which option I choose, it lasts until it does a sync with NextCloud and one again I have accept the certificates.
Does anyone know if and where there might be an editable configuration file where I might be able to setup things up so the certificate would be accepted permenately?

Re: NextCloud KDE
Just to answer my own question on this.
If you visit a site with an invalid certificate in Firefox, clicking on the Shield in the address bar will bring up a box. Digging through the box you will find an option to download a .pem file. With that file downloaded you need to run the following command as root:
cp *.pem /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ update-ca-trust extract
These commands work in Fedora and RedHat varients of Linux, I am not sure if they are valid for other distros. If you are running an OSTree build you will need to run "sudo su" rather than a simple "sudo"
This will add the certificate to your system certificates and update the database. On next reboot, you should no longer have problems with the certificate.

Re: NextCloud KDE
that makes sense that it has to be done like that. Kinda irritating, but it does make sense.
Re: NextCloud KDE
It took a while to find the info needed. Strangely I think the MacOS has a gui for doing this. And I remembered that on the Mac it does it by importing certificates into the keychain via importing .pem files. As is the Apple way I guess it provides instructions for how to obtain .pem files. Safari does it the same way that firefox does.
So I changed from searcing for how to import certificates in Linux (which produced long and convoluted results) to how to import .pem files which produced simpler and easier directions. A .pem file can be opened with a text editor and is ~1000 hexdecimal numbers. With the Mac gui app you can import the file either for the whole system or limit it to specific user, which I imagine is due to BSD being at the core.
