allow chatzilla to accept self-signed or invalid certificates
I have Firefox 3 running a Chatzilla 0.9.83 add-on. I wanted to use Chatzilla to connect to our company's public IRC server. The problem I had was this: the IRC server's SSL certificate was self-signed, therefore considered as invalid. And, due to Firefox3's weird sense of humor, Chatzilla is unable to connect to the server. But there's a work-around.
First, create an alias,
/alias certif eval getService("@mozilla.org/embedcomp/window-watcher\;1","nsIWindowWatcher").openWindow(null,"chrome://pippki/content/certManager.xul","mozilla:certmanager", "", null)
then, run it
This will open Mozilla's certmanager module. From there, you just click on the Servers tab and add the site's url - the one with an invalid cert. And that's it.
