Notes: How to add ssl certificate for chrome on linux

So I finally got tired of constantly having to hit 'proceed...' when I access web services at work since I know and trust the servers so I finally took the 5 minutes to google....

solution can be found in the following links:

The also includes notes for other platforms, but I at this time only care about the linux tip.

solution:
  1. click on the lock in the url bar and under the connection tab click the 'certificate information' link. 
  2. export certificate (I selected 'pkcs #7 single)
  3. ensure you have nss utils installed (deb: libnss3-tools; rpm: nss-tools)
  4. certutil -d sql:$HOME/.pki/nssdb -A -t "P,," -n <filepath> -i <filepath>
  5. restart chrome
and viola you are done.
