I'm trying to use charles SSL proxying on my Huawei Honor Bee phone. When I try to install the certificate from charlesproxy.com/getssl, I get an error toast saying, "Couldn't install because the certificate file couldn't be read". I've tried on different browsers, but no luck. How can I install the charles certificate? Please help.
Thanks
On your phone, Go to Settings > Security > Install from storage.
Locate your certificate file and install it.
You can go to help menu and choose "export root certificate" then just send this file to the device.
An image to exemplify what I mean: https://tppr.me/ymh8W
For Mi4i, Go To Settings -> Additional Settings -> Privacy -> Install From Storage -> Install certificate which is present in your Downloads
To verify if it's installed Go to Trusted credentials -> Click on User tab -> Check if certificate exists or not.

I am having problems decrypting any SSL traffic (my Windows 10 PC) using (thelatest version of) Fiddler.
I have tried Eric's (created Fiddler) post on resetting certificates to no avail:
http://textslashplain.com/2015/10/30/reset-fiddlers-https-certificates/
I am seeing the following error in the logs on all SSL requests:
09:50:02:3744 fiddler.network.https> HTTPS handshake to www.fiddler2.com (for #1) failed. System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException Unspecified error
To try and isolate the issue I installed Charles and it is able to decrpyt SSL requests so I dont believe it is a system-wide / local network issue.
Any help much appreciated as Fiddler is such an excellent tool.
So I have now got Fiddler working again, these steps fixed my problem:
Remove Fiddler certificates (via the GUI, and manually check in Certificates mmc)
Uninstall Fiddler, including all settings data
Use a registry cleaner to clean up orphan / broken entries
Delete any remnant folder related to Fiddler
Download latest version of Fiddler
Install using all defaults (dont install to a custom location)
Set HTTPS Capture and Decrypt in Fiddler
I faced similar issue on mac with Fiddler. This was the first time I was using fiddler with mac.
The problem was the mac was not trusting the Fiddler
certificate.
To solve it I first of all, go to the Fiddler and then choose
Tools>Options>HTTPS
check Decrypt HTTPS Traffic
In the same dialog, then go to actions and click on export root certificate to the Desktop
click ok and close the fiddler.
Now the fiddler certificate has been downloaded on your desktop. In my case its name was FiddlerRoot.cer .
Double click on it and it will open in the keychain.
Select certificate option from left hand under category
You will find there is a certificate with name DO_NOT_TRUST_FiddlerRoot
Right click on the certificate and click on the Trust to make it expand. Here is how my dialog looks now.
In your case instead of Always trust, use system defaults would have been selected by default. Select Always trust.
Clear cookies and cache of your browser and then restart the browser.
Now if I start my fiddler it is able to decrypt the https website.
I am trying to create an unattended Silent install for HP ALM CLient Add for Citrix environment.
I am facing issues, when trying to suppress the "Install" customization window, which appears when we launch Excel. Couldn't able to suppress the window. Tried to install using below command but unsuccessful
VSTOInstaller.exe /Install \C:\Path\Exceladdin.vsto /Silent
I tried installing the certificate first by adding it to TRUSTEDPUBLISHERS then i tried to install, still no success.
Can someone help on this and anyone worked on this for Citrix environment.
If you want to use trust, the entire hierarchy for the public certificate must be trusted as well. Look at the Certification Path tab for the certificate you're using, and put the root certificate into the Trusted Root Certificate Authorities store, and anything between into the Intermediate Certification Authorities store. I know there's an MDSN page for this somewhere (or else I would not have this information), but I can't find it. It's probably somewhere under Granting Trust to Office Solutions.
You could also use inclusion lists, or install it to the Program Files folder where Full Trust is automatically granted (because admin is required to put it there).
I'm trying to push my project into my Bitbucket repository but it doesn't let me do it, it throws the following error message:
fatal: unable to access 'https://arfi#bitbucket.org/arfi/quaba.git/': SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
What must I do? I don't understand why is this falling now, before it used to work without any problem. Anyone can help me?
I've already solved my issue.
I had to open Sourcetree, go to Tools -> Options -> Git, and activate the option 'Disable SSL certificate validation'.
Now I can push my project and everything into my Bitbucket Repository.
I have an application which is making calls to twitter and I need to inspect the traffic so that I can learn more about oAuth.
When I double click the ssl traffic I get a yellow box which prompts me to go and change the options (by the way I am running my app through a proxy).
After having read about using a certificate on my machine which fiddler creates I have clicked the link to let fiddler install certificates on my machine by following these instructions...
http://docs.telerik.com/fiddler/configure-fiddler/tasks/configurefiddlerforwin8
However instead of this happening...
I get this error message...
"unable to configure windows to trust Fiddler Root certificate" here is a screen shot....
When I checked the logs as suggested (although is confusing as I thought the log was to do with each individual request), anyway I saw this...
I have even tried installing the certificate manually no no avail. Hope someone can help me get fiddler/ssl decryption working with windows 8! :-)
UPDATE : In response to Erics questions he made in the below answer...
Hi Eric thanks for replying.
1) A box popped up saying 'Certificate Trust' this is the box I have taken a screen shot of above. It was the box that told me to check the log.
2) I have an account and when I check my users it says I am an Administrator underneath my username.
3) I have tried to run Fiddler as an Administrator to no avail.
I also tried to drag and drop the certificate manually into the certmgr.msc tool and it comes up with a little round cursor with a line through it. Sounds like permissions but I just cant see why as I have full everything....
I finally found a way to workaround cases where group policy tries to limit who you can trust.
METHOD 1
Go into the fiddler HTTPS options and export the root cert to your
desktop.
Open up mmc.exe and add in the certificate widgets for
Local Computer
Import the fiddler certificate into the Third-Party
Root Certificate Store
Go ahead and use fiddler and see it generate new certs and watch your system trust them.
Method 2
Run afoul and bypass an intentional security control.
reg delete HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\Root\ProtectedRoots /f
Go back into fiddler HTTP options, and toggle Decrypt HTTPS traffic off and on again. press okay to install the cert in the usual way
maybe run a gpupdate /force to get your setting back to the way your admins intended.
For insight, the problem group policy settings may look something like this:
If you have any Flags value in your registry under Local_Machine \ Software\Policies\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\Root\ProtectedRoots, this lock-down is probably in effect.
#EricLaw - Are you up for maybe changing fiddler to try to import into the third-party store by default? It seems like the "third-party store" may be less subject to lockdown.
This is the best write-up of third-party-store i've seen: http://kreelbits.blogspot.com/2014/02/whats-purpose-of-users-third-party-root.html
I managed to solve a similar problem I was having (in windows 7) by following the instructions here: http://casualtechs.blogspot.com.au/2010/06/problem-when-trying-to-import.html (with the only difference being that we want to add the Fiddler certificate to "Trusted Root Certification Authorities -> Local Computer" instead of the "Trusted Publishers" that is mentioned on that site). My modified steps were:
Obtain the Fiddler root certificate from the "fiddler options" -> "Https" -> "Export root certificate to desktop" menu
Open the certificate (double click on it)
Click on the Install certificate button
Click the "Next" button
Select "Place all certificates in the following store"
Click the "Browse" button
Tick the "Show physical stores" checkbox
Expand the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" folder
Click "Local Computer"
Click the "OK" button.
Click the "Next" button, then click the "Finish" button
Basically the bit I was missing when trying to import the Fiddler Root certificate was to drill down into the "Local Computer" folder underneath the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" folder. You will have to make sure that the "Show physical stores" checkbox is ticked as shown below:
The error message in question indicates that your Per-User certificate store does not allow you to put certificates into it. Sometimes this happens if your Corporate Group Policy prevents end-users from trusting certificates. Sometimes it happens if your software configuration has been changed by 3rd party software (E.g. VPN or security clients). Sometimes it happens when there's a corrupt ACL somewhere.
Questions
What dialog box immediately preceded the error message on the Log
tab?
Are you an admin on the box?
If so, if you run Fiddler as Admin and try again does it succeed or fail?
Workarounds
If #3 doesn't work, click the Export root certificate to desktop button. Then launch certmgr.msc using Start > Run. Attempt to drag the certificate from your Desktop into the Trusted Root Certification Authorities folder. What, if any, error messages are shown?
When configuring Telerik's Fiddler to handle HTTPS, I could not get root certificate installed. The error was "Failed to find the root certificate in User Root List". I solved the problem by temporarily turning off WebRoot, my antivirus program, then reattempting to enable HTTPS handling which installs Fiddler's root certificate. You may have to click the Action button on the HTTPS tab to remove/reset previous certificates before being able to create a new certificate.
I reset my certificates by Tool > Options > HTTPs > Action > Reset all certificates but it doesn't work.
This is how I fixed my problem
Restart service CryptSvc.
Right click HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\Root\ProtectedRoots
Permission > Current Windows Users > Full Access
Delete Full Key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\Root
Restart Windows and that's it

I have registered for the Safari Development Program and have a valid Apple ID. I've followed all the steps given by Apple.
The problem is that Windows XP (Service Pack 2) does not recognize the command 'certreq', whereas the instructions said it would work on any Windows machine.
However, the command 'certreq' was working on Windows Vista on the machine of my co-worker's, I downloaded the certificate (the .cer file) and installed it and Safari detected it.
However, I don't have Windows Vista.
I installed Windows 7 now on my machine, the command 'certreq' works and I have the Safari Extension Certificate (the .cer file) but when I open Safari's Extension Builder, my certificate does not appear there.
I entered mmc in Start --> Run and checked if the certificate was installed there. It was in the 'Other People' but not in 'Personal'.
Even on Internet Explorer 7+, when I go to Tools --> Internet Options --> Content (Tab) --> Certificates, the certificate is not there in the Personal tab, (WHEREAS IT GOT INSTALLED IN THE PERSONAL FOLDER AUTOMATICALLY IN WINDOWS VISTA). I tried importing the certificate (the .cer file) into the Peronal folder, the import is successful but still neither does it appear in the personal folder nor does Safari recognize/detect it when I go to the Extension Builder.
ANY HELP?!
I need to make an extension for my office project and the deadline is approaching. I really need to get it done.
Thanks a million in anticipation.
I was facing the similar problem. After struggling a lot the following worked for me:
Install (Windows Server 2003 service pack 2) Administration Tools pack as shown on “Generate a Certificate Signing Request” screen shown by Safari Extension Certificate assistant: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/confirmation.aspx?id=6315
Install IIS resource kit for SelfSSL- http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/confirmation.aspx?id=17275
As indicated by Safari Extension certificate assistant, save the following as certreq.txt --https://devimages.apple.com.edgekey.net/safari/files/certreq.txt
Run cmd, and then change directory to where you saved certreq.txt
On command prompt type: certreq –new certreq.txt newcsr.pem
Press Continue on the Safari Assistant screen, and upload this newcsr.pem
It will generate a certificate that you need to install by double-clicking on the installed file.
You are done!
Go to Develop (in Safari menu bar)>> Show Extension Builder >> Click + and select new extension.
By generating the cert request on another machine you don't have the private key associated with the cert on your own. Generate a cert request on your Win7 machine now, go get a new cert from Apple, and it should work fine.
To use the certificate on Windows, I needed to click on the file that was created (safari_identity.cer). That installed the certificate in the Windows Certificate store. Rrun certmgr.msc and look under the Personal..Certificates folder to see it. My installed cert looked something like this in the Microsoft Management Console for Certificates: "Safari Developer: (xxxxxxxxxxx) me#zzz.com".
this is an answer for Mac users who may be experiencing this problem.
Once you install your certificate, double click it, go under Trust, and set Always Trust for When using this certificate. Your certificate should work then.
It's got something to do with the private key - On me Vista it says CertReq: Request Created and it installs fine, but then on Windows 7 it just creates the file and when you look at the info before/after install it doesn't display that it is associated with the private key on the computer. Very confused I am.
when you enter something like "certmgr.msc" in the run command in window, you will get to see something like this:
So using the certificate consists of the following steps:
first save the file and run the command in cmdd.exe as directed in the developer certificate generator in extension certificate developer.
when you are done, check the certmgr [shown above in the image] and see a certificate named safari developer installed somewhere near Certificate Enrollment Requests. cut the certificate and paste one copy inside trusted root certification Authorities and another inside Personal.
then generate the csr file and install the file inside Personal folder and trusted root certification Authorities folder.
extension builder will recognize the certificate.
Best of luck.
If the certificate has an incomplete chain, it may be necessary to install the certificates on Apple's certificate page . I believe "Worldwide Developer Relations" (and possibly the 2 root certificates) are necessary for Safari Development.
