[Mono-dev] Machine certificate store not working in Ubunut10.10/Mono 2.6.7

[Brad Robinson]

I've been trying to get SSL working on Mono 2.6.7 under Ubuntu 10.10... 

Using a simple test program to request https://www.google.com (note the
https), I found this: 

* Clean mono install, request failed due to no root certificates installed.
Fair enough. 
* Ran 'yes yes|sudo mozroots --import --machine' 
* Request still failed, even though the certificates were now in
/usr/share/.mono/certs/Trust 
* Ran 'yes yes|mozroots --import' 
* Request now works (presume using certs from ~/.config/.mono/certs/Trust) 

So it seems there's some problem where the machine certificate store isn't
being used. 

Further, because I was trying to actually use SSL via mod-mono-server and
DotNetOpenAuth, I needed the certificates to work for the www-data user. 
Since I couldn't figure out how to use mozroots for that user I manually
copied the certificates like this: 

sudo mkdir /var/www/.config/.mono/certs/Trust 
sudo mkdir /var/www/.config/.mono/certs/CA 
sudo cp /usr/share/.mono/certs/Trust /var/www/.config/.mono/certs/Trust 

This works, but feels like a hack.

Am I missing something here?
