<h3><a id="ssl" name="ssl"></a>CACERT-ified SSL on PAUSE</h3>

<p>On Sat, April 19 2008, PAUSE switched to use a cacert certificate. <b><a
href="http://wiki.cacert.org/wiki/BrowserClients">Get it now</a></b>.</p>

<p>As soon as you have cacert support installed into your browser, you
need not confirm the SSL connection manually anymore. If you have no
cacert certificate in your browser (and unfortunately many browsers do
not have it) you may choose to either install it manually or still
accept the connection without installing the cacert certificate.</p>

<p>Repeat: you can download the certificate from <a
href="http://www.cacert.org/index.php?id=3">cacert</a> directly.
Cacert provides guidance how <a
href="http://wiki.cacert.org/wiki/BrowserClients">to install this
certificate into your browser.</a></p>

<p>Debian users can also access the cacert root certificate by
installing the <b>ca-certificates</b> package. It contains the file
the cacert root certificate as
<code>/usr/share/ca-certificates/cacert.org/root.crt</code>. This can
be installed into most browsers via preferences. Guidance provided in
the above link.</p>

<p>The fingerprint of the cacert root certificate is
<code>SHA1 Fingerprint=13:5C:EC:36:F4:9C:B8:E9:3B:1A:B2:70:CD:80:88:46:76:CE:8F:33</code></p>

<p>A big ThankYou to RJOOP for providing it.</p>

<p>In case all of the above does not work out for you, the fingerprint
of the new PAUSE certificate is <code>SHA1
Fingerprint=82:7A:33:53:B4:20:36:D4:37:E4:54:F6:F3:15:87:63:3B:23:52:3E</code></p>

<p>You have forgotten how you're supposed to package your software?
