• Compiler+version:
• Conan version: 1.40.3
• Python version:

Steps to reproduce (Include if Applicable)

I updated conan with pip install -U conan. In the next run, conan removed the cacert.pem (and probably replaced it by some kind of default file even though that wasn't what the output said):

WARN: Migration: Updating settings.yml
WARN: ****************************************
WARN: settings.yml is locally modified, can't be updated
WARN: The new settings.yml has been stored in: C:\Users\fschoenm\.conan\settings.yml.new
WARN: ****************************************
Removing the 'cacert.pem' file...
Conan version 1.40.3

We're using a cacert.pem file that is customized for our self-signed server certificate and get's installed by conan config install.

The update broke the access to our remote.

Probably conan should handle cacert.pem like the settings.yml and not overwrite it (see above) or add a way to add additional certificates in conan config install.

Hi @fschoenm,
Sorry for that, you are right, this should be handled with some similar mechanism from that of the settings.yml
We are fixing this in a patch version: 1.40.4 that we are releasing very soon.
Thanks a lot for reporting.
