Hello,

Thanks for that amazing too. Everything is working smoothly, except that when I connect to the website using chrome, after I select the client certificate I always get this popup asking for my password. Is there a way to get ride of it ?

I followed the instruction :

mkcert -install
then mkcert "*.exemple.com" example.com localhost 127.0.0.1
followed by mkcert -client -pkcs12 "*.example.com" example.com locahost 127.0.0.1

I use the export variable also for node.

It happens only from a new window, maybe it's required by chrome to access the keystore ?

Thanks.

How did you install the client certificate?

If you move it from the System keychain to the login one, does it solve it?

Hello @FiloSottile ,

It's the same. Both ( CA and client ) are in the login keychain but it still ask me for the password.

Thanks
