- The certificate is not trusted.
- Your connection is not private.
- Untrusted issuer

Cause

Resolution

Download the Cloud Root CA from your portal and follow these steps:

  1. Create a directory for extra CA certificates in /usr/share/ca-certificates:

    sudo mkdir /usr/share/ca-certificates/extra
    
  2. Copy the CertEmulationCA.crt file to this directory:

    sudo cp CertEmulationCA.crt /usr/share/ca-certificates/extra/CertEmulationCA.crt
    
  3. Update ca-certificates configuration to include the recently imported certificate.

    sudo dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates
