Installing FAU certificate

macOS

Here is the manual for installing the FAU certificate for macOS.

Prerequisites:

• git installed
• replace PATH and NAME in both commands with the path you want to save the certificate (e.g ~/Documents/fauca-chain.crt)

# Install certificate to chosen location
curl https://pki.pca.dfn.de/uni-erlangen-nuernberg-ca/pub/cacert/chain.txt -o /PATH/NAME.crt

# Configure git to use the FAU certificate for MaD Gitlab Host
git config --global http."https://mad-srv.informatik.uni-erlangen.de".sslCAInfo /PATH/NAME.crt

Windows

Troubleshooting

If cloning the repo fails due to problems with the certification, make sure to use notepad++ instead of the standard windows editor.
