[Q] How to import self signed ssl certificate - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to build my own cloud server, namely owncloud... It works with plain http, but I want to convert it to ssl before going to "production" use... One of the problems is that I want to import a self signed certificate to my phone, without it complaining about "third party might be..." and without the complaint being visible all the time at status bar...
How do I import a self signed certificate to the phone? And get it to show in trusted credentials without the complaint? Other than the obvious settings -> security -> install from device memory/sd card. That is what I have tried so many times and this leads to the complaint I mentioned above.
Thanks!

Nothing? No ideas? Am I doing something so wrong that there is no "point" to answer?

I dont think anyone knows anything about this hence the lack of replies.
Perhaps reaching out to general android forum

Do you mean the warning in the browser that the connection is not trustable ?
By the way, have you tried using the owncloud app ? It doesn't verifies the identity of the server, thus doesn't complain if you don't have an validated ssl certificate.

Well. There's a way. First install your certificate normally. Then you just have to make it as a system included certificate (move it using aroma file manager).
To do that just look at my screenshot. Those are the directories that you will care about.
Of course don't forget to set correct permissions at the end.

Did not get screenshot this time either, but I solved this with F-Droid -> Move Certs! app, which moved the self signed certification to system certs.
Thanks!

Idk what's happening here. I've uploaded pic to a remote server this time... maybe XDA doesn't like too big screenshots
However good to know that there's a program for that
