Results

The application is installed and runs as a systemd service.

On first startup, SUM creates a local certificate authority certificate and stores it as ca.crt in the data directory.

The service attempts to install the certificate into the operating system trust store.

NOTE

If Firefox displays a certificate warning, import the SUM ca.crt certificate into Firefox or configure Firefox to trust operating system root certificates.
