Windows: the issuer of this certificate could not be found

This comes up when you open the certificate mkcert has generated for you. Under the tab "Certification Path" under "Certificate Status".

I've already run mkcert -install in Windows Powershell so the issuer itself should be trusted and known.

Also Edge says certificate is invalid when I use it for local development hmmm.

Can you try mkcert -uninstall and mkcert -install? And if that doesn't work, trying it again from an Administrator terminal?

Hi,

I have an issue much the same as the one described here. The certificate has been created on a Mac computer, and to test on a Windows computer I copied rootCA-key.pem from the Mac to the Windows computer, When I want to access the site, that is brought up by http-server I am told this is not trusted.

The user accounts are different on the computers. What should I do to have my setup working ?

Thanks

I'm experiencing this same issue. I'm hoping to use mkcert for a microservice that is only available on our internal company network. My plan was to install mkcert and run mkcert -install on the machines that are authorized to access the microservice. Is this outside the supported use cases for mkcert?
