Indeed, and at the moment this is intentional. We may end up making a new one at some point in the future, but no guarantees.

Is there a way to manage system certificates?

Comment 4 auxsvr 2024-03-16 21:15:10 UTC

Is there a way to trust a custom CA? Should one edit /etc/xdg/ksslcalist directly?

Comment 5 Nate Graham 2024-03-18 18:44:12 UTC

In what apps? The reason we removed this was because the settings were generally not respected by most 3rd-party apps.

Comment 6 auxsvr 2024-03-18 18:59:00 UTC

Currently, kio_http, triggered by an akonadi DAV resource, displays lots of annoying messages if the CA is not trusted (occasionally, there's also a bug in the dialog box with a button without label). The KDE5 version allowed one to trust it. I haven't been able to find a way to do this so far.

I have the same (annoying) problem. Did you find a solution yet?

Comment 8 Nicolas Fella 2024-03-22 13:44:07 UTC

The ability to ignore SSL errors is unrelated to this settings module. If that's broken there's a separate bug that needs fixing

Comment 9 Nicolas Fella 2024-03-22 19:19:40 UTC

See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=484241

Comment 10 Nicolas Fella 2024-03-22 19:22:53 UTC

As for why the SSL settings page was removed: It was part of the deprecated-by-definition kdelibs4support Framework. This intentionally wasn't ported to Qt6, that's why it no longer shows up. So removing it wasn't really a conscious decision but more a side-effect of where it was located.

Why it was placed there in the first place I can only speculate though
