While this was valid for Stretch, in Buster /etc/skel isn't used
anymore. Certificate related configuration is done in gosa-create.
(Works for Firefox-ESR, Thunderbird, Konqueror and Chromium).

See also:
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Buster/Features#Other_changes_compared_to_the_previous_release
for SSL/TLS related changes.

There's also a tool (share/debian-edu-config/tools/update-cert-dbs)
which will be called upon upgrades from Stretch to configure this for
existing user accounts.

While the above named approach and scripts are good for handling the DebianEdu root-CA, it cannot be used for site-specific adaptations.

Of course, I could have copied and adapted update-cert-dbs to my purpose, but for generic CA rollouts, I find the pkcs11.txt approach much more elegant.

Btw, for Chrome/Chromium, pkcs11.txt as given above in the bug report needs to be placed into ~/.pki/nssdb/pkcs11.txt.

I needed this as I set up an e2guardian with SSL MitM and https deep package introspection (I know, this can be seen as "URGH..."). I also had a user-specific import script, but that did not scale well with many users on site. Handling this via pkcs11.txt and the trust pki module came in much smarter.

Feel free to keep this bug open for bullseye, so we can re-discuss this approach or close it. (In IT-Zukunft Schule, we will use it).

Greets,
Mike
