Change on WebDav from self-signed to trusted: sync stopped working

elrokus
Hi,

I use my own Webdav-Server (with a self-signed SSL certificate) to sync two installations of Zotero.

One of the PCs had a misconfigured Firefox that denied any attempt to connect with the Webdav-server. The other PC that I use mostly (with Zotero standalone) worked fine. To make everything work I changed the self-signed certificate of my Webdav-server to a StartSSL-certificate (that is trusted without any problems by Firefox).

Strangely, my PC with Zotero standalone (that accepted without issues the self-signed certificate) now denies to talk to my Webdav-server.
I copied cert_override.txt from my Firefox to the Zotero-folder without solving the problem. Any hints?

(Linux Mint aka Ubuntu on both machines)

    You shouldn't need cert_override.txt if the certificate is valid, so you should delete that to start.

    After that, restart Zotero and provide a Report ID for the failure.

    Problem was on my side. Turns out I didn't include the intermediate certificate.
    Thanks for your response.
