Can I connect to an HTTPS Trac site with self signed SSL certificate?

Trying to connect to a Trac site with self signed certificate:

javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: 
PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: 
unable to find valid certification path to requested target

To connect to a Trac site with self signed SSL certificate you need to import the certificate to the Java jre keystore.

After downloading the certificate to a local file you can import the certificate with Java's keytool:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/keytool -keystore /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/security/cacerts -import -file  <certificate_file> -alias <alias>

or in Windows:

"%JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin\keytool" -keystore "%JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\security\cacerts" -import -file <certificate_file> -alias <alias>

Can I use WikiEditorForEclipsePlugin with the AccountManager login module?

Currently WikiEditor4Eclipse only supports BASIC authentication.

If you are using AccountManagerPlugin#LoginModule to use form based login, you can still use HttpAuthPlugin to re-enable Http basic authentication for /login/xmlrpc path to make it work with XmlRpcPlugin.

See also XmlRpcPlugin#ProblemswhenAccountManagerPluginisenabled for more details.

MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME not set error

Solution:

export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/firefox
