SSL Certificate

Question

Trying to activate the license of pro copy of Xplane 11. I'm doing the install on work machine (Linux CentOS 7) that exist behind firewall and with an SSL inspection box sitting between computer and outside world. Getting through the firewall is easy enough with setting the proxy. However the seems to occur on SSL Certificate inspection. I'm not well versed in this are so here's the log dump. To be clear I am able to write to /tmp/ and I do get the tmp certificate file there just fails to do anything with that.

Hi Russell,

I am not with Laminar Research; just a flight simmer.

I am no computer geek but what I read into your problem is you are having a security problem in trying to run X-Plane on a work computer.

The way I see the situation is if you are cleared to add external software to the work PC then you should discuss the problem with your IT coordinator.  I am of the opinion it is not a X-Plane software problem.

Good luck
