What if I am aware of the security issues and want to “trust” a self-signed certificate?
Well, for one thing, be sure you do trust the administrator. We’ve seen some server admins who are doing this as a hobby not a business and they don’t wish to shell out cash for a properly signed certificate. (Hint, SSL certs are cheap now.) If you still wish to use a self-signed certificate but don’t want to get the warning on each login, the easiest way to do it is by checking ‘Ignore SSL warnings’ box in ‘Account Properties’ dialog for the account you wish to log into. If this is not enough for you, and you wish to add such self-signed certificate to a list of certificates trusted by Psi, and you have some understanding of what xml and PEM file is, you should see /usr/share/psi/certs/README (or similar path) on linux and other unix-like systems, or certs\README (it is a text file, simply without a .txt suffix) in a folder where Psi is installed on windows.
