This CA is used for on-the-fly generation of dummy -certificates for SSL interception. Since your browser won't trust the -__mitmproxy__ CA out of the box (and rightly so), you will see an SSL cert -warning every time you visit a new SSL domain through __mitmproxy__. When -you're testing a single site through a browser, just accepting the bogus SSL -cert manually is not too much trouble, but there are a many circumstances where -you will want to configure your testing system or browser to trust the -__mitmproxy__ CA as a signing root authority. - - -CA and cert files ------------------ - -The files created by mitmproxy in the .mitmproxy directory are as follows: - -<table class="table"> - <tr> - <td class="nowrap">mitmproxy-ca.pem</td> - <td>The private key and certificate in PEM format.</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td class="nowrap">mitmproxy-ca-cert.pem</td> - <td>The certificate in PEM format.

The certificate file needs to be in the PEM format and should contain -both the unencrypted private key as well as the certificate. - - -Using a custom certificate authority ------------------------------------- - -By default, mitmproxy will (generate and) use <samp>~/.mitmproxy/mitmproxy-ca.pem</samp> as the default certificate -authority to generate certificates for all domains for which no custom certificate is provided (see above). -You can use your own certificate authority by passing the <kbd>--confdir</kbd> option to mitmproxy. -mitmproxy will then look for <samp>mitmproxy-ca.pem</samp> in the specified directory.
