Description

When using a self-signed cert, you get this dialog.

I got this and didn't realize SE had a feature that allowed me to import certificates...and didn't think to look for such a feature.

It would be great if the dialog had something like "Please try importing your certificate with Edit->SSL Certificates -> Import Certificates.
