Description
There is apparently no way to indicate trust for private certificate authorities (Electrum 4.1.2 client). I'm not sure what list of CAs Electrum is implicitly trusting, but I tried to no avail:
- Adding the CA pem to
/etc/ssl/certs - Searching GUI for trust dialogs
- Searching support command line options
- Searching documentation
Next I'll search the code to see how it works, but I figure this is enough up-front work to start a ticket.
If it's not supported, consider this a feature request. Either way it would be nice if the documentation could cover this.

Start by tracing TLS certificate verification and the existing command-line and GUI configuration paths mentioned in the issue. Done means private certificate authorities can be trusted through a supported mechanism, with the relevant usage documented; clarify the intended behavior before changing code.
