Adding an SSL certificate to Chrome

I am adding a new certificate to Chrome by going to Settings/Advanced/Manage Certificates. That works fine. When I navigate to https://somelocalweb/apiendpoint first I have to select Advanced/Proceed, then I am presented with a list of certificates that does not have the one I just added. Am I doing something wrong while adding a certificate so it does not make into the list? Hope, someone can help.

Thanks.

The webserver must be served with a private key and a certificate.

In the certificate under the Subject Alternative Name (SAN) field, your domain must be there before starting the webserver.

Subject Alternative Name

DNS Name=somelocalweb

Tip:

  1. For local usage of https, create an self-signed CA (Certificate Authority).
  2. Then register it on your system
  3. Generate local certificates (and private key) using the self-signed CA from 1. as issuer, and add your domains in the SAN field.
  4. Google on how to load the certificate and key on your webserver.

NOTE: Chrome requires certificates generated with Version V3.
