I have an an issue with Chrome that I can't alter because it's caused by my corporate firewall. When I go to (nearly any) https site, I get a NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID error.
The workaround I have to this is; when I get the error message I can type, "thisisunsafe" blind while chrome is the active window, and it bypasses the message and opens the site.
But, typing this a thousand times a day is annoying. I installed Linux autokey so that I could program a hotkey to type the phrase. It works in a text editor, but not in chrome. Chrome ignores it, until I type it manually at the actual keyboard.
Q: Is there a way to ...
- Get chrome to accept/recognize the
autokeyinput. OR... - Some other way directly within chrome to tie the bypass to a hotkey. OR...
- Get the problem to stop altogether. I can't fix the recognition of the site security, but I'm comfortable permanently bypassing it.
NOTE: Sometimes I can click advanced to get past it. Other times it comes up with an HSTS error and won't let me go to the site at all.
