Certificate issue after restarting burp.

Hi, I have installed certificate in chrome and it works fine. But after restarting burp, the ssl issue comes back :( Please help, i'm sure this is an issue with burp, because i have the same problem with firefox. :) Thanks in advance.

When you reinstall the certificate, is the issue resolved? How are you closing and restarting Burp? Is it the same instance?

1. I regenerate certificate, Install in chrome, no Certificate issue. 2. Then i close burp, restart it, The issue starts. Yes at the same instance just restarting burp the certificate seems to be invalid.

Thanks for the additional information. Could you provide us with some more details about your system? Which OS are you using? Are you running Burp inside a virtual machine? Are you shutting down / restarting the machine? Which version of Java are you using?

OS : Windows 10 Java Version : 8 Not virtual machine, just after restarting burp the issue start.

Hari, could you check that the time and date on your system is correct? Additionally, it's possible that this may be an issue with Burp saving your certificate. You could try deleting the key @ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Prefs\burp. Then, as a non admin user, restarting Burp and competing the Certificate installation process.
