I need to install my own digital certificate on the N95 in order to self-sign it so I can cut down on the annoying "Do you really really really want to let the evil software access your file system" messages. I'm just doing this for development purposes. However, I get the error "Unable to open file, file type not supported" when I select the .cer file in File Manager. A thorough search on the internet reveals that Nokia introduced this with firmware version 11 which I foolishly went and updated to (WLAN functionality with the original firmware was a joke).
Has anybody found a way around this? Is it still the case in the new firmware version 20. I tried the previous one (13.something I think) and it still didn't work. How do I install my own certificate if it can't recognise the file type?

Who told you that? I am not aware of a change and all I know: You are able to add new certificates if you OBEX-Push them (do not OBEX-Browse and place into file system) or download them via the internal browser. However, such a certificate should not work for code signing…

You have to use the Send File… option within your operating system (OBEX-Push profile). Browsing and storing the certificate into the file system (OBEX-FTP profile) does not work as S60 seems not to have a registered handler for that file-name ending, however, there is a handler in OBEX-Push. Just do it as you have done on your Nokia 6600.
About code-signing, well, that was a bug of your Nokia 6600 which go fixed. For more information, please see the linked thread above.

Pity it was a bug, it was a VERY USEFUL bug that Nokia should consider introducing in all its devices. There is nothing more annoying when there are those messages and you have to organise a certificate.
