Hi,
I use Opera on a intranet for the company where I work.
The backoffice site where I've to work has a "self certificate": I
mean, the company where I work has "certificate itself" but this isn't
good for Opera (that doesn't want to consider trusted it) so Opera
shows me a popup window to accept that certificate *every time* I make
a refresh (or a load) of the pages where I work.

This is very very boring and I see that Opera is the only one browser
that is so inflexible.

I need to use Opera for a lot of reasons but I also need to browse into
the intranet site of my company.

My "boss" doesn't want to pay to trust that certificate (it cost about
300$ and he doesn't has my problem becouse he use Firefox)

So: is possible to force the untrusted certificate to become trusted?
Or Is possible to ignore that very boring alert? I'm sure about the
site I browse so I don't want see that popup nevermore!

Please, please help me if you can :-) I don't want to use a different
browser to work (and many of my collegues think the same)

Thanks a lot

You have two options:
- add the CA certificate to Opera yourself
- check the second tab on the untrusted certificate pop-up

You also need to tell Opera to trust this certificate (double-click it, and
look at the checkboxes).

I choose that option before your post but ... no changes! :(
Every 10 minutes (more or less) Opera shows me the popup to authorize
the cert...

That looks like the Select Client Certificate dialog - change the "Ask for
password" setting in Preferences -> Advanced -> Certificates.
