Install CA with mkcert on local DDEV site with non-sudo user

Question

I am running a Mac with Ventura and a non-admin ("normal") user account. I have access to an admin user which is how I installed DDEV and mkcert with homebrew. However, I can not run mkcert -install to create a local CA with my normal user for my project without a sudo password, which I don't have and am not allowed to get. Any ideas?

normal-user$ mkcert -install
Created a new local CA 
Sudo password:

normal-user is not in the sudoers file.

Answer 1

Unfortunately in my particular case there seems to be no way to run mkcert -install on MacOS with a user that does not have sudo access. I was able to get my IT dept to temporary enabled admin privs for my normal user, which allowed me to run mkcert -install successfully.

I can confirm that after the initial install was run, even after the admin privs were revoked, I could spin-up additional DDEV projects with HTTPS with no problem.

If you have adequate permissions you can probably install the CA directly into your browser instead of into the system store.

Give that a try. It may also be limited by your permissions. You can find the mkcert CA location using the command mkcert -CAROOT
