Hi,

I noticed the auto-generated certificates behave differently in pve and pbs.
For pbs, I can export the certificate in Edge and import it into trusted issuers, and thereafter connect without SSL warnings on all browsers which use the system certificate store.
For pve, this doesn't work and I still get the warnings.
pbs seems to use a self-signed certificate, which is why it works after I import that.
pve uses a "PVE Cluster Manager CA" certificate, but that one's public part isn't delivered with the pve server certificate on 8006, so I can't install it easily.
I would prefer if pve and pbs used the same way of generating certificates during installation,
