Can I Upgrade IntelliJ without overwriting the cacerts file?
已回答
My company manages my jbr/lib/cacert file. When I try to update I get a message saying it cannot update the version because it cannot write to that file. The screen does not give me the option to ignore this change is there a way I can configure the jbr directory or something to allow a writable version of the file?

@Jackie Gleason please provide the screenshot of the error screen. Normally there should be a choosable action dropdown right of the file name.
Nope I am guessing because it couldnt do anything anyway because it doesnt have permissions to edit. I have seen what you are talking about but in this case that isnt available. I will take a screenshoot soon.
I had the same issue while upgrading to 2021.1.2. I had to reinstall IntelliJ with the installer and to insert my additional cert's manually again.
Andreas Seibt Not a valid option in my case given the permissions provided by my computer. I don't have the permissions to download the new install file due to a firewall and a company policy around mirrors. Here are the pics showing no option to change the value. Can I use a config value change? I might have permissions there.
Got same problem
This is 2025 August, I am still facing the same issue when ever I upgrade my 2024.2.2 Ulitimate to the latest.
One option is to uninstall and reinstall the latest version but I am VERY SKEPTICAL to do this as I may lose all of my existing Intellij config, scratches etc as it has been hardwired into many of my applications.
Hi SreY,
This problem is known and has been fixed in newer IDE versions.
To add the necessary certificates, you should add them through the IDE's settings without manually changing the IDE's JBR certificates. I've explained this in detail in my response to your YouTrack ticket: IDEA-378451.
Thank you for understanding.
