Good evening everyone,

Please excuse me if it has already been asked but is there a way to
make openssl s_client use my directory with every certificates (as with
-CApath) once and for all ?
Export $SSL_CERT_DIR into the environment of the process, perhaps via
your shell initialisation files.

Since you mention a GUI client, then you might instead use a file
sourced during setup of X11; which to use depends upon your Operating
System, distribution, window manager, etc.

For Debian/Ubuntu, "export SSL_CERT_DIR=..." in ~/.xsessionrc

Well I've tried your suggestion and it doesn't seem to work :

|export SSL_CERT_DIR = /etc/ssl/certs
openssl s_client -connect paypal.com:443 #complains about self-signed 
certificate from verysign
openssl s_client -connect paypal.com:443 -CApath $SSL_CERT_DIR #works|

I may have missed something about export and the shell though.
