--- Comment #11 from László Meskó <[email protected]> ---
I think there is a problem about the UI and also in the help:
The Start certificate manager button is mostly useful on Windows.
On Linux, LO only use the certificate store from Firefox or Thunderbird, as it
is described in (an old) OpenOffice documentation:
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/How_to_use_digital_Signatures . 
LO doesn't use the system default certificate manager on Linux!

Workaround:
You can select the certificate store from menu:
Tools, Options and (in the left) LibreOffice\Security.
There is „Certificate path” section (this is Linux (and maybe Mac?) only!),
where (using the Certificate button) you can select between the Firefox and
Thunderbird certificate store(s). There can be more certificate store if more
Thunderbird/Firefox profile folders exists.
Then you should import your certificates into the selected cert store.

I think in LibreOffice on Linux (and Mac?), needs two improvements:
(1) the help should describe this situation on non-windows platform, and
(2) the Start Certificate Manager button should open the currently selected
certificate store (and not the system default). Or at least warn the user that
the certificate store is defined in Tools, Options, LibreOffice\Security,
Certificate Path, and nothing to do with the default certificate manager. (The
current UI is very confusing right now.)

Or an alternative is to modify LO to use the system default certificate
manager.
But maybe it is more challenging because of the different Linux systems.
