Description Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-08-28 22:34:51 UTC 
Since 92b6ffcd9f687cc54a0fc3801ca85c7e4d77512f, a path can be supplied to point to a certificate manager in Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Security.

However, the path is not persistent.

Steps:
0. Have two certificate managers installed (I have Seahorse and Kleopatra)
1. Save a Writer document and open the certificate manager with File > Digital Signatures > Digital Signatures... > Start Certificate Manager...
2. Note which is the default manager (in my case, Kleopatra). Insert the path of the _other_ manager in Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Security > Certificate Manager (in my case, /usr/bin/seahorse). Click OK.
3. See that the path persists if you go back to the Options dialog.
4. File > Digital Signatures > Digital Signatures... > Start Certificate Manager...

Result: the default certificate manager opens. The path is reset to the default in the Options dialog.
