From lot of SO questions, this popup is cryptic for most users whi even think it’s a bug.

I don’t think it’s a bug, nor it would be an enhancement to remove the new behavior.

The user must be able to read the contents.

If the contents are not clear, then the text needs to be improved.

I tried to read the displayed dialog and understand it in the seven seconds it is now displayed and had no chance to read to the end.

Maybe it is too hot outside, maybe it is too much information to digest in the short time :)

I think we should give the user more time (endless?) and maybe rename the "OK" button to "Understood" to make it clear, that thus is an informational dialog.

Yes good idea

Display message longer

Display the message a bit longer before closing it automatically (maybe it would really be a good idea to not close it automatically) and change the "OK" button to "Understood" (no i18n yet).

Display information on how to change the default validity period of the generated CA.

Ok for patch.
Note that now templates accept parameters, we could add it as a parameter and generate certificate for a longer duration.

Requalifying as enhancement as bug report was against a nightly change later reverted.
