**Feature:** Self-Service SSO certificate renewal better error messages

**Description:** We are using the Self-Service SSO wizard. When trying to modify an existing entreprise connection we had run into an issue, supposedly connected with the certificate. We used the “Automatic” mode with a certificate URL. When trying to save we got an error “unable to verify the first certificate”. In the logs we could a generic error “Failed to update connection”. These errors are not very helpful because they don’t explain what are the source of errors, and they don’t give us (or the client using the wizard) any actionable help. Hence my request is to improve these error messages, and update the documentation with a list of all possible error sources and error messages.

Thanks !

**Use-case:** SSO in self-serve for our clients
