Summary: Akonadi keeps asking about an SSL certificate it knows
should be accepted
Product: Akonadi
Version: 1.5.0
Platform: Unlisted Binaries
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: IMAP resource
AssignedTo: ervin at kde.org
ReportedBy: bero at arklinux.org
CC: vkrause at kde.org, kdepim-bugs at kde.org
Version: 1.5.0 (using KDE 4.6.0)
OS: Linux
Not 100% sure if this is an Akonadi or a kio-ssl issue...
I've configured kmail to use an SSL IMAP server with a bad certificate.
Akonadi (correctly) showed a dialog saying
The server failed the authenticity check (mail.XXXXX.ch). The certificate does
not apply to the given host. The certificate is not signed by any trusted
certificate authority.
(Both are expected, the server was running an out-of-the-box dovecot
installation including its sample "imap.example.com" certificate).
I told Akonadi to accept it by clicking "Continue", and in the dialog that
followed ("Would you like to accept this certificate forever without being
prompted?"), "Forever".
However, the "The server failed the authenticity check (mail.XXXXX.ch)." dialog
keeps popping up occasionally (even when kmail isn't running).
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up an IMAP server with a bad SSL certificate
2. Connect to it with kmail
3. Confirm you want to accept the invalid certificate forever
4. Wait
Actual Results:
Keeps prompting about the certificate several times a day
Expected Results:
Warnings about the certificate go away
I know I should fix the certificate on the imap server instead ;)
