Version: 1.9.51 (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources I connect to an IMAPs server with a self-signed certificate. I click to accept the certificate forever, but when I close kontact and start it up again, the message comes up again: The server failed the authenticity check (192.168.100.1). The host name did not match any of the valid hosts for this certificate The certificate is self-signed, and untrusted The certificate has expired
Do you still have this problem with a current version (from trunk)? I've had the same problem but it has disappeared some days ago.
I've seen the problem as well. For me, it turned out that the certificate was different each time (different expiry date and MD5 although it came from the same IP). In any case, this is a KSSL bug, which lives in kdelibs, moving the bug to there.
Torgny Nyblom is right :) - this has been fixed in revision 784963 on 2008-03-12 after the bug had been reported to me on IRC. I would be surprised to hear that it is still present... Frederik: Please reopen if the bug is still there in a recent SVN version or Beta.
No, this bug happens for me in KDE 4.0.84 as currently included in Mandriva Cooker.
Frederik, I need at least a test URL to reproduce or further evaluate this bug. There have been no other bug reports like that recently and I have not seen any problems like that myself for some time so I suspect it's a site issue. Presenting a different certificate every time, by the way, is a very stupid thing to do for a server. It removes even the guarantee that this is the same site as last time with the same (self-signed / unverifiable / ...) certificate.
Hi, I've got the same problem with my IMAP Account and SSL. I use a self signed certificate which isn't signed for my domain. So I get the messsage that it is self-signed and if I start e.g. konqueror I get the message that the certificate isn't created for my domain. But the connection is possible and konqueuror can save it forever. Michael
The server is not sending a different certificate every time: the MD5 as reported by KMail is the same. I've never had a similar problem with Evolution, KMail from KDE 3.5 or Claws Mail. It's a simple Dovecot installation Debian, but the certificate is self-signed, has an invalid cn and is expired. I send you the address in private.
Same problem with KMAIL on opensuse 11.0 (The server failed the authenticity check - The certificate is self-signed, and untrusted). - opensuse 11.0 (kernel 2.6.25.5-1.1-default #1 SMP 2008-06-07 01:55:22) - x86_64 - kmail version 1.9.51 - KDE 4.0.4 (KDE 4.0.4 >=20080505) "release 15.1" I've been using KMAIL on POP3S on the same server for month without any such problem. However the POP3S server changed IP and the problem raised since then. Certificate is not expired but self-signed. kmail keep complaining on the certificate'authenticity and there is no mean to accept it forever.
Fixed with commit 914920 which also fixed bug #178229. KConfig got confused by binary group names and couldn't find them, hence saved rules could not be retrieved.
