Description Malte S. Stretz 2008-07-15 13:35:45 UTC

Version:            (using 4.00.98 (KDE 4.0.98 (4.1 RC1)), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-19-generic

When I tried to access my mail server, KMail spit out the following warning:

"The server failed the authenticity check (mail.layer0.de).

The issuer certificate of a locally looked up certificate could not be found
The root CA certificate is not trusted for this purpose
No certificates could be verified"

The cert is from CAcert so I guess thats the reason its not trusted. I tried to verify that by clicking on Details.  The resulting SSL info dialog was more or less empty:  No cert chain, no cert details, no issuer details, plus a big fat TODO at the Trusted entry.  I'll attach a screenshot.

Guess this should really be fixed before release, the dialog is quite important though currently useless.

Can you still reproduce this bug with a recent KDE version? (4.1.3 / 4.2beta2 / 4.2svn) ?  Thanks :)

Comment 3 Andreas Hartmetz 2009-04-09 17:39:28 UTC

The SSL info dialog should work now, most of the time :)
We still don't have the CACert root certificates which is a different issue (or rather, a conscious decision but not mine).
Please report any remaining issues.

The dialog is still blank in KDE 4.2.4 for a self signed certificate.  Only thing that shows up is the MD5.  Connect to mail.dragonstrider.com via smtp or imap for a test server.

I notice that Konqueror can display the certificate details, and wonder why the certificate display code is not shared.

See Bug 162485.
