Description Per (phobie) 2013-11-04 15:13:37 UTC

Webdav connections fails/freezes if a user examines a self-signed certificate.
A workaround is to open the notification,
stop the "Examining"-"Transfers"-action,
close knetattach and
start over.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open knetattach
2. Select "Webfolder (webdav)"
3. Enter any values for "Name", "User" and "Folder"
4. Enter any webserver with a self-signed-certificate under "Server" i.e. "www.us.army.mil"
5. Check "Use encryption"
6. Click "Save & Connect"
7. Click "Details" on "Server Authentication - KDE Network Wizard"-window
8. Click "Close" on "KDE SSL Information - KDE Network Wizard"-window
Actual Results:  
Clicking on "Details"
opens the "KDE SSL Information - KDE Network Wizard"-window and
closes the "Server Authentication - KDE Network Wizard" window.
After closing the certificate-information, we are left with a blocked main-window and a running "Examining"-"Transfers"-action.

Expected Results:  
Do not close the "Server Authentication"-window when clicking on "Details" to let the user accept or reject the certificate after examining it.
Stop the "Examining"-"Transfers"-action when closing the certificate-information-window.

Btw. if you chose to not save your password, it should be cached until the session is closed. I need to type it three times from creation to using the folder in dolphin.

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

I can confirm the bug is present and still current.

Plasma 5.25.5
Frameworks 5.98.0
Qt 5.15.5

The work-around does not work for me.  I have to tell Dolphin to go to a fish URL.

Comment 5 restuccia 2025-02-03 14:04:41 UTC

The bug is still present for me as well

Operating System: Fedora Linux 41
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.10.0
Qt Version: 6.8.1

Can confirm this happens when accessing a WebDAV share using a Nextcloud server using a self-signed certificate as well. Can reproduce and provide more information if needed. The probleem is 100% reproducible and a self-signed WebDAV share can not be accessed with Dolphin this way.

Comment 7 Marcel Ammerlaan 2026-01-08 23:20:58 UTC

I can add the certificate by clicking on the blue link in the knetattach popup: a second popup opens to continue access and allows adding the certificate in the local store.
