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.
Created attachment 26144 [details] screenshot of the ssl info dialog
Can you still reproduce this bug with a recent KDE version? (4.1.3 / 4.2beta2 / 4.2svn) ? Thanks :)
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.
