Description PhobosK 2008-12-26 16:01:54 UTC 
Version:           4.1.3 (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

If you go to a site that needs authentification via SSL certificate one owns (for example https://www.myopenid.com/, but it is valid for all other sites), no matter what options are selected in the configuration of "Configure SSL, manage certificates, and other cryptography settings"-> "Authentification" tab, nothing works/is sent as certificate and no error is shown at all in console.
This worked in KDE 3.5 not now in 4.1. :(
Comment 1 PhobosK 2008-12-26 16:04:23 UTC 
BTW there is no SSL icon in status bar or anywhere showing that the connection is encrypted with the option to show connection's properties...
Comment 2 Rettich 2009-01-11 04:30:21 UTC 
Some problem here with openSuse 11.0 and 11.1

Worked with KDE3 but doesn't work with any KDE4 version (4.0 and 4.1.x) I tryed.
Comment 3 Dennis Schridde 2009-03-16 23:16:50 UTC 
Confirmed with Konqueror 4.2.1
Comment 4 Arnd 2009-05-03 15:53:33 UTC 
Confirmed with Konqueror 4.2.2 on Kubuntu 9.04

Comment 6 Bernd Paysan 2009-08-24 13:43:34 UTC 
In 4.3, the dialog to configure certificates went away. I hope it is only hidden, because it is currently of no use. Related issue: Installing new CAs (like CACert.org) didn't work, either (installing it by editing the CA list as root sort of works). Is anybody working on kio to fix those problems? Related: Kmail also doesn't/can't use client certificates for authentication via SSL.
Comment 7 Lars Scheiter 2009-10-07 10:02:34 UTC 
Currently testing KDE 4.3.2. I still cant configure/use client certificates, is anybody actually working on reimplementing this?
I tried Kleopatra and imported my client certificates, but konqueror still refuses to connect to these hosts.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 162485 ***
Comment 9 Dennis Schridde 2010-01-28 09:32:18 UTC 
Please reopen as Andreas Hartmetz decided in bug #162485 comment #61 that bug #162485 shall not be a kitchensink of all kinds of SSL related bugreports.
Comment 10 Andreas Hartmetz 2010-01-28 09:41:17 UTC 
Reopening, this is a useful report.
Comment 11 Mathias Homann 2011-01-05 14:32:20 UTC 
it has been almost a year since the last activity on this.
Comment 12 Alejandro Alvarez 2011-05-18 09:36:30 UTC 
Hello,

Any progress on this? The support for this in KDE 3 was good and straight forward. There is, at least, any workaround to get Konqueror (or Dolphin) working with client certificates?
Comment 13 Mathias Homann 2011-05-18 09:54:55 UTC 
my personal workaround: firefox 4.0.1. works fine. And for some reason its the default on openSUSE 11.4 anyways, even when you install kde4.
Comment 14 Alejandro Alvarez 2011-05-18 09:59:25 UTC 
True, but Firefox doesn't support WebDAV (only the HTTP subset), and that's the main reason Konqueror/Dolphin interest me.

Basically, WebDAV + Client certificate + Redirection support = Keep dreaming (Konqueror 3 supported that, though).

Thanks a lot, anyway.
Comment 15 Dawit Alemayehu 2011-10-28 18:35:49 UTC 
The reason why this does not work is because the code that sets the personal certificates is disabled in the lower levels of KIO. See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167668.
Comment 16 Janek Bevendorff 2012-06-18 19:22:41 UTC 
Please check if this issue is still valid for Konqueror 4.8.4 or later.
Comment 17 Mathias Homann 2012-06-18 19:37:16 UTC 
still valid, and there also is no place to actually import a client certificate anyways.

-> continuing to use firefox instead of konqueror.
Comment 18 Myriam Schweingruber 2012-06-18 20:25:55 UTC 
Thank you for the fast feedback. Set the dependency to the KIO issue
