Description klondike 2014-09-16 20:52:20 UTC
For my znc IRC bouncer I use a cacert class 3 certificate.

The cacert class 3 is accepted as a valid certificate in both KDE's SSL settings and openssl's ca's list.

Connecting using https with either firefox, wget and konqueror works flawlessly, but when using konversation it complains that the certificate is not signed by a trusted CA despite both the class 3 and the root certificates provided in the chain are marked as trusted.

Since this is only happening with konversation I think the bug is in its SSL handling code.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add the cacert class 3 CA as a trusted CA
2. connect to irc.xiscosoft.es:7000 using SSL
3. konversation complains the certificate isn't trusted
4. Displaying the certificate chain shows the issue is that the certificate isn't signed by a trusted CA yet both of the other certificates in the certificate chain are shown as trusted.

Actual Results:  
SSL connection error, the user is required to accept a bogus warning

Expected Results:  
No SSL error as happens with the other clients

As a comment any KDE developer is welcome to test connecting to that server to test the issue by themselves, if a user is needed I can create one too.

For the record the issue still remains on Konversation 1.5.1
