GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 636218
hostname certificate matching configuration
Last modified: 2010-12-01 15:46:44 UTC
Hello, GNOME'ers. I'm using Empathy ( 2.32 ( Ubuntu package version 2.32.0.1-0ubuntu1 )), and one of my servers has a generated SSL Cert ( from the app it's self ) with a wrong hostname. I agree, this is fantastic to check for, and I thank the implementer. However, I do have two ideas that I'd like a bit of feedback on. * I think it might be useful to have "Disable warnings" button ( on a per-account level, so as to not compromise other protocols ). * It might also be good to add in a bit of "smarts", so if you give it the "O.K." once, it will remember that going forward. Right now, my connection bounces, and that error box keeps popping up over my work. It's to the point where I won't use Empathy. It's a shame, because I really do enjoy the rest of the application. Thanks for your time! Paul

I think the "Ignore SSL errors" option in the advanced section does that. > * It might also be good to add in a bit of "smarts", so if you give it the > "O.K." once, it will remember that going forward. That's bug #634489
Yup. That's it. Sorry for the false bug report. I'll mark this a dupe. Thanks, GNOME. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 634489 ***
