Description Omer Akram 2010-01-10 08:03:37 UTC 
originally reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/480791

Try to connect empathy to a server via SSL/TLS which provides an untrusted certificate.
Empathy will report "Network error" without further information.

Empathy does not provide any way to import the certificate. The only option available in account settings is to ignore any certificate error (allowing man-in-the-middle attacks).

We are working a on a Telepathy interface for that.
Comment 2 Omer Akram 2010-03-23 13:09:24 UTC 
So this is not an empathy bug?
Comment 3 Guillaume Desmottes 2010-03-23 13:17:30 UTC 
Once the Telepathy interface is designed and implemented, Empathy will have to use it to implement UI so we should keep this bug open.
Comment 4 Omer Akram 2011-07-18 11:19:51 UTC 
I was thinking if I should update the empathy version in this bug report?
Comment 5 Ben Gamari 2013-01-17 15:48:46 UTC 
What is the status of this? Has the mentioned interface been implemented?
Comment 6 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2013-07-02 21:48:17 UTC 
Hey, that's actually been implemented a while ago (in 3.6? 3.4? not sure). Yay!
