Description Fabian Greffrath 2011-12-14 10:09:00 UTC 
Hi,

I have a private mail server running dovecot 1.2.15 to provide IMAP access to my mails. I have also created a private set of key and certificate for this server, that have not been signed off by any CA, of course. Now, each and every time I start Evolution, it presents me the certificate details and that the signature is bad and asks me if I want to accept it or not. There is no way to tell it "Yes, I accept it, please do not ask me again!"

Thanks for a bug report. It is supposed to save your certificate in the local certificate database and mark it as trusted or not trusted based on your decision, and this change should be saved, but there was a bug that this didn't work in certain cases (or vice versa, it worked in certain cases, even it might not work).

The saving issue had been fixed within bug #440316, thus maybe ask your distribution maintainers to backport that patch, or more precisely the part with camel_certdb_touch() and camel_certdb_save() from the end of the patch.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 440316 ***

Milan, thanks for the explanation and the fix. Would you say the attached patch is enough to fix this issue in e-d-s_3.2.2?

Yes, it looks like it should do the job for you.
