The SSL certificate for SVN checkouts should be:

I get this instead:

Does the page need to be updated, or am I getting MITM'd?


Since I asked myself on August 9, I've seen the cert fingerprint flip  
back and forth between these two several times, and once to a  
completely different fingerprint. Either there really is a MITM  
attack, or there are two different servers which aren't configured  
identically.


I would really appreciate the FAQ being updated to explain this other  
fingerprint. Unexplained but “normal” fingerprint changes are a great  
way to train users to ignore the security benefits of fingerprint  
checking.

Re: SVN certificate doesn't match

2010-09-07 Thread Jost
I have a similar problem.
SVN commands from within Eclipse complain about the certificate not
being trusted (and a non-matching hostname):

 Error validating server certificate for 'https://
migrid.googlecode.com:443':
 - The certificate is not issued by a trusted authority. Use the
   fingerprint to validate the certificate manually!
 - The certificate hostname does not match.
Certificate information:
 - Subject: CN=*.googlecode.com, O=Google Inc, L=Mountain View,
ST=California, C=US
 - Valid: from Thu Aug 05 06:57:23 CEST 2010 until Fri Aug 05 07:07:23
CEST 2011
 - Issuer: CN=Google Internet Authority, O=Google Inc, C=US
 - Fingerprint: 85:78:89:4d:68:6b:75:33:f9:21:fb:b6:de:7d:e6:0e:70:1f:
98:04

This is the same fingerprint as quoted in the original message.
Where on the googlecode site can I find the correct fingerprint?

Thanks
Jost

 like there have been some postings to this group before, and chatter
 on several projects' mailings lists about it, but no official reply.
 I
 let the checkout proceed but I'm not going to build or run it until I
 have some idea what's going on. I guess that's bad if SVN or Windows
 has a vulnerability that can be exploited by a checkout. Oh well.
