Package: empathy
Version: 0.21.5.2-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I'm not sure if this belongs to empathy or telepathy-gabble. Anyway:
I just upgraded empathy and it decided to not trust my server's SSL
certificate showing up and error with no option to trust the server
certificate which would leave the average user with an empty contact
list and an error without any options ;(
I found out that: /apps/telepathy/mc/accounts/jabber0/param-old-ssl
set to True in gconf would solve the problem, but "param-old-ssl"
seems to mean "I'm gonna disappear" so, maybe empathy should provide
someway to Trust server certificates or at least give some direction
to the user on what to do.
On the meantime, maybe "param-old-ssl" should default to True to not
screw things for the users which could have trouble solving the
problem (Not everybody would look into gconf).
Cheers,
Marc

The current default is to not require encryption. If you server supports TLS
then gabble will always try to use TLS, but it will ignore SSL errors.

That's a bit of an unanswered questions. Debians loudmouth should trust your
server certificate if it's in the standard ssl locations. The other part is
that there are currently no mechanisms in telepathy to ask the UI about
certifcate errors. We're still pondering on the right way to make that happen
Closing it for now as the UI provides the user with enough configuration
options to ignore ssl errors.
