HI There, I have been using Pidgin for a while now but am getting the below error. The certificate for omega.contacts.msn.com could not be validated. The certificate chain presented is invalid. Is there an easy way of fixing this? Apologies for coming direct to you guys but I am really busy at the moment and don't have time to investigate why this is happening. Thanks for your time.

Pidgin 2.7.7 - ICQ SSL connection still fails
Hi all, the problem with ICQ SSL connection was not fully solved. Today morning I've made on my WXP(SP3) a completely new installation of Pidgin 2.7.7 (=everything what I've found from older istalls, was deleted before installation), but problem with ICQ persists, e.g. Jabber works fine. I'm sitting behind proxy/firewall so unsecured access is not solution for me. It's strange, that at home (on my desktop 2 laptops) with the same settings (slogin.icq.com/5190/encrypted connection if available/clientLogin) is Pidgin working without any troubles. Enclosed You'll find a debug log. I hope that it could help to find the solution. BTW Paralel connection with an ancient Miranda 0.6.8 is successfull.

Not all of the new ICQ servers support SSL. The only combinations of options that will work are: * clientLogin off and connection security set to Don't use encryption * clientLogin on and connection security set to Don't use encryption * clientLogin on and connection security set to Use encryption if available The combination of clientLogin and Use encryption if available is the default for new accounts and will work by using SSL where available and falling back to unsecured connections where necessary. We've been led to believe that eventually all the new ICQ servers will support SSL just as the AIM servers currently do.

Re: help
(Pulled back to support@ as an instructive example.) Terry Haggis spake unto us the following wisdom: Is this for real? Is this supposed to be Support?? A little bit rude if you ask me. So is asking a question which has been answered numerous times, and without even looking to see if there's been an update to Pidgin to fix it. From another poorly-formatted email: Can I have the contact details of your line manager please. There are no line managers. Pidgin is an Open Source software project, written by volunteers in their free time, and given to you for free in the hopes that it will be useful to you. Support is likewise handled on an entirely volunteer basis, by the developers who wrote it for you and gave it to you for free. The least you can do is look at the support archives, FAQ, etc. before asking a question wherein you *admit* that you spent no time whatsoever trying to solve it. Perhaps you're under the impression that you bought Pidgin, or a Pidgin support package, or that Pidgin is a commercial product in which the developers have a pecuniary interest. None of these statements are true. We are volunteers, we give you Pidgin out of our own free time and free will, and we support it on the same. This is a relationship where both parties have to be prepared to give a little. We gave a lot. It's your turn. The fact that you are contacting us under business auspices indicates a likelihood that Pidgin *is* working in your financial interest, as you were able to obtain a capable and flexible messenger program *for free*. Consider reading the available documentation the purchase price. :-P Ethan (Who does not speak for all Pidgin developers, some are much softer-hearted than I.) signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Please give option to hide mobile users in Yahoo etc.
I had written it a few months ago, repeating. Yahoo, etc., has option to remain online on mobile. The chat message is sent to the user's mobile, and the user has to reply via sms (i guess) for the chat to continue. Mostly, users don't bother to sms and the chat stops. Whatever, It would be helpful to yahoo users in pidgin if we could show/ hide such users who are mobile online. Please consider including such an option, even yahoo doesn't have such an option.

Re: Please give option to hide mobile users in Yahoo etc.
On a similar train of thought - Pidgin used to log in a conversation window when a user (typically in my experience AIM or Yahoo) went mobile, and when they returned from mobile. I've not noticed Pidgin do this in a while, so either it is broke or I need to check a preference to enable it? Adium on my Mac does it, so I'd expect Pidgin to be able to do it also since they are both based on libpurple. On 11/24/10 1:43 PM, V S Rawat wrote: I had written it a few months ago, repeating.

MSN SSL problems again
So what is it? Has microsoft decided to make a play for propritary tech or something? After having fixed the MSN SSL cert already - it froze up my pigin only too force me to restart, leading to a return of the now well loved omega ssl certificate error.

In this case, it is probably a case of being reckless about Pidgin, etc., but, if you actually read the terms of use you agree to when you sign up to the MSN service, you will find that you agree not to use Pidgin or any other client not in a short list of approved clients. Part of this will be for protection against misoperating clients, but a major factor will be protecting the business model on which the service is based. For example, a recent comment was that Pidgin avoided the adverts that you get with Live Messenger, but one of the reasons Microsoft will operate that service free of charge to end users will be the advertising revenue that they obtain. In this case, the change was probably made for valid security reasons, but it seems to have taken short cuts which rely on an updated client having information coded into it that the server would have to provide, in other cases, such as accessing https URLs. The Microsoft client will have this update done, but until they make the change, unofficial clients may have no reason to believe that the client has been prepared for such a change. -- David Woolley Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.

Re: any plans to include Rediff bol in pidgin
There is a plugin for it on the ThirdPartyPlugins wiki page. If it works, great. If it doesn't, talk to its authors. We have absolutely no desire to take on more protocols we know nothing about and cannot reasonably maintain. Even if the authors of the plugin were to chime in and offer to support it and maintain it going forward I think we would likely be unwilling to include it without seeing them actually do that for some good amount of time first (our recent experience with the MXit prpl has been less than stellar in this regard for example). -Etan ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

The change was made because their SSL certificate was expiring, so they renewed it, I guess that counts as valid security reasons. The reason they didn't detect (and so far don't seem too concerned about) the mis-configuration of the server(s) is that their primary client already recognizes the new intermediate certificates that signed the new SSL certificate as trusted anyway, so they don't have a problem with the fact that the server(s) are still providing the old intermediates in the chain. But the reason their primary client trusts the new certificate is simply because they ship update their primary OS with their own intermediate certificates too.

You’ll get an error on the page, but don’t worry. Just double click on the certificate icon and export the file to your Desktop or wherever. 3. Then go back into Pidgin and go to Tools / Certificates and Add it via the Certificate Manager. It should work now. Yay.

Our PPA is for Ubuntu. If our packages work on Ubuntu derivatives, great. If not, we're not all that concerned. Our PPA is maintained by *one* developer who uses and cares about Ubuntu. He doesn't spend time on Ubuntu derivatives. The pidgin-ppa package does somewhat support Linux Mint because a number of people use our PPA that way. Basically, I have a mapping table between the Linux Mint releases and their underlying Ubuntu releases. As long as a given Linux Mint release remains binary compatible with that Ubuntu release, the pidgin/libpurple/finch packages *should* work, but if they don't, I'll only care to the extent that I want to know so I can disable that version of Linux Mint in the mapping table. I'll try to deal with this tomorrow when I (hopefully) get to packaging 2.7.7.

Also, saying that you are not prepared to search for answers before asking is not a way to win friends amongst people who provide answers to such questions. Commercial organisations will accept such enquiries because you have paid to be able to make them.

We rushed a release out to do two important things--finish fixing the MSN certificate issue we thought we had fixed for 2.7.6 and fix the AIM SSL Handshake Failure problem introduced in 2.7.6.
