Public bug reported:
Every time I connect to a server it asks me to confirm the fingerprint
of the certificate is correct. Whilst being quite useless as humans
generally can't read hexadecimal very well, I suppose I could cross
reference it the first time I connect. The fingerprint should be saved
and the user should not be bothered on repeat connections.
This is a security issue because it is impractical for the user to check
the fingerprint every time they connect, especially considering how easy
it would be for Remmina to cache. This dialog will simply be ignored and
encourage the user to blindly accept every dialog they see, defeating
the point of it to begin with.
