Title:
sec_error_inadequate_key_usage
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox
Ubuntu release: 8.04 (Hardy)
Package: firefox-3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3
Trying to access some site and get following error page:
# BEGIN (not included in error)
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to ***.
Certificate key usage inadequate for attempted operation.
(Error code: sec_error_inadequate_key_usage)
The page you are trying to view can not be shown because the
authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
* Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this
problem.
# END (not included in error)
This error won't show up with Firefox 2.0.0.14 which I'm using on a
Windows installed system and I couldn't find a way to add an exception
for this, so I'm stuck.
Tried with Firefox3.0rc1 on Windows, again, and here's the error page:
# BEGIN (not included in error)
Secure Connection Failed
*** uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because it is self signed.
The certificate is only valid for the following names:
*** , ***
(Error code: sec_error_ca_cert_invalid)
* This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it
could be someone trying to impersonate the server.
* If you have connected to this server successfully in the past,
the error may be temporary, and you can try again later.
Or you can add an exception…
# END (not included in error)
... which is a different scenario as you can see:
"sec_error_inadequate_key_usage" vs "sec_error_ca_cert_invalid".
In 3.0rc1 you can add an exception and you're done, _but_ in 3.0~b5
you seem to be stuck there, fear not: There's a workaround for this.
You could export and then import certificate manually. [1]
Once you've done that reload page and error page become this:
# BEGIN (not included in error)
Secure Connection Failed
*** uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because it is self signed.
The certificate is not valid for any server names.
(Error code: sec_error_untrusted_cert)
* This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it could be
someone trying to impersonate the server.
* If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the
error may be temporary, and you can try again later.
Or you can add an exception…
# END (not included in error)
... and then you can add an exception to get this thing work.
