Public bug reported:

Hi,

every time I fetch transactions from my banks using Gnucash, it asks me
again whether the bank's certificate is valid (perhaps even multiple
times, at least initially). This encourages a habit of clicking yes on
anything, rather than re-checking the certificate. Security best
practises will differ.

Instead, I would expect gnucash to ask once and then store that
certificate forever. Or even verify the certificate all by itself -- the
same way firefox doesn't show any certificate popups on https:// sites.

This problem occurs with three different large banks, all of them using
Aqbanking and either version of HBCI.


This might be a regression of a bug fixed earlier because these reports from 
2009 experience the same problem:
