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.
