I think I have found all related info on this bug...  it's actually
being caused by empathy not asking to accept the CA certificate at
connection time.  Therefore you need to have a local copy of your(s) OC
server(s) certificate(s).

Here is my starting point, more specifically comment #19
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=754395#c19

That eventually leads to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=579116#c3

Which interestingly relates as well to an existing launchpad but:

WORKAROUND:

I ended-up finally being able to resolve the issue, hopefully for good!  I did 
the following (found from a previous post on redhat bugzilla):
openssl s_client -showcerts -connect MY_OFFICE_OC_SERVER_FQDN:sip-tls

I've copied the certificate portion to a file named
"MY_OFFICE_OC_SERVER_FQDN.pem" in "/usr/share/purple/ca-certs". The
relevant info was such as below.  Note that I was having two
certificates being offerred therefore in the file I also have the
related header such as::

 0 s:/DC=aa/DC=bb/DC=cc/DC=dd/CN=blabla
   i:/C=XX/O=OfficeName/CN=blablaRootCA
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
blabla
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
 1 s:/DC=aa/DC=bb/DC=cc/DC=dd/CN=blabla
   i:/C=XX/O=OfficeName/CN=blablaRootCA
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
blabla
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

And voilĂ !  Now only need empathy to do that automagically.
