[Solved] E-mail certificate problem
 

Hello.

I have a certificate problem with my e-mail account (imaps and smtps) on n900.
The certificate seems valid and I can connect without any problem from thunderbird, but on the n900 it appears a message that tells me "certificate unkown".

To troubleshoot this issue I used these commands to see if the certificate is valid:

and all seems all right, except the fact that the certificate became valid yesterday.

I would like to know if the n900 doesn't know that certificate because it is too recent and what is the official way to get it in n900 (I mean not me having to manually accept it).

N900 with CSSU Stable Version 21.2011.38-1Smaemo6.1

PS: BTW how can I remove a self-signed certificate if I already accepted it, where do I have to look to remove it?

Thanks.

I've tried to update n900 but it is already up to date, and I deleted all the accounts I had in modest and tried to reconfigure them with no success (still have the message with unknown certificate)

I was wondering: How the new certificates get in maemo, I mean that the certificate I need is new (released in 9th of December) so maybe that maemo just don't know it, and it should update the certificates database.

I've read the bug report but I don't seem to understand everything:

What should I copy from where to where before removing /home/user/.modest/cache/mail/.camel_certs/*?

Okay, the required command was not mentioned where I expected it (but I do kow somewhere else on TMO ;)). So we go here:
you need to fetch the certificate in PEM format from issuer
and execute
cmcli --help tells you more ...

--
of course if it is a cert chain and the other certs are also newer you need to install them too.

How do I download the certificate in PEM format? I don't have any experience with this as every time everything used to work out of the box.

Re: E-mail certificate problem
 

Look on your provider's web appearance, check internet and certificate authorities, use google.
Or just mail your provider and ask for the certificate(s).

Solved. I accepted the certificate and now the connection is made without warning. Still I don't understand why that certificate wasn't in the n900 as it was valid.

My host's certificate also wasn't included by default but Modest asked me the first time I connected to my IMAP account. I am surprised yours didn't.
