cacert on N950 in OpenMode and MfE

Hey Community,

recently I discovered a N950 in my employers device archive.
Now I'd like to use this awesome device daily to replace my not so good WindowsPhone.

I've already been capable of bringing the N950 into Openmode.

I've got two Questions:

1) How to install custom CA's (cacert.org)
2) How to enable Mail for Exchange (Question might depend on Q1)

Ok, let's talk about more details:

I fail when trying to install new Root-Certificates (those of cacert.org)

When downloading and installing the certificate, I can see the certificate and it is added in the certificatemanager, but the /var/log/syslog says:

Code:

certificate_install: aegis_storage.cpp(1935): ERROR commit: access denied, cannot commit '/var/lib/aegis/ps/Ss/certman.ssl-ca'

I use cacert to secure my Mail, Calender and Contacts which are "hosted" with horde and can be accessed with ActiveSync.(Exchange)

Unfortunately I'm not able to connect to the "Exchange" Server with Mail-For-Exchange.
We could connect successfully with a N900 (with and without cacert certificates), Windows Phone and Android devices, so the server should not be the Problem.
MFE reports "Invalid host address for Mail for Exchange Server".

Code:

What I already tried:

Accepting the certificate when MfE asked me if I'd trust the cert
Adding root and class3 cert to /var/lib/aegis/certs/common-ca/ and to /var/lib/aegis/certs/user/*-ca
rehashing of /var/lib/aegis/certs/common-ca/ with c_rehash as suggested in http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=94484

But, as of now: no success

Do you have any ideas how to get this working?

Best Regards
xelo

=========
Solution:

Certificates:
1. Additional certificates can be Installed with

Code:

acmcli -c common-ca -a sha1HashOfPemEncodedCertificate.pem

This installs the certificate to

Code:

/var/lib/aegis/certs/common-ca/

2. In order to use this command, the device needs to use Inception and starts the command above using ariadne or it is runnig in OpenMode (See the mentioned Readme) and the developer shell is running with elevated rights
If neither develsh was elevated nor the device uses inception and ariadne, you will receive a

Code:

permission denied

MfE:

Not found yet (2016-01-24)

Re: cacert on N950 in OpenMode and MfE

short answer:

using web "facilities" to insert certs did not work on N900 (nor do I expect on N9/50)
copying certs manually to /var/lib/aegis/certs/common-ca will also not work

I would go like:
download cert in pem or convert into pem
put it wherever you like
and install it with /usr/bin/acmcli to common-ca (will need to dig for exact command...)
possibly c_refhash (as you already found out)
--edit
you might do it in as root with devel-su
AND possibly in "develsh" (giving some more rights), as I do not expect you to run that device in OpenMode?

P.S.: what I do not understand on N9/50 is why we have
/var/lib/aegis/certs (/common-ca)
and also
/etc/ssl/certs
Both seem to have the same certs installed (with different hashes/links)? So possibly we need this here, too?

Re: cacert on N950 in OpenMode and MfE

Thank's for your answer. I'll give it a shot later.

I'm running the device in OpenMode

Edit 1:
I tried without success

Code:

# acmcli -C aegis-certman-common-ca::CertCACommonAdd -lc common-ca -a 16b5321bd4c7f3e0e68ef3bdd2b03aeeb23918d1.pem



ERROR: cannot add certificates (Permission denied)



# acmcli -c common-ca -a 16b5321bd4c7f3e0e68ef3bdd2b03aeeb23918d1.pem



ERROR: cannot add certificates (Permission denied)

Edit 2: So this happens in the log:

Code:

Jan 20 21:02:57 (2016) acmcli: aegis_storage.cpp(1436): ERROR add_file: access denied

Jan 20 21:02:57 (2016) acmcli: aegis_storage.cpp(1641): ERROR add_link: access denied

Jan 20 21:02:57 (2016) acmcli: aegis_storage.cpp(1935): ERROR commit: access denied, cannot commit '/var/lib/aegis/ps/Gs/certman.common-ca'

Jan 20 21:02:57 (2016) acmcli: certman_main.cpp(1051): ERROR aegis_certman_add_certs: add certs failed (Permission denied)

Now created a "private" common-ca and removed it again, which worked...

Code:

# /usr/bin/acmcli -p common-ca -a 16b5321bd4c7f3e0e68ef3bdd2b03aeeb23918d1.pem

Added 1 certificates



# /usr/bin/acmcli -p common-ca -r 16b5321bd4c7f3e0e68ef3bdd2b03aeeb23918d1

Removed certificate '16b5321bd4c7f3e0e68ef3bdd2b03aeeb23918d1'

Now I'm out of Ideas...

Edit 3:
Installed Inception from openrepos.

Code:

/usr/sbin/pasiv

ariadne /usr/bin/acmcli -c common-ca -a 16b5321bd4c7f3e0e68ef3bdd2b03aeeb23918d1.pem

Password for 'root': 

Added 1 certificates

Well that's a start.

The log complained about a bunch of broken Certs

Now I can open Websites which are signed by withe cacert root. Without a Complaining webbrowser...

Achieved Today: Added cacert Root

Re: cacert on N950 in OpenMode and MfE

Okay, back to topic: Mail For Exchange.

I tried to add the account again.
No success: MfE fails again with a "Invalid Host Address for Mail for Exchange Server". But It stopped complaining about the Missing/Invalid Certificates.

Re: cacert on N950 in OpenMode and MfE

Let MfE step back (need to power up my N950-in-use and have a look) and first get your certs done!

I gave you the hint already:
devel-su
develsh

acmcli -c common-ca -e -a myCert.pem

and Boom! :)

After that check again.
Please make a copy of
/var/lib/aegis/certs/common-ca
and
/et/ssl/certs
so you can diff them later.
I have no idea if cert will be added to /etc/ssl/certs, too.

Thanks for the clarification.
I gave this approach a shot.

I'm setting Mail, Username and Password.
Then I go to Manual Setup (Server does not support autodiscover) and add the HostName, Port 443

Code:

E-Mail: mail@domain.tld

User: mail@domain.tld

Pass: PASSWORD

Domain: Nothing

Server Address: horde.domain.tld

Secure: YES

Port:443

I also tried:

Code:

E-Mail: mail@domain.tld

User: mail

Pass: PASSWORD

Domain: domain.tld

Server Address: horde.domain.tld

Secure: YES

Port:443

If you like I can provide you an account for testing purposes on Saturday.

Which works is more correct :) It did work. MfE on N900 successfully added the account and synced. Device that already had cacert CA worked right away, while device without the cert first gave a warning which you are able to ignore.
Attachment 38085
So, it synced without the root cert being on N900 at all.
