Description Flags
Extra certs in kdelibs bundle none

Description Tomas Hoger 2009-09-08 16:29:40 UTC
Description of problem:
kdelibs (and kdelibs3) ship own bundle of trusted CA certificates (ca-bundle.crt, stored in /usr/share/kde4/apps/kssl and /usr/share/apps/kssl respectively).  Fedora already contains a separate package containing such bundle expected to be used for general web surfing (just like kdelibs' bundle) - ca-certificates package (bundle was previously provided by openssl).

Have you considered using bundle from ca-certificates instead of the one shipped with KDE sources?  Doing some search on the internet, people seem to expect "system" (i.e. ca-certificates') bundle to be use by default, even more now that KDE4's SSL management GUI is incomplete:

Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2009-09-08 16:32:20 UTC
Created attachment 360102 [details]
Extra certs in kdelibs bundle

I did some rudimentary Subject-based diff between the bundles.  Attached list contains 30 CAs listed in kdelibs bundle and not in ca-certificates.  Plus another 12, which are already expired and hence should be safe to ignore now.

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2009-09-08 18:14:47 UTC
Agreed, system copies are preferable.  I'll take a look.

not sure how best to handle the extra certs.

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2009-09-08 18:24:51 UTC
My reading of
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162485#c14
makes it sound like qt's ca-certs are used (though not purposefully, and that may soon change), so now that we have qt fixed (bug #521911), we get this one for free (for now, in kdelibs anyway).

Long-term we can look to fix this better (and for kdelibs3 too).

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2009-09-08 18:44:44 UTC
Considerations:
* add kde certs to qt's ca-cert path too ?

* integrate something similar to patch referenced at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162485#c17 , to load system ca-certificates 
  * with or without the ones included in kssl/ca-bundle.crt ?

Ping any updates Rex?

Comment 6 Rex Dieter 2009-11-12 14:00:30 UTC
no change, other than to reaffirm comment #3 , that our use of ca-certificates in qt should mean kde gets those for free.  Needs confirmation/testing however. 

Further, I'd feel better if there were more movement on the upstream bug (162485).

Comment 7 Rex Dieter 2010-01-29 19:34:05 UTC
Rats, according to this thread,
http://lists.kde.org/?t=126472494900001&r=1&w=2

kdelibs override's qt's ca cert bundle.
