(In reply to imma from comment #0) > Description of problem: > > After updating to Fedora 44, the pidgin client asks users to accept the > certificate from the XMPP server, even though it should be trusted the > system. Since we use letsencrypt for these certificates, this happens every > ~60 days. On Fedora 43, the cert is automatically accepted. > > > Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): > > Pidgin 2.14.14-4.fc44 (libpurple 2.14.14) > > > How reproducible: > > whenever xmpp server cert has changed > > > Steps to Reproduce: > > 1. setup pidgin server with certificate that should be trusted by the system > (e.g. a letsencrypt cert) > 2. start pidgin client (if cert was already accepted, remove cached cert > from ~/.purple/certificates/x509/tls_peers/ beforehand) > > > Actual results: > > pidgin client asks user to accept cert > > > Expected results: > > cert is trusted > > > Additional info: > > This is likely related to > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/droppingOfCertPemFile > > When starting piding with pidgin -d on F44 we see this (I changed all > internal user / server names): > > (15:46:46) nss: SSL version 3.4 using 128-bit AES-GCM with 128-bit AEAD MAC > Server Auth: 2048-bit TLS 1.3, Key Exchange: 255-bit TLS 1.3, Compression: > NULL > Cipher Suite Name: TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 > (15:46:46) nss: subject=CN=MY-XMPP-SERVER.com issuer=CN=YR1,O=Let's > Encrypt,C=US > (15:46:46) nss: subject=CN=YR1,O=Let's Encrypt,C=US issuer=CN=Root > YR,O=ISRG,C=US > (15:46:46) nss: subject=CN=Root YR,O=ISRG,C=US issuer=CN=ISRG Root > X1,O=Internet Security Research Group,C=US > (15:46:46) certificate/x509/tls_cached: Starting verify for > MY-XMPP-SERVER.com > (15:46:46) certificate/x509/tls_cached: Checking for cached cert... > (15:46:46) certificate/x509/tls_cached: ...Not in cache > (15:46:46) certificate/x509/ca: Couldn't open location > '/usr/share/purple/ca-certs' > (15:46:46) certificate/x509/ca: Lazy init completed. > (15:46:46) nss: CERT 2.
