Description Jason Haar 2012-02-29 02:18:33 UTC
Description of problem:

nautilus doesn't properly support webDAV servers that have multiple hostnames via Subject Alternative Name

If you connect to a trusted (ie the CA is trusted) webdavs server by an alternate DNS name, it connects just fine (ie the Alternate name support works). However, if you click on a file on such a share, it gives you a warning that the cert refers to a different host than it should ("Security Warning: Domain Name Mismatch") - so different checks are going on there... 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

nautilus-3.0.2

I'm actually on FC15, but googling didn't show anyone else noticing, so I assume it's still an issue under FC17

How reproducible:

always per mount-time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mount webdavs share in nautilus
2. double-click on file
3. see warning
  
Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:

This is probably some library at fault - not nautilus - but I ain't guessing! As nautilus should have already done that check when the share was opened, why does it check when the first file is opened? Surely any decision making has already occurred?

Comment 1 Jason Haar 2012-02-29 22:54:04 UTC
Actually, I think this is libreoffice now - not nautilus. When I opened the davfs share, it was clicking on .doc files that triggered the cert warning. However, I can't see how libreoffice would even know it was a dav share? Surely gvfs "pipes" the file open request - so only it would know it was a remote file? I dunno - you guys should ;-)

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-04 00:18:52 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '17'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Bug Reporter:  Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you 
would still like  to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version  of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2013-08-01 03:51:43 UTC
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
