RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
When connecting to a new system via TLS / SSL, Mutt requires the user to save the certificate.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.5.20-7.20091214hg736b6a.el6

How reproducible:
Very


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure spoolfile (or folder, etc.) as imaps://[some host with valid cert]

Actual results:
Mutt prompts the user to save the certificate

Expected results:
Mutt uses the system default CA bundle in /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt from the ca-certificates RPM.


Additional info:
Compiled in default is unset:
In muttrc(5):
       ssl_ca_certificates_file
              Type: path
              Default: “”

It also appears to not be configured in default configuration:
smtp01:$ rpm --verify mutt
smtp01:$ grep ssl_ca_certificates /etc/Muttrc | grep -v ^#
smtp01:$

Created attachment 1055671 [details]
add path to system ca-bundle to default configuration
