Title:
  empathy throws untrusted certificate warning on google chat services
  using google apps (non-google domains)

Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: empathy

  On Ubuntu 10.10, Empathy will throw an 'untrusted certificate,
  proceed?' warning during log-on for the Google Chat service when the
  user is using Google Apps and not a standard gmail.com /
  googlemail.com / google.com email address.

  As an example, my Google Chat address uses Google Apps (google
  services through personally owned domains) and is
  david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, and empathy expects the certificate hostname to
  match the 'justsomeboy.com' domain and not the google domain.

  The error thrown is:

  This connection is untrusted. Would you like to continue anyway?

  The identity provided by the chat server cannot be verified. The
  hostname verified by the certificate doesn't match the server name.

  Expected hostname: justsomeboy.com
  Certificate hostname: talk.google.com

  This is a recent change, earlier Maverick builds didn't throw this
  message. As there is no way on the Google Apps service to include
  certificates, this trusting check potentially should be disabled for
  the Google Chat service.
