Title:
  Have to confirm certificate on every connection

Status in remmina package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Every time I connect to a server it asks me to confirm the fingerprint
  of the certificate is correct. Whilst being quite useless as humans
  generally can't read hexadecimal very well, I suppose I could cross
  reference it the first time I connect. The fingerprint should be saved
  and the user should not be bothered on repeat connections.

  This is a security issue because it is impractical for the user to
  check the fingerprint every time they connect, especially considering
  how easy it would be for Remmina to cache. This dialog will simply be
  ignored and encourage the user to blindly accept every dialog they
  see, defeating the point of it to begin with.

  Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit / 0.9.99.1
