[Bug 828756] Re: getting "connection is untrusted" warnings

 

It is not possible to ignore SSL errors if you declare your account as a
"Google Talk" one.

I managed to declare my GTalk account as a "jabber" one and chose to
ignore SSL errors :

Encryption required – CHECKED
Ignore SSL certificate errors – CHECKED
Resource – BLANK
Priority – 0
Server – talk.google.com
Port – 5223
Use old SSL – CHECKED

At least there is no more warning that pops up every 5 minutes.

It is an acceptable workaround for me, but I find it confusing that I
needed to switch to a manual "jabber" configuration to do that.

Bug description:
  Since updating to Oneiric, empathy is giving me "connection is
  untrusted" warning dialogs. For some reason, it's not verifying the
  certificate properly. For security reasons, this needs to get fixed.

  See attached screenshot.
