Pidgin Self Signed Certificate
asked Apr 17 '15 at 17:59 That Brazilian Guy 1,2193935 Please add the Ubuntu version and the source for this Pidgin version. –A.B. Apr 24 '15 at 14:18 Did you see this? Maybe somebody could work with that information... –Byte Commander Apr 24 '15 at 14:31 @ByteCommander the link you provided is just a proposition mockup. I'd love to see it implement, but I'm no developer. –That Brazilian Guy Apr 24 '15 at 14:42 I need an invalid certificate. =) –A.B. Apr 24 '15 at 14:53 @A.B. Did you edit the source already? If yes I'll move to something else :) –kos Apr 24 '15 at 15:05 | show 2 more comments 8 Answers 8 active oldest votes up vote 10 down vote As alternative you can download the ssl certificate by hand. Afterwards pidgin starts without problems. To download the certificate you can use openssl command line utility. ~/.purple/certificates/x509/tls_peers$ openssl s_client -connect YOUR_SERVER:PORTNUMBER When the above command fails with "no peer certificate available" then maybe the server uses STARTTLS instead of SSL. In this case use the following command: ~/.purple/certificates/x509/tls_peers$ openssl s_client -connect YOUR_SERVER:PORTNUMBER -starttls xmpp Now copy the part beginning with "----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----". If you print the content of the certificate file it looks like the following: ~/.purple/certificates/x509/tls_peers$ cat jabber.ulm.ccc.de -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIFXDCCA0QCCQCa5jxvwccm0DAN

msn all the time giving me the message "unable to validate certificate. The pidgin unable to find issuer certificate certificate for omega.contacts.msn.com could not be validated. The certificate chain presented is invalid" after a few minutes it worked again but the certificate for gmail.com could not be validated. the certificate chain presented is invalid. now it does not work at all anymore. i updated pidgin to the newest version and im not using any kind of plugins Oldest first Newest first Threaded Comments only Change History (128) http://askubuntu.com/questions/610585/force-pidgin-to-acept-an-invalid-certificate comment:1 Changed 6 years ago by bernmeister I found that if I tried to reconnect, after about 20 attempts it finally connected. I don't know if I'll have to go through the same thing if I restart Pidgin... Just keep persisting and you hopefully will connect. Dunno if this is an actual issue which can be fixed in code. comment:2 Changed 6 years ago by GingerDog I'm seeing https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/12906 the same issue - Ubuntu maverick's stock version AND Pidgin 1:2.7.5-1ubuntu2+pidgin1.10.10 via the ppa... I've tried deleting the cached certs using : rm ~/.purple/certificates/x509/tls_peers/login.live.com rm ~/.purple/certificates/x509/tls_peers/*.passport.com rm ~/.purple/certificates/x509/tls_peers/*.msn.com and restarting pidgin, but this made no difference. comment:3 Changed 6 years ago by drunkenmonkey Woke up this morning (about 30mins ago) and found I've got a similar problem. I had about 20 windows saying 'Unable to validate certificate' for omega.contacts.msn.com, closed them all and a couple more popped up over about 5-10mins. No more since. I can see my contacts and it seems to be working ok, my contacts are all offline atm so i haven't tried sending or receiving msgs, but one contact did log in quickly before. Pretty sure my contacts were showing up even when i was getting the error msg. Tried doing a search for the problem, but couldn't find much. Ps. I'm on lucid comment:4 Changed 6 years ago by Dimmuxx Ticket #12908 has been marked as a duplicate of this ticket. comment:5 follow-up: ↓ 16 Changed 6 years ago by Dimmuxx Resolution set to worksforme Status changed from new to closed This will be fixed sooner or later, all servers just need to be updated. comment:6 Changed

As it is not possible to tell the client not to validate the chain, I would like to get the certificate chain in order to import it there. Therefore I use: openssl s_client -connect my.jabber.server.net:5222 CONNECTED(00000003) 140472458057376:error:140790E5:SSL > routines:SSL23_WRITE:ssl handshake failure:s23_lib.c:177: > --- no peer certificate available > --- No client certificate CA names sent > --- SSL handshake has read 0 bytes and written 213 bytes > --- New, (NONE), Cipher is (NONE) Secure Renegotiation IS NOT supported Compression: NONE Expansion: NONE > --- Why don't I get the certificate chain while my jabber client does? ssl xmpp share|improve this question asked Jan 14 '15 at 14:08 ProfHase85 212410 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 5 down vote accepted The solution is: Jabber requires starttls: openssl s_client -connect my.jabber.server.net:5222 /.purple/certificates/x509/tls_peers) Delete everything in the certificate folder. Restart pidgin and eventually you should get a new certificate that works. P.S: Windows users who aren’t familiar with %appdata% just type %appdata%\.purple in yo
