315045 - Unable to always accept some certificates in Camino

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 315044

(Camino Graveyard :: Security, defect)

Description

[Ben]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051025 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050914 Camino/1.0a1

There are some secure websites that I frequently visit that use a certificate. Camino presents the details of the certificate with a message telling me "Unable to verify the identity of "(website)" as a trusted site. The cerficate if valid until February next year. I'd rather not disclose the address, I can provide it for the developers if they need it for testing.

The problem comes when I try to click "Always Accept". The dialog closes then re-opens with the same message. It will continue doing this indefinitely. The only workaround is to click "Stop" or "Accept One Time Only". These both work as expected.

Since I don't know much about certificates, I can't tell whether the problem lies with the site or with Camino. I don't have this problem with Firefox though.

Reproducible: Always
