Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050519 Camino/0.8+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050519 Camino/0.8+


If https is required on the built-in web server in a Linksys router it is
impossible to configure the router with Camino because Linksys apparently uses
the same certificate for all their routers. Camino gives an error which says: 

"You have received an invalid certificate.  Please contact the server
administrator or email correspondent and give them the following information:

Your certificate contains the same serial number as another certificate issued
by the certificate authority.  Please get a new certificate containing a unique
serial number." 

This seems fine, but then the only option is to click the OK button and use a
different browser. Firefox gives a similar warning but allows the user to
override it and accept the invalid certificate either permanently or just for
the current session.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure the built-in web server on a Linksys router to require https.
2. Attempt to connect to the router's web server with Camino
3. Silly rabbit, there is no step 3.

Actual Results:  
Camino refuses to allow connections to the router.

Expected Results:  
Allow the user to override the warning and connect to the router if he or she so
choosed.

i think there have been some changes to the security dialog apis that we need to
make sure we stay current with.

I'm experiencing the same behaviour on Mac OS X.4.2

Try with a recent build; Camino now has better cert support.

Also, does this work in Firefox?

This needs re-testing with 1.0a1 or a more recent nightly branch build.

Comment 6

[Bo Orloff]

This appears to be fixed in Camino 1.0a1.
