Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 430512

(Penelope Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[David]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11
Build Identifier: 8.0.0.b2


Attempted to approve the self-signed cert for mail.8es.com to no avail.







Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Went to cert manager; servers. Entered <mail.8es.com> in pop-up, & confirm security exception. Checked.
Got "This site provides valid...no need to add an exception" message.

2.Now have: 
Unknown 
	not stored  mail.8es.com 
entry in place in cert manager.

3.Still get "ssl_bar_cert_domain" rejection when trying to check mail.

Actual Results:  
cert error rejection when logging in to checking mail.

Expected Results:  
let me log in

Previous version was OK; reverted to it.

Could easily be a RTFM error but did not find anything on the cert manager changes in docs/readme/etc.

I suspect this is a result of our moving to the Trunk Mozilla code. Will have to investigate when time permits. You might want to search the Thunderbird bugs to see if they have a similar bug entered as this will likely be a problem in Thunderbird 3.x as well.

Looked but did not find a 3.x release I could test.

Searched and found potentially related #328993 but that's not exactly the same, and is far older. Note 8.0.0b1 does still work.

You can get the nightly builds at http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/

What you want is a Trunk build (for example, from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/2008-04-23-03-trunk/).

As for Eudora 8.0.0b1 working, that is not unexpected as 8.0.0b1 was from before we moved to the Trunk (ie. the 2.x Thunderbird code).

<http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/2008-04-23-03-trunk/thunderbird-3.0a1pre.en-US.mac.dmg> fails in a similar if not identical manner. Approving the security exception is fruitless.

Entered as Bug 430512 there.
