Are you sure it's _expired_? We're aware of the problem where the
server is using a certificate signed by an untrusted authority. This
problem will be fixed in Pidgin 2.10.8, which should be released on
Tuesday.

So you're working on a plugin of some sort? The user IS shown a
confirmation dialog for the untrusted authority case. I don't know the
details, but it might be possible to listed to a signal to approve the
request. If not, it should be possible to intercept the ui_op, check
if it's the certificate request, and auto-accept by calling the "ok"
function callback. Not easy, but should be possible.

You could also just add the new CA cert to wherever they live:
