#7566: Pidgin 2.5.2 does not save ssl information
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Reporter: publicunimail | Type: defect
Status: new | Component: pidgin (gtk)
Version: 2.5.2 | Keywords: security ssl bug important
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Pidgin 2.5.2 does not save ssl information in a usable fashion. That is,
after i accept an ssl certificate for talk.gmail.com (common name
goolgle.com) or for various irc ssl connections, on disconnect or
reopening pidgin it will prompt me to accept the same certificate again.
This means that ssl verification on these connections is not really able
to be used. Unless you store the certificate or are able to confirm that
certificate you said yes to previously is the same.
This behavior does not occur on debian lenny using the 2.4.3 pidgin which
they patched re the previous pidgin ssl problem.
