Trac problems with certificates [message #60054]

Hi,

I have problems connecting to a trac server that uses a certificate.

When I try to download eg a task, then I get the following error message:

The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown.

(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

I had a similar issue with firefox, but this has been resolved somehow. The
certificate is certainly valid and the issuer is known to both firefox and
opera.

The certificiate is a Cybertrust Educational, a somewhat related discussion
is here:

http://www.nabble.com/About-the-Cybertrust-Educational-CA-ce rtificate-td19513129.html

I used to ignore the warnings in Firefox (which does not seem to be possible
in Mylyn) but don't get any warnings in Firefox any more (and I have not
added an exception in Firefox)

What can I do to make mylyn work with that trac repository?

Thanks,

Alex

Try following the steps outlined here:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Mylyn/FAQ#Why_do_I_get_an_error_when _accessing_secured_web_sites.3F

I am not sure if this still works with current versions of the internal
browser.

It works for me, but the Wiki page could be updated in two ways:

1. change mozilla to firefox (i think that firefox is used more these
days) or provide a note that this part of the command could be changed

2. as people are likely to view the page in firefox, issuing the command
will open a new window in the same browser instance and not load a new
profile. In order to achieve this, -no-remote has to be added to the
command line.

Regards,

Jorrit

I couldn't find the registration button, but I just had to look a little
more.

I have added it.
