Re: [Geary] Trusting Server issues

[Jim Nelson <jim yorba org>]

It could very well be a permissions issue.  Geary doesn't read or write directly from the filesystem when dealing with certificates, it simply calls gcr-3 for information.  Those calls, obviously, read and write from the filesystem, but where that happens is up to the installed back-end (gnome-keyring, if I understand things correctly).  The three calls Geary uses from gcr-3 are:

gcr_trust_is_certificate_pinned

gcr_trust_remove_pinned_certificate

gcr_trust_add_pinned_certificate

Anything you can add to the ticket is welcome.  At this point I believe these issues to be configuration/installation problems.  (The other reporter noted that the issue went away when he installed Xubuntu, for example.)  I'm just not sure what Geary could be doing wrong here, as our use of gcr-3 is pretty constrained.-- Jim

 

OK Jim. will try to add helpful information to the ticket.  And I will reflect as well on my config to see what could be causing the problem.  As far the latter, the first thing that comes to mind is a permissions issue.  Are you able to describe what the pinning process does, what is geary looking for and what is it writing to?
