Re: [Gramps-devel] Re : Error validating sourceforge server certificate

[Nick H. <nic...@ho...>]

Jerome,

I got the email and updated my password.

Today I got a certificate that failed to verify.  I got the error:  "The 
certificate is not issued by a trusted authority. Use the fingerprint to 
validate the certificate manually!"

Because of the recent security issues I decided to do as it said and 
validate the certificate manually.  I found the fingerprints:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/SSH%20key%20fingerprints

But none of them match, so I followed the link for svn:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Subversion#ServerCertificateVerificationFailed

and was still unable to verify the certificate in a web browser.

Of course, I can just accept the certificate anyway, but I thought I 
would ask on the list.


Nick.
