Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

Ubuntu 10.10 - The Maverick Meerkat
Evolution 2.30.3

When connecting to an LDAP server using TLS (to use as a contact source within Evolution) there is no GUI available to import a Certificate Authority or ignore an invalid certificate.

The only way to use LDAP and TLS in Evolution is to manually edit the ldap.conf file (by adding 'TLS_REQCERT never' or the local location of the CA cert etc.).

I would expect, when using Evolution's Certificate import preferences that importing a CA cert there would cause Evolution (or the LDAP client) to accept the TLS connection.
