Empathy Facebook always complains that connection is untrusted

[Gareth Williams]

Binary package hint: empathy

Even though I tick the 'Remember this choice for future connections' box, Empathy always asks me to confirm the untrusted certificate when it logs onto Facebook.

hi, same problem than in the 746973 bug : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/telepathy-gabble/+bug/746973

Please try this and make us know if it works :

1/ Open Firefox and connect to https://www.facebook.com with your facebook account
Go into the firefox Edit menu and click on Preferences -> Advanced -> View Certificates
Scroll down to DigiCert section
Select "DigiCert High Assurance CA-3"
Export as "X.509 Certificate (PEM)" to /tmp/DigiCertHighAssuranceCA-3.crt

2/ Open a terminal window
sudo cp /tmp/DigiCertHighAssuranceCA-3.crt /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/DigiCert_High_Assurance_CA-3.crt
sudo dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates
select the new DigiCert_High_Assurance_CA-3.crt and press space on it
validate with OK
disconnect / reconnect empathy, the certificate doesn't show anymore.

Yepp, these steps worked. Thanks!

Make sure to press *space* on the DigiCert certificate. I didn't do that the first time and it didn't work. ;）
