Description jvcelak@redhat.com 2012-07-21 15:53:41 UTC
Full_Name: Jan Vcelak
Version: git master
OS: Linux
URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/jvcelak-20120721-moznss-ignore-untrusted-issuer-verifying-server-cert.patch
Submission from: (NULL) (193.165.79.10)


If a self-issued certificate in PEM format is used as a server certificate, the
TLS context initialization can fail with SEC_ERROR_UNTRUSTED_ISSUER error.

Unfortunately we cannot set trust flags of the server certificate loaded by
MozNSS PEM module. This patch allows to ignore this error code.

I forgot to add: The patch deals only with a local certificate validation. It does not have any effect on a remote peer's certificate verification.
