It is not possible to ignore SSL errors if you declare your account as a "Google Talk" one.
I managed to declare my GTalk account as a "jabber" one and chose to ignore SSL errors : Encryption required – CHECKED Ignore SSL certificate errors – CHECKED Resource – BLANK Priority – 0 Server – talk.google.com Port – 5223 Use old SSL – CHECKED At least there is no more warning that pops up every 5 minutes. It is an acceptable workaround for me, but I find it confusing that I needed to switch to a manual "jabber" configuration to do that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to ca-certificates-java in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/828756 Title: getting "connection is untrusted" warnings Status in “ca-certificates-java” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “icedtea-web” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “p11-kit” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “ca-certificates-java” source package in Oneiric: Confirmed Status in “empathy” source package in Oneiric: Invalid Status in “icedtea-web” source package in Oneiric: Confirmed Status in “p11-kit” source package in Oneiric: Fix Released Status in “telepathy-gabble” package in Debian: Incomplete Bug description: Since updating to Oneiric, empathy is giving me "connection is untrusted" warning dialogs.
