5.19.2006 A web mail account I have offers protected login and mail transport via the bat (et.al) however the bat will not give me the 'option' to accept their expired certificate so the process does not get past the server handshake:
>5.19.2006, 14:34:43: IMAP - Certificate S/N: 3EA6D5, algorithm: RSA (512 >bits), issued from 29 Sep 2004 to 29 Sep 2005, for 1 host(s): mail.pochta.ru. >5.19.2006, 14:34:43: IMAP - Owner: RU, Moscow, Moscow, OOO RBC-Center, POCHTA, >mail.pochta.ru, [EMAIL PROTECTED] >5.19.2006, 14:34:43: IMAP - Issuer: ZA, Western Cape, Cape Town, Thawte >Consulting cc, Certification Services Division, Thawte Server CA, [EMAIL >PROTECTED] !5.19.2006, 14:34:43: IMAP - TLS handshake failure. Invalid server certificate (This certificate has expired). !5.19.2006, 14:34:43: IMAP - Could not connect to the server I would rather have the decision on this instead of the bat making it for me. I would like to see an option available to accept or reject an authentication certificate when one is encountered. Personally I rather dread the day when the Internet is completely controlled by certificates for 'our' safety. While it still isn't a law can we have the option and elect to just take our chances like men. Thanks, -- C.K.
