Hi - I need help with a certificate problem. I am using SSL to connect to an HTTPS server for file download, and that server is using a self-signed certificate.

The error on download is:
An error occurred when trying to download the server file. Server ID: myserver: An error occurred while trying to open the HTTP file. (3611)
[01/18/2008 11:08:38] Error The certificate authority is invalid or incorrect

I am assuming that since the server certificate is self-signed TrueUpdate cannot find a valid certificate chain for the signer.

In my applications I am able to utilize a keystore with the signer's certificate in it to deal with this problem (in the Java jre it is "cacerts" file). A browser has a warning dialog that allows you to accept the certificate, but how can I tell TrueUpdate to accept this certificate?

Is there a keystore somewhere or a setting that I can use to establish the certificate authority chain? Is there somewhere I can import the self-signed cert into?

There was a post in the TrueUpdate 2.0 Forum on 11-03-2005 between Nagesh and Mark, but no resolution posted.

Thanks -
Nancy

Hi RushNL,

Currently there is no way to tell TrueUpdate 3.0 to automatically accept this certificate. There may be a was that we could use a built-in dialog to let the end user choose to accept the certificate or not?

Would this be something you are interested in testing for us? If so please send me an email: mark@indigorose.com
