Openssl certs in Evolution

[Dan Alderman]

Hi,

I seem to have an issue with Evolution and loading my self generated CA
certificate so I can verify against a secure postfix server.  This is
what I did:

The server is a Woody + Backports Postfix, the client is Evolution from
Ubuntu.

On the server I created a Certificate Authority by using the command 

[server]$ CA.pl -newca

in /etc/ssl

after editing /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf to the right values for our local
setup.

I then created certificates for postfix and signed them using the
generated CA cert in the above steps.  Postfix appears to function fine
with them.

I then created the certificate to use with the applications with the
following command:

openssl x509 -in cacert.pem -out cacert.crt.

I have been able to import the cacert.crt into epiphany without any
problems, but I don't seem to be able to do this in Evolution.  When I
hit the import key, browse to the file and click OK nothing happens.

I have Postfix+TLS working fine, but it would be nice to stop Evo
complaining about bad signatures when connecting via SSL, I am assuming
this is because it doesn't recognise my self generated root authority as
it's not imported.  I am new to SSL certs and am finding this a little
confusing so please forgive me if I'm getting this totally wrong.

Thanks guys,

Dan.
