Could you elaborate on this problem?
Kmail just popped a warning this morning about an invalid google certificate.
Kmail claims that "the root certificate is not valid for that purpose"
(whatever that means)…
I would like to know how to make sure whether it is safe to accept the
certificate or not.
My employer's gateway may be providing a fake certificate to monitor the SSL
communication but I don't know how to tell if the certificate was rewritten by
the legitimate gateway or by a rogue third party or if google messed up.
Thanks,
Frederic
