VLC 0.9.4 Https Gnu TLS Error
Posted: 24 Oct 2008 01:49
The 0.86 Version and below had a preference for
Advanced >Gnu TLS> Ignore invalid certificate
and
Advanced >Gnu TLS> Ignore Host verification
These seem to be missing in the new version 0.9.x
This produces the error
similar to this thread on the Linux side
VideoLan for Linux Thread
(Though I do not have a problem in the current distribution for Ubuntu)
However I don't exactly understand whether I can put a copy of my self-signed cert (cem?) into
~/Library/Preferences/VLC/ssl/private/ or thereabouts...
and have it just work
In my case
I have the apache server set so that I can reach it across the LAN or even via WAN with the host verifying, but certainly I am not a Root certificate owner or producer.
(i,e, I can make my own certs thanks)
To have to reach each client and install the proper "fix" seems much more hassle than simply having the users disable the the root authority checking in the client application Preferences.
it seems that support is in the GnuTLS API
as seen here
