HTTPS certificate problem

Postby vk_dk » 03 Apr 2009 18:38

I'm trying to play a https stream with the latest (0.99) version for win32.
But I keep on getting the certificate errors.

I DID export and put the certificate to "C:\Documents and Settings\"username"\Application Data\vlc\ssl\certs" and inserted the file name in Preferences > Stream Output Access Output > HTTP > Root CA file.
However, I still get the following from the debug:

Code: Select all

main debug: connection succeeded (socket = 5628) main debug: requested server name: xxxx main debug: looking for tls client module: 1 candidate gnutls debug: GnuTLS v2.6.3 initialized gnutls debug: added x509 credentials (C:\Documents and Settings\xxx\Application Data\vlc/ssl/certs\xxx.crt) gnutls warning: cannot add x509 credentials (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt): No such file or directory main debug: using tls client module "gnutls" main debug: TIMER module_Need() : 51.000 ms - Total 51.000 ms / 1 intvls (Avg 51.000 ms) gnutls error: TLS session: access denied gnutls error: Certificate could not be verified gnutls error: Certificate's signer was not found main error: TLS client session handshake error gnutls debug: GnuTLS deinitialized main debug: removing module "gnutls" access_http error: cannot establish HTTP/TLS session main warning: no access module matching "https" could be loaded
It's a Cacert root certificate, perfectly accepted by Firefox and other apps :-(

Suggestions ?

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt Doesn't seem a correct folder...

You're absolutely right - I have no idea where did that come from, and what "ca-certificates-crt" file is!

It's a default setting of some kind of win32 versions.
