I've been trying to set up isync or mailsync, and have run into the following issue: When setting up a secure connection, both of them (in my limited understanding) want to verify the certificate received from the imap server against a trusted certificate. Mailsync seems to look for such a trusted certificate in a hardcoded location, whereas isync needs me to specify the CertificateFile parameter in its configuration. I can't seem to find where these certificates are supposed to be stored. I've found a number of helpful documents on _generating_ certificates (for use by people setting up servers), but I'm interested strictly in the client end for now. Also, old documentation suggests that installing the openssl port sets up such a directory, but now that OpenSSH is in the base system I assume that is not necessary. So is there a standard location for trusted certificates? or does each application keep its own information? Thanks, Ian Who is learning a fair bit about ssl in the process, which is a good thing -- Ian D. Leroux ian_leroux@fastmail.fm
