Package: cone
Version: 0.74-2+b1
Severity: normal
If you try to make an SSL connection from a new cone installation you
get a message which says
Unable to initialize an encrypted connection because root authority
certificates are not installed.
I found it very hard to figure out how to install the certificates.
One confusing thing was that the package ships with many certs in
/usr/share/cone/rootcerts, but they aren't enabled by default.
Eventually I found the answer by using the source code. You've got to
set TLS_TRUSTCERTS in the environment. A little more digging revealed
that this would normally be done by a setting in the configuration
file /etc/cone.
I couldn't find mention of /etc/cone anywhere in the distributed package.
I'd like to suggest that either /etc/cone.dist be shipped as /etc/cone
instead, or that a README.Debian be included which mentions /etc/cone.
Thanks.
