SSL Negotiation Failed
Ricky Northcott
Today tried to download some e-mails from my account, but Eudora throws up
the following errors...
1) 'Unknown certificate chain validation error: Code(0)
But ignoring this error because Certificate is trusted
Certificate bad: Destination Host name does not match host name in
certificate'
2) 'Certificate bad: Destination Host name does not match host name in
certificate
Server Certificate : Verified OK'
The only thing I can think why this may have happened, is when I tried to
tweak some setting in the network connection boxes.
But why it should only affect Eudora..?
Have tried to return the computer to its previous state & even reinstall the
program, but the same error keeps on popping up.
Also have tried to look at Eudora own FAQ's, but the only one that comes
near talks about adding the certificate to its trusted folder or contacting
the owner (cerificate runs out 03/08/2004).
For now I've alter the options to 'Never' (mail server,secure socket when
receiving).
O/S: Windows XP Home
E-mail Program: Eudora 6.1.1
Please reply with any thought on this matter.
Thanks
Ricky

So, what name is the cert for?
What site is serving up that cert?
Any chance your ISP has changed servers, etc?

Have a look at this article;

If this is the one you've already seen, what it states is mainly correct,
i.e. you might have to contact your provider to set their certificate
correctly. However you could have a look at the cert for the host name the
certificate is set to. Try changing to this host as the incoming mail
server, even if this is another host than your ISP has told you to use.

Your email provider could have changed something on the server, like
installed a (new) SSL certificate, but didn't set the host name correctly,
which is actually quite common in my experience :/

Yes, this should remove the error, but ofcourse you're now not using SSL
encryption and sending passwords in plain text.
hope this helps,

The only thing I can add to this problem is as follows:
Have taken a look at the certificates & the only one that seems to worry me
is the one for CerticomA, which says there is something worry with the
integrity.
I would delete this certificate if eudroa would let me, but it is blocked
off.
Wondering if a fresh install may cure this, seeing that reinstalling does
not seem to work...?
It may come to me looking for another program, but must of what I require
from an e-mail program is filled by Eudroa.
Will just have to leave it at never until an update comes out.
