Pidgin gives me SSL errors when I try to log in. Sometimes it works, but most of the times it will suddenly kick me out of MSN saying that the SSL cert didn't match.

Anyone else having this problem?
Any fix for this?

same... its really annoying.

i had the same problem on archlinux a week or 2 ago seemed to be fixed now after the latest pidgin update .. maybe ask the maintainer to update the pidgin client to the latest version should fix the issue

this is the same problem i am pretty sure there is a temp solution for linux hope it helps

I mailed the maintainer but I didn't get a reply back...

This error is verry annoying

I have the same error in the last week, but I could connect sometimes during this period...

I think we have only pidgin as IM app with support for MSN, and I wouldn't like to connect using client from web...

>>>>
The certificate for omega.contacts.msn.com could not be validated.
The certificate.chain presented is invalid

I had the same problem with my desktop, should be the same solution. The certificate is expired and deleting the certificates (msn ones) from the options and let pidgin connect again (to download new certificates again).

I ve found a possible solution in other thread

As for MSN, there's a temporary certificate problem (if you're getting an SSL error, that is)
Go to /home/user/.purple/certificates/x509/tls_peers, and replace the contents of omega.contacts.msn.com with this

Pidgin has been updated
It works again.

Thanks to the maintainer!

EDIT: doesn't work my bad

Edit2: read below post

Noooooo
It still doesn't work....

Edit:
It seems to work for me now when I completely remove Pidgin from the N900,
then go to xterm and removing the certs:
after that, install Pidgin back again and it works! yay!

if only that worked
i've tried several times and after a day it gives ssl error again
