Pidgin MSN connection issues, invalid SSL Certificate chain
I recently had an issue with MSN under Pidgin on my 7-Stable system, and another user came up with a similiar issue under Gentoo GNU/Linux. The MSN account refused to login, sighting the following SSL Certificate related error in a popup:
Code:
'The certificate chain presented for contacts.msn.com is not valid.' Code:
(21:44:03) gnutls: Attempting to load X.509 certificate from /usr/home/Terry/.purple/certificates/x509/tls_peers/contacts.msn.com (21:44:03) certificate/x509/tls_cached: Peer cert did NOT match cached MSN works again for the time being, posted in case any other sap gets it.

Thanks for the info.
My solution to the same problem is different, though, if anyone is interested.

It seems like problem with retrieving the certificate at first time. Try switching to Http-method from MSN account options and log on once.. This worked for me, and as certificate is once received you should be able to switch back to normal mode.

deleting is not always works ,for some reason.
In some cases it's required to download certificate sourcefield.blogspot.com/2010/11/certificate-for-omegacontactsmsncom.html |

Another workaround I just discovered: Pidgin seems to refresh omega.contacts.msn.com periodically, but it arrives with CRLFs (DOS style). Running dos2unix on it and restarting pidgin fixed the problem for me.
