I want to syncronise my owncloud server with my new Ubuntu Phone. Therefore I would like to use syncevolution. The server uses a self signed certificate which I would have to add to my ca-certificates on the phone /usr/share/ca-certificate. But I get the message that it is a read only filesystem.
Can somebody help me with that issue?
According to the syncevolution doc, the location of the certificates used to authenticate the server is configurable through 'SSLServerCertificates' configuration property.
This property is set by the 'config.ini' files in the home directory:
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ grep -rIn SSLServerCertificates .config/syncevolution/
.config/syncevolution/default/peers/google-calendar-2/config.ini:# SSLServerCertificates = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt:/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt:/usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
.config/syncevolution/default/peers/google-contacts-2/config.ini:# SSLServerCertificates = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt:/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt:/usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
.config/syncevolution/google-calendar-2/peers/target-config/config.ini:# SSLServerCertificates = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt:/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt:/usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
.config/syncevolution/google-contacts-2/peers/target-config/config.ini:# SSLServerCertificates = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt:/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt:/usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
So, you can add or edit these configs to additionally point to some .crt in the home dir (which is writable).
SSLServerCertificates="/home/phablet/myserver.crt but I get this error First ERROR encountered: transport problem: REPORT 'meta data': Neon error code 1, no HTTP status: Server certificate verification failed: issuer is not trusted. The only way to come arround this error is to set SSLVerifyServer = 0 which seems to be no secure option.
