Finally I can blog remotely

It took some time and effort to configure but now I found the time and annoyance to give it a try.

Well not quite. The gnome-blog-poster is way to simple. Anyway it works.

The annoyance today is about eclipse. I need eclipse integration with trac and it wasn't working on eclipse 3.4.

So I installed eclipse 3.5 which is the third installation of eclipse in 1 week time sigh. Enabled mylyn and downloaded the trac integration plugin.

So what happens when I connected to my https trac site ... a self signed error.

example.com uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because it is self signed.

(Error code: sec_error_untrusted_issuer)

But mylyn nicely collect the ticketlist but refuses to open the full ticket.

How is it possible to collect a list of task but not the task itself over an https connection?

Mind raving. Grrr.

Steps done (rough version) with java certificates. But the certificate stays invalid.

export the certificate with your browser

sudo keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias "trac.example.com" -file trac.example.com -keystore /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.13/jre/lib/security/cacerts

sudo keytool -list -keystore /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.13/jre/lib/security/cacerts

sudo keytool -delete -alias trac.example.com -keystore /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.13/jre/lib/security/cacerts
