2011-04-02 (JC) https://cats.cacert.org gluck gehabt? Ich kann mich verbinden mit meiner Zertifikat, eine Sprache auswaehlen (EN/DE), aber immer mit "Login", ich bekomme die Fehlermeldung "Loginvorgang fehlgeschlagen". Es scheint zu mir alle Roots sind richtig importiert worden...

Anmelden bei CACert mit meine Zertifikat funktioniert. Ich hab's schon WinXP, Win7, FireFox 4, IE 9 probiert, ohne erfolg.

I guess I now know the problem... And Class 1 certificates won't work anymore either, so I'll raise the priority!

Taken from Ticket s20110403.66

I wanted to do the CATS test but can't login.
Error message is "Login failed" (see Screenshot attached).
I have generated the client certificate and installed it in my browser.
I CAN login at the CACert site with my client cert (without password).
I can also login at the blog and the wiki with my client cert.

I have tried different variations of the client cert:
  - Class 1, Class 3
  - No Name, Include 'Ludwig Weinzierl'
  - Single Sign On ID, Add Single Sign On ID Information

I have tried it with Firefox and Chrome on OSX Snow Leopard, and Firefox
3.6.16 and Chromium 10.0.648.133 (77742) on Ubuntu 10.10.

A friend has exactly the same problem with Safari and Firefox an OSX
Snow Leopard.

In addition
I sat down with the person who set up the CA for our company and we
tried it with IE 7 and Firefox 3.6. Three people have tried on four
different machines with 9 (!) different browser versions - to no avail.

I'm now 100% percent sure cats.cacert.org is broken.

Maybe it's not broken for everyone, maybe it's a language bug or
something, but its definitely broken for a lot of people.

If I can be of any help to pin this problem down please contact me.

Just patched the production system, the bug should be fixed now (svn revision 2203), I'm waiting for confirmation by someone affected.
