[Bug 584027] [NEW] Kmail silently rejects S/MIME Certificate

[bmhm]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdepim

Scenario:
Adding an S/MIME cert to an identity. Clicking "modify", select a certificate.


What I expect to happen:
The certificate can be used or is being declined due a specific reason.


What happens instead:
When trying to add an S/MIME Certificate to KMail, it just rejects my certificate when clicking on it. See the screenshot: a red cross appears next to the certificate information. No other information why I cannot use this certificate is given.

I enabled debugging in crypto modules and started kmail with  --nofork,
but kmail doesn't give me any clue why my certificate is being rejected.


Additional information:
* S/MIME module is loaded
* Kleopatra is up and running
* Certificate is valid, complete trust chain imported. Issuer: CACert.org
* None of these does work: 2048 bit, 1024 bit, Single Mail adress, multiple aliases on certificate
* gpgsm knows my private and public certificate
* E-Mail address matches mine.
* CN matches my name.


Even if I do sth wrong, I expect kmail to be more user friendly by giving more feedback ("you cannot use this certificate, because <reason(s)>").

Regards,
Ben
