Online Transactions - Sender Not Found

[Evan Van Dyke]

GnuCash used to report acceptable security certificates when importing online transactions, but lately I’ve been getting “Signer not found; certificate is not trusted” when trying to do an online import (from every source: chase, citi, others).

I’d like to try and understand why GnuCash stopped liking the provided certificates… and if there is a way to fix it.  The problem has been there with gnu cash 2.6.x for a while (currently on 19), and in 2.7.6 as well (tried it tonight just to see).  On Mac OS X, if that makes a difference.

Looking at 5th/3rd bank for instance, it seems like their OFX server (should) have a valid cert:
