[alsa-devel] Invalid TLS certificate for mailman.alsa-project.org

[Antonio Ospite]

Hi,

when logging in to mailman.alsa-project.org[1] to change my subscription
options I noticed that the TLS certificate used for HTTPS
connections does not cover said domain, firefox says:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
mailman.alsa-project.org uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is only valid for the following names:
alsa-project.org, alsa0.perex.cz, bugtrack.alsa-project.org,
git.alsa-project.org, mail.alsa-project.org, www.alsa-project.org

Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Basically, mailman.alsa-project.org is not in Subject Alternative Names
for the certificate.

This is not a huge deal as:

  1. mail.alsa-project.org works fine with HTTPS;
  2. the password is sent by email in the monthly reminder anyways.

However it would still be handy to have this fixed as
mailman.alsa-project.org URLs are used in the Wiki[2] pages and in the
footer of messages coming from the mailing list, and it can be
surprising for users that HTTPS does not work.

Thank you,
   Antonio
