Pidgin MSN SSL Sertifika Sorunu Unable to validate certificate

İnternette birçok çözüm yolu gördüm. En basiti ve işe yarayanı bu;

For the last two days, users using Pidgin to connect to MSN, have been faced with an error telling them “unable to validate certificate” when trying to connect to MSN.

This is due to the fact that Microsoft has made some changes (I am not really sure what or why) and can be solved as follows:

1) Download “omega.contacts.msn.com” certificate
2) Open Pidgin and go to “Tools > Certificates”
3) Select “omega.contacts.msn.com” from the list and press “Delete”
4) Press “Add” and browse to and select the certificate you downloaded on step 1
5) When prompted to enter the hostname, enter “omega.contacts.msn.com”

That’s it!
