Pidgin & MSN (certificate error for omega.contacts.msn.com)
Last week, Microsoft changed its omega.contacts.msn.com certificate. This gives you a login error with an already configured Pidgin IM client. Execute the following steps to fix this error:
- Download the following file: http://files.andreineculau.com/projects/pidgin/omega.contacts.msn.com.2.txt
- Move it to “.purple/certificates/x509/tls_peers/”.
- Rename the file to “omega.contact.msn.com”.
- Restart Pidgin.
