1.7.4 MAC Activation not working with Proxy

[Christian Gartz]

I got an error during the activation process. Code: 1 Error: <date> Error: curl perform error: Couldn't connect to Server <date> Error: An error occurred: CURL perform failed. Steps to reproduce: Install synergy-v1.7.4-stable-c734bab-MacOSX1010-x86_64.dmg on OS X 10.10.5. Launch Synergy for the first time. When greeted by the Activate window, enter your credential then press Next. Proxy settings are defined on system preferences -> Network -> Network Device -> Advanced -> Proxies (Auto Proxy Discovery and Web Proxy HTTP). Expected: Synergy Pro activation is successful all features are enabled. Actual: Synergy is unregistered. Version and operating system: MAC OS X 10.10.5 english Temporary workaround: Downgrade to 1.6.4 because synergy-v1.7.2-stable-728e9cd-MacOSX1010-x86_64.dmg had the same error. Regards, Christian

This is because your operating system does not trust the GoDaddy's root certificate. To fix that in Ubuntu, do these [code]wget --no-check-certificate "https://certs.godaddy.com/repository/gdroot-g2_cross.crt" sudo cp gdroot-g2_cross.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/gdroot-g2_cross.crt sudo update-ca-certificates [/code] You can use curl instead of wget to pull the file, obviously. If you are using another operating system, google how to add certificate to your server. e.g. [url]http://kb.kerio.com/product/kerio-connect/server-configuration/ssl-certificates/adding-trusted-root-certificates-to-the-server-1605.html[/url]
