Reduce notifications about unknown cert.
-
Hello!
When traveling, one often encounters captive WiFi portals (Deutsche Bahn mostly, in my case). Because these often somehow provide their own custom certificate, DAVdroid correctly produces a warning notification about this.
I'm not sure whether it's just me, but that notification can not be swiped away. I have to click on in, scroll down and click "Reject" to make it go away. Of course, I never want to accept such a cert for one of the calendars or contact syncs that I have configured in DAVdroid.
I wonder whether this could be automated somehow. Maybe with a general setting like "silently reject unknown cert's", which might also require a special settings entry like "review rejected cert's"? Or with a UX change to enable swiping such a notification away?

I would like to request the same enhancement.
If I am on public wifis with a "Captive Portal" for login, I always get the notification that I explicitly need to open and reject the certificate.Can you make the notifications reject by swiping them away?

Thanks for your suggestions.
Certificate notifications have been improved (cert4android/96ec2b6f)
- don't remove notification on timeout (it's better to have a useless captive WiFi notification than potentially not being notified about a change in your own server's certificate, e.g. LetsEncrypt)
- show certificate subject in notification sub-text (see screenshot)
- reject certificate temporarily when notification is swiped out
- show toast when certificate is rejected temporarily (= until the DAVdroid process is killed or certificates are reset in DAVdroid settings)

Awesome work, thanks so much! I just send you some money via PayPal as a small thanks.
