We had a support case were it turned out the cause of an S/MIME certificates "invalid" status was a missing proxy setting.
To make it easier to debug this kind of issue in the future, we would like to add a test in Kleopatra to check the connectivity.
There are several options for this:Edited on 2025-05-14 (removed alternate options, expanded on chosen one)
Please add the test to the self-tests, but only as optional test, which would have to be checked at the bottom of the window to include it.
Put the option "Include online check" with default 'no check mark' below "Show all test results".
Tests should be
# An action "Check connectivity" in the Tools menu. This could check connectivity by trying to reach versions.gnupg.org
# Add the test to the self-tests, but only as optional test, which would have to be checked at the bottom of the window to include it.- check if AD can be reached
# Add a command for it in the drop down of the command line tool "GnuPG Configuration Overview" in Kleopatra (which we should rename btw)- check if LDAP can be reached
- check if version.gnupg.org can be reached (probably by executing "gpgconf --query-swdb gpg4win")
