expanded backup section?

[Keith Bierman]

After tinkering around ... I may have gotten past the authorization, but
now have an sqlite issue

/Users/khb>/usr/local/opt/offlineimap/bin/offlineimap -q

OfflineIMAP 8.0.0

  Licensed under the GNU GPL v2 or any later version (with an OpenSSL
exception)

ERROR: Exceptions occurred during the run!

ERROR: While attempting to sync account 'Test'

           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


Changes I'd made to get this far:

#



remotehost = server87.web-hosting.com

remoteuser = Test at chnorthmetro.us

remotepass = $mysecret_obviously


and, while the comments made it clear a fingerprint was required, it didn't
make it explicit how to get it (and I misread it to believe the SHAxxx and
quote marks were required). Perhaps it is obvious to the expert user, but
the clue was in the error message, but I was too slow to catch it for quite
sometime.


Server SSL fingerprint(s) '[('openssl_sha512',

.  Please verify and set 'cert_fingerprint' accordingly if not set yet.


If  Examples:



# sha1 "bbfe29cf97acb204591edbafe0aa8c8f914287c9".



# sha1 with colons
"BB:FE:29:CF:97:AC:B2:04:59:1E:DB:AF:E0:AA:8C:8F:91:42:87:C9"


Had read

cert_fingerprint = bbfe29cf97acb204591edbafe0aa8c8f914287c9

cert_fingerprint =
BB:FE:29:CF:97:AC:B2:04:59:1E:DB:AF:E0:AA:8C:8F:91:42:87:C9


I would have gotten to the sqlite issue much faster ;>
