That's your firefox profile. You're not running signtool while FireFox is running, right? > signtool: function failed: An I/O error occurred during security > authorization. "security authorization" means "getting your password". That's what this error code was originally about. Unfortunately, in more recent NSS releases, that error code has become "overloaded" with another meaning, the failure of a PKCS#11 module to perform any operation. IMO, NSS really needs a new separate error code, something like "PKCS#11 module failed", to disambiguate this in the future.

Only a PKCS12 file (.p12 or .pfx) can restore your private key. > Still the same error message. :( > > What should I do? Does your key3.db file now contain the private key for your cert? Is your cert an object signing cert? Or merely code signing? -- Nelson B _______________________________________________ dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
