Hi Stefan,
I am assuming that the signed XML file contains the X.509 certificate
data in base-64 format.
I also assume that you can extract the base-64 certificate data from the
XML file.
Given the base-64 X.509 certificate data, you can show the certificate
using the Firefox certificate viewer as follows:
function showX509Base64Cert(/* string */ aBase64CertData)
{
// Note: This is Mozilla application (FF, TB, SM etc,) specific code
- will not work on IE, Safari, Chrome.
// Un-comment the 'netscape.security....' line if you are using
this function in a dowloaded html/js file.
// Also, set the 'signed.applets.codebase_principal_support'
preferece to true (using about:config)
//
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege('UniversalXPConnect');
// Obtain the reference to X.509 Certificate DB
var /* nsIX509CertDB */ x509CertDB =
Components.classes["@mozilla.org/security/x509certdb;1"]
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIX509CertDB);
// Use the Base-64 certificate data to get nsIX509Cert reference
// For more info :
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/security/manager/ssl/public/nsIX509CertDB.idl#298
var /* nsIX509Cert */ x509Cert =
x509CertDB.constructX509FromBase64(aBase64CertData);
// show the cert using Certificate dialog
// For more info:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/security/manager/ssl/public/nsICertificateDialogs.idl
var cd = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/nsCertificateDialogs;1"]
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsICertificateDialogs);
cd.viewCert(window, x509Cert);
}

Hello everybody,
I am wondering how can I show a X509Certificate with javascript or
something like that in the Firefox certificate window?
Is this possible with window.crypto?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Stefan Jordanov
May be I have mistaken the group. People if so, please let me know.

Hi, Stefan
What exactly are you trying to do?
PSM defines a number of XUL interfaces you can use: nsIX509Cert,
nsIX509Cert2, nsIX509Cert3. It looks like they are all scriptable, so you
can access them through JavaScript.
Where do you want to get a certificate from and where do you want to display
it? Are you working from within a Firefox extension or something else...
Please, provide more information.
Regards,
Hello,
Thank ypu for your answers. I am traying to get the certificate from a
signed xml file. I have a xslt transformation attached to the signed
xml. I would like to have a link on the transformed html file. Whe
someone click on the link I would like to popup the Firefox
certificate viewer.
Again thank you all.
