It can be viewed from a browser once you import the certificate you
obtain from pkg.sun.com/register.
Here's what you do:
openssl pkcs12 -export -in extras.certificate -inkey extras.key -out
extras.p12
Then, when prompted, choose a password to protect the new certificate
(or just press enter twice to not have one -- though that isn't
recommended).
Then, in FireFox:
1) go to edit -> preferences -> advanced -> encryption
2) click "View Certificates"
3) click "Your Certificates"
4) click "Import"
5) find and open extras.p12
6) enter the password for the certificate (just click ok if it doesn't
have one)
7) click ok, close the preferences dialog and cert manager, and you're done
Now you can access https://pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/extra/ (note the
slash at the end!). This conversion process is required because
browsers generally expect ssl certificates in a different format
(pkcs12) than they are commonly generated in (PEM-encoded).
You'll notice that FireFox will ask you every time you visit the site
which cert you want to use to authenticate. If you don't like that:
1) go to edit -> preferences -> advanced -> encryption
2) Under "When a server requests my personal certificate" click "Select
one automatically".
3) click close
Now it should only prompt you one more time (or not at all).
