Hello,
Is it possible to use new versions of mozilla/firefox with the windows
cryptoapi? My company uses a proprietary product for certificate
management, preventing me to import them into firefox. I can only
access the certificates through the cryptoapi :( and hope to be able to
continue using firefox.
Because mozilla/firefox is a cross platform product, we it doesn't use
proprietary interfaces (CAPI isn't available on the mac, or instance).
Most vendors provide PKCS #11 modules as well as capi modules. PKCS #11
(also known as cryptoki) is an industry standard for pluggable crypto.
Mozilla and firefox support this interface.
There exists a cryptoapi provider that turns (almost) any PKCS11 module
into a cryptoapi provider. It should be possible to write a PKCS11
module that turns (almost) any cryptoapi provider into a PKCS11 module,
but I'm not aware of any such implementation at the time of this writing.
Maybe someone will contribute such a thing, or be willing to pay a
developer to develop such a thing. Or maybe someone knows of one and
will tell us all about it.
