I have been generating ECC based X509 certificates
using OpenSSL 0.9.8.

When I try to install the certificates in Firefox or
thunderbird or mozilla it only shows up as a "Status
Responder Certificate" rather than a "SSL Certificate
Authority" certificate. Consequently client
certificates signed by the CA also do not install as
"Your Certificates" but would only install in "Other
Websites" and woudl no be usable for S/MIME as such
for which they were generated.

I even tried certificates generated using the ECC
Certification Authority at
http://www.secg.org/?action=secg,project_ca issued
certificates but the same thing happens.

We have NSS 3.9 and have enabled the ECC in the build.

RSA based certificates install with no such issues in
teh same set up.

Could any one please advise.

Best regards.
