I'm new to the Netscape/Firefox/Mozilla platform and I've been tasked with providing a programmatic method for our customers to use to install client certificates. I'm looking for suggestions on how to approach a solution. Java applet? Extension? Plug-in?
None of the above. The functionality is built right in to the browser. A simple HTML is all that is needed to get the browser to generate a Certificate signing request, and another simple "page" (er, MIME content type) is all that's needed to download the user's new cert chain. This functionality is all inherited from the older Netscape browsers, and much of the original Netscape documentation on this subject still applies. Look at http://wp.netscape.com/eng/security/comm4-keygen.html http://wp.netscape.com/eng/security/comm4-cert-download.html You can ask more questions here. -- Nelson B _______________________________________________ Mozilla-security mailing list [email protected] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-security
