I really think than simply supporting mode 2 (see http://wiki.mozilla.org/NSS_Shared_DB#Database_Upgrade) and not solving bug 391296 is sufficient for Firefox. Before the support for shared databases, people who had multiple application using non-shared db and a need to share certificates between them had to export them in pkcs#12 and reimport, and do it again each time they got a new certificate. With mode 2, those people have to do it again but only once at the time they do the merging between the db of two application, and never again after that. This is already a big improvement. I do not see the fact it could be done even better if bug 391296 were implemented, not requiring that manual step for the first merge, as a good reason to block that improvement. _______________________________________________ dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
