Hello,

I recently went to GoDaddy and created myself a new client SSL
certificate.  During the process Firefox generated a new key pair, the
GoDaddy application issued the certificate and Firefox installed it
automatically (after asking me) into the NSS database.

Can anybody provide any pointers as to how exactly these things
happen?  Particularly, I am interested in how the web application
instructs Firefox to generate a new key pair, who generates the
certificate requests, how the request is returned to the CA to sign it
and how the application instructs Firefox to install the new
certificate (along with the private key) into the NSS database.

Regards,
Peter Djalaliev
