I am trying to generate a certificate request for an EC key from Firefox 3.0.1 (downloaded from mozilla.org). A pop up (key generation?) appears briefly but quickly disappears. The Java error console contains the following message:
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMCrypto.generateCRMFRequest]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: https://localhost.localdomain:9443/ca/ee/ca/profileSelect?profileId=caECUserCert :: validate :: line 473" data: no] The page is executing a call to the generateCRMFRequest method. The call is: crmfObject = crypto.generateCRMFRequest( "CN=x", "regToken", "authenticator", null, "setCRMFRequest();", 256, "nistp256", "ec-dual-use"); Line 473 corresponds with the last line of the call. I have experimented with other values for the length (eg 1024, null) and for the name (null). I receive the same error in each case. The call successfully generates rsa keys when the last line is: 1024, null, "rsa-dual-use"), The web page performs server authentication using an EC certificate so the browser has some EC literacy. _______________________________________________ dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
