That's not quite right. They are 3 strings of zero or more alphabetic characters, separated by commas. > What are these 3 comma separated characters and where can I find more > info about them? An explanation of the alphabetic characters may be found on mozilla's web site at http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/tools/certutil.html#1034193 or at http://blogs.sun.com/meena/entry/notes_about_trust_flags > Also, does this method add the certificate to the database of the current > firefox profile (I am using firefox.exe -app to launch my app)? The cert is added to the cert DB in whatever profile is open by the process in which the XPCOM function is invoked. -- dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
