Hi,
Given that my PKCS 12 file doesn't contain any 'friendlyName'
attribute in it,
nor my certificate DB doesn't have any certificate which has the same
subject name with my PKCS12.
If I use Firefox to import my PKCS 12 file, the nickname would become
"Imported Certificate # N",
(By using certutil -L -d path to find out)
On the other hand,
if I use pk12util or Chromium to do that, it would show 'Certificate
name' - 'Orginazation Name' .
So my first question is why Firefox uses this 'Imported Certificate #
N' pattern ?
Digging throught Bugzilla, this pattern is done in
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94499
And it was quite a long time ago.
Although currently Firefox doesn't display nickname to users in PSM,
but in the near future, FirefoxOS (B2G) will need to display this
(nickname) to the user,
and also pass this information to other components
(A use case will be like Wifi for WPA/EAP, user is going to import the
certificate, and choose the imported
certificate by nickname in Wifi Enterprise config.. etc)
Do you have any comment that we'd still keep this pattern (Imported
Certificate # N),
or any comment for creating a new default pattern which is more
user-friendly ?
Thanks
