Hi Mozilla/Firefox crypto people:
In Firefox 33 (and generally Mozilla toolkit apps, including
Thunderbird) on Windows, it appears that nss3.dll is folded and only a
subset of functions are exposed. See
<http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-beta/source/security/build/nss.def>.
Among the functions that are not exported are PK11_SetPublicKeyNickname
and PK11_SetPrivateKeyNickname. Removal of these functions causes
significant hardship for our code, because those are the only
abstraction-safe ways to do those things. Internally they call
PK11_SetObjectNickname but PK11_SetObjectNickname has not historically
been exported. Worse, these functions are still exported on Mac OS X and
Linux builds; it is rather crazy that there are basic functions that one
can do on some platforms but not all.
I have managed to cobble together a solution together for Windows, but
it involves having knowledge of the layout of PK11SlotInfoStr (to get
things like the slot and session variables) which has not been
considered "public": it is in secmodti.h.
Can these two functions please be added back to
mozilla/security/build/nss.def?
Thank you,
Sean
