This page was created in March, they provided all the data in February 
based on the scarse documentation we could point them too. You can't 
blame them for not following guidelines that didn't exist, especially if 
you haven't informed them personally of a process change after they 
provided the requested information.

FNMT has emailed gerv asking if they should open a separate bug or not 
asking if we needed more information and if they were following the 
right process. They didn't get any response that's why I attached the 
files they had sent to the bug.

I understand that there is a long backlog, that everybody is busy and 
that other CA are much more active on bugzilla than FNMT , but saying 
that they did it incorrectly while we had no clear process to follow and 
ignored their email is not correct, we definitely have our own wrongs on 
this issue (and probably other CAs).

Fact is that a bug is open, that FNMT has contacted Mozilla Foundation 
directly both by email and in the bug, they provided the information we 
were asking and are waiting for us to get back to them with a yes or no 
answer.

I am a Mozilla Corp. employee and a Mozilla Europe board member, Gerv 
that they contacted by email is a Mozilla Foundation employee and has 
been visible as the mozilla CA guy in Europe for a long time. Are you 
telling me that Cristina not creating the attachment herself but asking 
for help to European mozilla employees is not communicating with Mozilla?

Should I draw the conclusion from your comments that you are now the new 
person in charge of certificates for Mozilla Foundation replacing Gerv?

I'd say that all of these informations are provided into the 200 pages 
document provided by FNMT, if you think that some data is missing, 
incomplete or that they haven't provided enough information on specific 
points, it should have been mentioned in the bug so as that they can act 
upon it IMO. It is also not clear to me what FNMT has to do to go from 
bug 408008 to the above URL.

Sure, here are the documents they have linked in their .doc explaining 
the audit and certificate policy:

That's the email they used yes, so that would be an email address ending 
in @fnmt.es sent in february or maybe march.

Cristina contacted me in April (and actually sent emails to all european 
addresses she could find) for help:
"Hola , me comentan mis responsables que hace un mes ya os pasaron los 
datos que nos solcitásteis a la dirección [EMAIL PROTECTED] sin 
respuesta. No sabemos si lo recibísteis o si nosotros hemos sido los que 
no hemos recibido vuestra respuesta.
Te adjunto los datos solicitados, por favor guíame si puedes los pasos 
que debemos dar para que se pueda incluir.
Os estoy escribiendo a  varios contactos para poder incluir el 
certificado pero no conseguimos avanzar.
Yo soy el contacto de la FNMT con vosotros así que cualquier cosa me la 
puedes comentar.
Gracias"

probably in your spam box :)

Building certificate trusted chain problem

2009-02-04 Thread Vidal Pascal

Hello,

i look for some information about firefox and the building trusted chain
mecanism. I have a certificate containing two URL in the AIA extension:

1) p7c files containing cross-certificates
2) OCSP URL

I made a two PKI domain cross-certified with each one. I tried to verify the
identity of a website in the domain A and just add the CA of the domain B in
my keystore. With IE 6&7 it worked: CA B verified certificate A.

Problem: When i tried this with firefox, there is a warning which informs me
that the CA issuer isn't trusted.

Do you have any idea to solve this problem or there is any module to add?

Best regards,

Pascal


Firefox 3.0.5
NSS 3.12
Windows XP/Vista
Linux Fedora 10 x64

Re: How to imoprt a p7c files into firefox?

2009-02-05 Thread Vidal Pascal

Hi,

thank you for your reply. In fact, i have a certificate containing a AIA
extension. In this extension, there is the URL of my .p7c files which
includes 3 certificates. These certificates are required to build the
trusted chain.

I explain:

I have two PKI domains : A and B.

A server in the domain A, server A, is in SSL mode. Its certificate contains
the AIA extension like i said at the beginning of the post.

A user in the domain B, user B, has its own CA root certificate, CA root B,
in his certificates store. The p7c files provides, to the navigator, the
cross-certificates to build the certification chain.

>If you expect NSS to fetch chained certificates through Internet 
>download than it is correct that Firefox doesn't do that.

How can I do that? Could you advise me?

Best regards,

Pascal

Re: How to imoprt a p7c files into firefox?

2009-02-06 Thread Vidal Pascal

Hi,

>Include all the certificates which chain from the original end-user 
>certificate into the PKCS7 file. Firefox should import them happily.

I agree with you, that's i've done. In fact, the problem is:

EE certificate contains an AIA extension which indicates a p7c file. 
In this p7c file, there is a cross-certificate which also contains an AIA
extension with the URL of an another p7c files. 
In this p7c file, there is the second cross-certificate and the user, which
receives the EE certificate, can validate the certificate with its own CA
Root.

Is it possible to do that with Firefox?

>If you expect NSS to fetch chained certificates through Internet
>download than it is correct that Firefox doesn't do that. 

Is there any button or configuration in Firefox to do that?

Best regards,

Pascal

I don't really understand what's the matter This CA has obtained ETSI
TS 102042 certification from LSTI. I've found the information at
http://www.lsti-certification.fr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=55&Itemid=15
This company has an agreement from COFRAC the official french
committee of accreditation.
The COFRAC has published an audit guide for CA audits. So, I suppose
that these auditors have done their job according to this guide which
is in my opinion very exhaustive.
So I wonder why some people here want to investigate so deeply...
