Perhaps Nelson, Kai or one of the other NSS people know how to extract the trust bits which were set for NSS. However if you only need the CA certificates - similar to a ca-bundle - then you should be OK already with what you have. -- Regards Signer: Eddy Nigg, StartCom Ltd. Jabber:

Dear All, I was trying to create the CA store using the buildin CA certificates in libnssckbi library. I was extracting the certificate from the module using the following code snippet. cert_list = PK11_ListCertsInSlot(slot); for(cert_node = CERT_LIST_HEAD(cert_list); !CERT_LIST_
