Detect SSL client authentication

The nsIWebProgressListener interface includes the onSecurityChange method which indicates whether a connection is secured. However it doesn't distinguish between server authentication and client authentication. Is there a way to check whether client authentication was performed? Thanks in advance

Importing client SSL certificate onto external PKCS#11 token

Hi, I have added an external PKCS#11 token via Device Manager in Firefox 3.6.15. I then import a PKCS#12 file containing a client SSL key and certificate signed by a trusted CA, specifying the external token as the key and certificate store. The import is successful however when I attempt to acce

Thanks, guess I have to implement a similar function in my code then? Bit of a shame it is not being exported for public consumption. I imagine its usage would be quite common, no? Cheers, James Konstantin Andreev-2 wrote: > > This is an ancient [bug 294538], six years (sic!) old. > > CERT_A

Link error on CERT_AddExtensionByOID

Hi, I wish to call CERT_AddExtensionByOID() in my application. However I get "error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _CERT_AddExtensionByOID" when building the application. Calling CERT_AddExtension() is okay. I'm using the NSS-3.12.6_NSPR-4.8.4 package. Am I missing something? Many thanks.

Re: How to refresh Firefox keystore

Apologies. The connection error was due to sec_error_invalid_key. Setting the right key usage when importing the private key fixed it. Thanks again everyone for your help and suggestions. Truly appreciated. James -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/How-to-refresh-Firefox-ke

Re: How to refresh Firefox keystore

Re: How to refresh Firefox keystore

I'm importing the key pair into the browser's soft token. I can see that the cert8.db and key3.db files in the profile directory are updated and I can also see the new certificate using certutil.exe -L. However when attempting to connect to a website that requires client SSL authentication in th

How to refresh Firefox keystore

Hi, I have an applet that uses JSS to import an RSA keypair into Firefox's keystore, as per the following code. CryptoManager.initialize("C:\Users\James\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\y78kp7l6.default"); CryptoManager manager = CryptoManager.getInstance();

Re: Generation of key pair and CSR

Hi, I would like to create a plug-in for Firefox that, when invoked, generates a new key in the Firefox key/certificate store. Is it possible to generate a new keypair in using NSS from the plug-in, or do I need to somehow call crypto.generateCRMF() via javascript from the plug-in? Thanks in adv
