Re: Installation of CA Certificates

 The Setup:  I created a new CA certificate signed by root on my Linux box
 and exported as a DER for the purpose of configuring SSL encrypted POP3
 services from a RedHat v7.2 Server to Win9x workstations.
 
 The Problem:  Installation of the CA certificate into IE 5.0 was painless,
 and allowed MS-Outlook Express to retrieve POP3 mail over the SSL link w/o
 problems.  Installation of the CA certificate into NetScape v6.2 appeared to
 work (requisite dialog boxes opened up) but the certificate is not showing
 up in the Certificate Manager and all SSL connections to the POP3 server
 from NetScape fail to connect.
 
 Any ideas?  My installation technique consisted of a one-liner html file
 that pointed the browser at the CA certificate.  I have the NSS certutils
 available; however, they shouldn't be necessary for this application, right?
 
 Thanks for the assist.

Scott,

Am I correct in believing there was no http server involved?  
You simply used a file:/// URL to read the cert file??

What version of windows are you using?  

Finally, does the CA cert show up in N6's cert manager under web sites ??

(Please continue to post followup messages to this newsgroup.  Thanks)

 First time browsing this list so apologies if this has already been noted.
 
 Using nss-3.3 precompiled Linux binaries cmsutil did not produce 
 verifiable signitures when the entity was piped in via STDIN. However, 
 when using the -i switch the signiture verifies correctly.
 
 Tested using signver, MS Outlook and Mozilla 0.9.5.

Please see the bug at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95262.
There is a fixed smime perl script attached. Try it and see if it works 
for you. It's not checked in to any version of NSS yet as some other 
issues remain.

Correct.  There was no web server active, just pointed Mozilla at the file
and loaded it.

Win98 SE

Nope.
