2007-12-07 Thread Steffen Schulz
Hi all, I was hoping for some feedback on bug 405155, which adds support for TLS-SRP. Are the core devs that busy right now? (I also thought subscribing to this list would enable me to follow the current development around nss/psm. Do you just use bugzilla?) regards, steffen -- Bildet

Testing DSA ciphersuites..

2007-08-23 Thread Steffen Schulz
Hi, I want to test DSA ciphersuites, but 'server' and 'selfsrv' seem to be unable to handle them. I changed the source to enable some TLS-DSA suites but it seems the ssl library is not being supplied with a valid certificate. I created the dsa certificates with: openssl pkcs12 -export -in

Hi all, I'm currently implementing draft-ietf-tls-srp-13 in NSS/SSL. I did not find suitable test programs. I mean something like openssl or gnutls-cli. It seems I would have to dig through the test shell scripts and programming examples to find or program such a tool and make it find the nss
