The external dependency makes it very hard. This has certainly to do with the right Mozilla/Firefox profile that has not been found. Selecting the proper profile should be improved in OOo. However, this idea was postponed because of lack of resources. Integrating PKI into OOo is interesting but I would still rely on external libraries for signature and certificate validation. Since this is a sensible area it needs a great deal of time to maintain this particular code in terms of security and compliance to specifications, such as RFC3280, ISIS-MTT. I do not want to put you off but currently there is no one available (who I know of) who could spend time on this. Nevertheless, you could start a discussion on [email protected] with regard to integrating PKI in OOo. This may be the place to find other developers who are willing to contribute. But do not underestimate the effort for creating a feature specification and GUI. If you are interested in helping with the current implementation, there come two things to mind: 1. Help for selecting the right Mozilla profile (Unix). For example, when the user wants to sign a document or receives a signed document for the first time, he could be asked by a dialog to select the proper profile. The profile should also be selectable in the options. 2. We are using an older version of libxmlsec which contains a lot of bugfixes. To migrate to using the latest version, it is necessary to -evaluate every fix made -confer with the owner of libxmlsec if the fix can be integrated there -if not apply the fix in the latest version. I assume that this alone could cost a couple of weeks.
