Here is a follow-up to the original message:
- I forgot tomention, the "KeyManager" extension only works on Windows
and Linux.
If there is interest, I may be able to create a version for SUN-Solaris.
- addson.mozilla.org changed their policy - the extension is now
publicly available. You do not have to regsiter to download the extension.
Here is direct the URL for the extension page:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4471
Still, please write review if you use the extension and give
comments using the discussion link on the extension page.
- if you are not really keen on learning Mozilla-NSS command line
utilities, such as certutil, pk12util, signtool etc., if you can use
this extension to do the same tasks. It presents XUL based forms for
various parameters.

Thanks,
