Hello, everyone,
I am investigating the topic of trusted Firefox certificates in Ubuntu.
I would like to get your input in this.
We have a number of company-internal trusted SSL Certificate
Authorities. We are maintaining the certificates system-wide with the
use of the ca-certificates package and CFEngine. This solves a number of
problems and the fact that ca-certificates-java actually loads the
certificates from ca-certificates makes it much easier and seems a good
central point of management.
Now, when it comes to Firefox, the story is different. It seems Firefox
is only using its internal CA store so the only place to add trusted
authorities is in the user profile. No option to actually add
company-trusted CAs into any system location.
We used to create a default user profile for the first Firefox 3.6
release in Ubuntu Lucid, but since there was a number of updates and now
even Lucid is running Firefox 16 these no longer work, so I tried to
find if there is any update on this topic.
I found some effort from the RedHat guys on
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=546221 and it seems that
Fedora might have the solution in place, but according to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/543183 it seems
no such option exists for Ubuntu.
Do any of you have some solution/workaround for your environments for that?
Cheers,
Ballock
