Hey Folks, I'm once again confused about digital certificates (those things that allow emails to be signed and encrypted) and Mac OS X.
1. If I use mail from multiple computers, how do I put the same digital signature on my emails regardless of location? 2. Suppose I send a signed message to, say, Lee, from my machine at work. Lee then responds with an encrypted email. I can read the email at work, but because I don't have the certifications at home, I cannot read it at home. What I've tried already: What's the easiest way around this problem? A pointer to a web page would be fine. I searched on Google, but didn't hit on the right set of search terms, because I found nothing of use. I went back and read the oft?quoted source at http://www.joar.com/certificates All I found there was a reference: Q: I need to use my certificate on another machine. How do I export my certificate from my Keychain? A: Unfortunately the Keychain Access application currently (as of Mac OS X 10.3.2) doesn't know how to export a certificate into a portable format. The only workaround that I know of for this problem is to avoid downloading your certificates with Safari, and instead use Mozilla. Mozilla can export certificates into a format that can be imported into the Keychain. Unfortunately, when I first downloaded my certificates, I used Safari. So... this tip is a bit late for my situation. So... I logged in to Thawte, and clicked the button for me to fetch and install my two certificates (for 2 email addresses). No luck getting the digital sigs to work. Deleted both certificates from the keychain, and fetched them again. No luck. What am I messing up?
