Re: Root certificates

[Anders Feder]

Just for the record, I had to contact Stephane Saux of Netscape who 
coordinates the Root CA Program. It turns out that Netscape charge an 
insane fee of $150.000 per included root certificate. For what, I don't 
know but it means that TDC expect only to see their certificate included 
in browsers like Internet Explorer and Opera. As Mozilla users we will 
have to install it manually. So much for "open".

Hi,

TDC Internet, a Danish telecom company, recently won a government 
contract to provide all Danish citizens with a digital signature. They 
have shown interest in cooperating with the Open Source community in 
order to make their solution work on Linux and BSD as well.

One of the things that has come up is browser support for their root 
certificate. Can somebody please explain what the standard procedure for 
adding root certificates to Mozillas default certificate database is?

Thanks.
