Here is the code I use to pick up certificate :
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect");
var cert;
var picker =
Components.classes["@mozilla.org/user_cert_picker;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIUserCertPicker);
var canceled = {value:0};
cert = picker.pickByUsage(window,"",4,false, false, canceled);
alert(cert.nickname);
But this code works only when the code is loaded from the local
filesystem.
To use the code for a web application you need to sign the javascript
with signtool 1.3. But I can't do that despite my efforts...
Anyone can do that???
Thanks,
Rodrigue
