Hi all,
I'm trying to locate the key-pair generation code that is sent to the browser(s) for generating public-private key pair with the browser. From following the process on my machine with the 0.9.1.8 I found the perl script basic_csr that seems to be generating the required code. Is the actual javascript (or HTML) code for the process in a separate file that I could study?
First there are two types of browser-based keygeneration - IE and Netscape/Mozilla/Opera. Second the Mozilla code is completely in basic_csr and only Mircosoft's IE uses some scripting code.
Mozilla ------- - go to basic_csr - go to line 301
} elsif ( $OPERATION =~ /client-filled-form/i ) {
- go to line 351
if (getRequired("DN_TYPE_".$type."_KEYGEN_MODE") =~ /SPKAC/)
Now you see the keygeneration code for Mozilla. It is only one line.
IE -- - cd src/common/lib/javascript/C - view ieCSR.vbs
ieCSR.vbs is a VB script which generates the key and request with an Internet Explorer.
