I forgot to send my reply on Friday. :( My browser works fine with various certs, but no other browser I've tried does. Not one. They all have problems with secclab. They either don't have it, or it is broken.
The secclab plugin for mozilla <= 1.6 actually breaks mozilla, and causes it to fail on startup with stupid errors, some other secclab plugin version apparently works, but if so it's incorrectly labelled on their site. Other browser versions that do have secclab can sign the challenge with the plugin dialog, but then don't send the correct reply. I added some debug to the javascript output to display what the plugin was replying with, and on my browser it sends a big long signed challenge as you would expect, but on other browsers, it sends error:internalError Which must mean secclab is still broken. It gets picked up by a line of javascript that says if a reply is less than 100 chars, display an error saying "sign is needed to enter". I found a link to wamcom, the fixed version of mozilla with a working javascript crypto.signText() function, but it's a bit too old to use in linux. I'm stumped still. There's not many options still open to me, other than trying to add the javascript crypto.signText() patch to a new version of firefox. Are other people out there able to use the crypto.signText() function reliably in a production environment? I'm running into problem after problem, and I want to find a way for it to work for non technical admin staff (probably in windows, yuck.)
