Hi there,

I'm trying to create a certificate with openssl that I can import into
Netscape and then use this for signing jar files.

The problem I have is that even the import is runing without problems my CA
certificate (not the one I want to use for the signing) is not mentioned in
the  Signers Section and running the signtool I get the message that the
certificate (now the one I use for certification) is 'not approved for this
operation'. If I try to import my CA certificate stand alone it always go to
'own certificates' and not to 'Signer'.

Before you ask me: Yes I was looking into the PKCS#12 FAQ from Dr. Henson
but I still have the problem :-(

My nsCertType in the usr_cert section of openssl.cnf is set to objSign, and
in the v3_ca to sslCA, emailCA.

I've created the CA with CA.sh -newca  and the request with
CA.sh -newreq/-sign.

Then I used openssl x509 -export to make a p12 certificate from the user
certificate and then imported it into NS.

Did I miss something????

Any hints will be welcome!

Oliver
