From what I'm told, Mozilla Firefox must be built with a special build-time option to allow an external text file to contain admin-approved EV roots. There is no specific OID for a policy extension used to identify EV. I honestly don't know how one would make it; there was a related discussion on Mozilla's dev-tech-crypto list a few days ago describing where to look in the source code for information on how to do it.
It is likely that the documentation will also describe what extensions must be included to mark an end-entity certificate as EV. I don't know the details. I also don't know how to configure MSIE to do it, either. -Kyle H On Wed, Aug 27, 2008 at 4:52 AM, Jakob Grießmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > basically, I want to play around with EVN for documentation and > development purposes, and the only way of getting a "cheap" > certificate is creating one on my own... so a pointer would be > welcome. > > Thanks > Jakob > ______________________________________________________________________ > OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org > User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org > Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] >
