for step 3 and firefox, this is a bit complicated. There is no command or whatsoever to do this automatically, and there seems to be no way to modify the central certificate store, only the users' one. We did it this way: Install the certs into a local firefox installation and search cert8.db in the firefox profile. Deploy that to the same folder in every users profile. We did this without WPKG, by running a cron job at night on our server which copied cert8.db to /home/*/profile/Application Data/... Additionally, copy cert8.db to %ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile using WPKG on every machine, so every newly created user profile will have cert8.db as well. If you may need this often, I suggest building your own CA e.g. with Tiny-CA and create a root certificate which does not expire until in 10 years or so, and distribute that to your clients. Afterwards, you can always create new certificates for new machines and FF will trust them as long as they're signed with your root certificate. With IE, this may be much easier using CAPICOM. Unattended uses this and a small perl script (cert.pl) to do this. You may also want to use CAPICOM directly with your own script, take a look here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa375732%28VS.85%29.aspx Bye, Andreas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- wpkg-users mailing list archives >> http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/wpkg-users/ _______________________________________________ wpkg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.wpkg.org/mailman/listinfo/wpkg-users
