337486 - mismatch between PK11_FindCertFromNickname and FindCerts

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(NSS :: Libraries, defect, P2)

Description

[Kai Engert (:KaiE:)]

There is a mismatch between "single cert lookup" and "multi cert lookup" functions:
- PK11_FindCertFromNickname
- PK11_FindCertsFromNickname

"Single cert" function PK11_FindCertFromNickname
has an additional section which is prefixed by the following comment:
  "if it wasn't found, repeat the process for email address"

"Multi cert" function PK11_FindCertsFromNickname
does NOT contain a corresponding section.

In my test scenario, when querying an email address using FindCert, one cert was returned.
However, FindCerts returned zero certs.

I think this is an obvious inconsistency and should be fixed.
This fix will be required for bug 337430.

This added code is an exact copy of the corresponding section in the FindCert function. (But I adjusted the name of one variable)

Let's try to get this into 3.11.2

Patch v1

I doubt it will make 3.11.2.
Kai, if you need quicker response on reviews be sure to CC other NSS developers.

I'd like julien to eyeball this before it goes into a 3.11 branch.

Looks OK, very close to what the individual cer lookup function does.
