125524 - Cannot use HTTPS, browser reports PSM must be installed

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 124211

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Jens Fallesen]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:0.9.8+) Gecko/20020214
BuildID:    2002021407

When trying to access HTTPS pages, a popup window with the following text appears:

This document cannot be displayed unless you install the Personal Security
ManagerPSM).
Download and install PSM and try again, or contact your system administrator.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://play.com/
2. Click on "Log In" button under "Your Account"

(In fact, connecting to any HTTPS site will show this behaviour.)



Actual Results:  This popup appears:

This document cannot be displayed unless you install the Personal Security
ManagerPSM).
Download and install PSM and try again, or contact your system administrator.

Expected Results:  The secure page should be displayed.

I first discovered this problem on February 11 after having CVS-updated my tree
for the first time in over a week. I do have "--enable-crypto" in configuration
statement.

Tried removing the tree and pulling it again. Same problem.
Tried removing my ~/.mozilla directory. Same problem.

I then tried downloading the latest nightly in binary form and this is also
having a problem.

During the build, there are often lines displayed around the security components
of "There are no private exports." - I do not have the output of an earlier
build so I do not know whether this was also seen before.

this looks very much like bug 123964.  PSM changes were not repackaged properly
for mac OSX...perhaps that's what is happening here?

Comment 2

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

sounds like build config

Sounds suspiciously like bug 124211 .  Jens, do you see any output to the
console when you first start up Mozilla or run regxpcom?  You may have to remove
component.reg to see the messages again.

I just deleted my component.reg and tried to start Mozilla from the command line
(usually I do it from a desktop link so I do not see the output). This is what I
get:


dilbert:~$ mozilla
**************************************************
nsNativeComponentLoader:
SelfRegisterDll(/usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/components/libpipnss.so) Load FAILED with
error: Cannot open "../../../../dist/lib/libsmime3.so"
**************************************************
*** Deferring registration of sample JS components
*** Registering -venkman handler.
*** Registering smime account manager extension.
*** Registering sample JS components


If I close it and restart it, I still get error message between the asterisk lines.

But yes, this certainly does look a lot like bug 124211.


[On a side note, IRC seems to be affected as well. This is not listed or offered
as an option inside Mozilla; however it works fine in the nightly I downloaded
so it may be unrelated.]
