1457885 - Difficult to find certain certificate

Status: NEW

Steps to reproduce:

I've tried to find out if a certain certificate is installed. I know a substring that occurs as part of the certificate properties (specifically subject alternative name).


Actual results:

After scrolling through a seemingly endless certificate lists and inspecting promising certificates, I was not confident that the certificate I was looking for really wasn't there.


Expected results:

It should be possible to search or filter for certificates given a substring of the existing certificate attributes and especially also the fingerprints of the certificates.

This should be implemented for CA, server, and all other types of certificates.

I would prefer to have a text input field above the list (similar to the stored passwords dialog).

This seems to be an enhancement. However, I am assigning a component to this issue in order to involve the development team and get an opinion on this.
