152984 - RFE: Need a way to obtain the list of all email addresses in a cert.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 152986

(NSS :: Libraries, defect)

Description

[Stephane Saux]

We currenlty can't adhere to the S/MIME standards that specify that a cert can
contain multiple email addresses because the only api in the s/mime libraries is:

char * NSS_CMSSignerInfo_GetSignerEmailAddress()


Note that NSS_CMSSignerInfo_GetSignerEmailAddress returns
CERTCertificate.emailAddr, which is created by a call to

lib/certdb/alg1485.c:CERT_GetCertificateEmailAddress(CERTCertificate *cert)

That function seems to be looking at all the right places, but only returns one
email address.

The very existence of CERTCErtificate.emailAddr is questionable, since certs can
have more than one.

Maybe we can add a field to CERTCertificate that would contain a list of email
addresses? Maybe we can have a function that computes the list on demand?

What do you think?
