1532753 - Add Hongkong Post Root CA 3 root certificate to NSS

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(NSS :: CA Certificates Code, task)

Description

[Kathleen Wilson]

Attachment: Hongkong Post Root CA3(PEM).cer

This bug requests inclusion in the NSS root store of the following root certificates owned by Hongkong Post Certification Authority (HKPCA).

Friendly Name: Hongkong Post Root CA 3
Cert Location: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8980482
SHA-256 Fingerprint: 5A2FC03F0C83B090BBFA40604B0988446C7636183DF9846E17101A447FB8EFD6
Trust Flags: Websites
Test URL: https://valid-ev.ecert.gov.hk/

This CA has been assessed in accordance with the Mozilla project guidelines, and the certificates approved for inclusion in bug #1464306

The next steps are as follows:

1. A representative of the CA must confirm that all the data in this bug is correct, and that the correct certificate has been attached.
2. A Mozilla representative creates a patch with the new certificate, and provides a special test version of Firefox.
3. A representative of the CA uses the test version of Firefox to confirm (by adding a comment in this bug) that the certificate has been correctly imported and that websites work correctly.
4. The Mozilla representative requests that another Mozilla representative review the patch.
5. The Mozilla representative adds (commits) the patch to NSS, then closes this bug as RESOLVED FIXED.
6. At some time after that, various Mozilla products will move to using a version of NSS which contains the certificates. This process is mostly under the control of the release drivers for those products.

Kathleen,

I confirm that the Hongkong Post Root CA3(PEM).cer at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=9048619 is correct.

However, I'm sorry that the Cert Location https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8980482 contains a wrong intermediate CA certificate file "Hongkong Post Root CA3 (Cross-signed by CA1)(PEM).cer". Please replace that file by the one attached here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=9048757

If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.

Man

Yes, I confirm that both 1. & 2. are correct.

Man, This root cert has been added to Firefox Nightly, which you can test as described here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA/Application_Instructions#Test
Except that rather than using a test build as described in step #1, use Firefox Nightly:

We followed the instruction to test this root cert. I confirm that this root cert has been added as Builtin Object Token, and our SSL certificate can successfully chain to this root cert.
