Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1120350

(Core :: Security: PSM, defect)

Description

Attachment: cert_error.JPG

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/74.0.3729.131 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I am trying to access an internal app which needs user certificate during TLS challenge, but firefox is unable to read the user certificate. I have already tried the below config, but it doesn't worked out:

In Firefox, type 'about:config' in the address bar
If prompted, accept any warnings
Right-click to create a new boolean value, and enter 'security.enterprise_roots.enabled' as the Name
Set the value to 'true'

Actual results:

App loading failed as certificate couldn't be fetched from Windows Cert Store

Expected results:

User Certificate already installed in Windows Certificate store should have been fetched by Firefox and authenticate myself on the App i am trying to access.

Doesn't look like a security vulnerability that needs to be hidden.
