Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(NSS :: Documentation, defect, P2)

Description

[Julien Pierre]

Several of the trust flags are not documented in certdb.h :

/* common flags for all types of certificates */
#define CERTDB_VALID_PEER       (1<<0)
#define CERTDB_TRUSTED          (1<<1)
#define CERTDB_SEND_WARN        (1<<2)
#define CERTDB_VALID_CA         (1<<3)
#define CERTDB_TRUSTED_CA       (1<<4) /* trusted for issuing server certs */
#define CERTDB_NS_TRUSTED_CA    (1<<5)
#define CERTDB_USER             (1<<6)
#define CERTDB_TRUSTED_CLIENT_CA (1<<7) /* trusted for issuing client certs */
#define CERTDB_INVISIBLE_CA     (1<<8) /* don't show in UI */
#define CERTDB_GOVT_APPROVED_CA (1<<9) /* can do strong crypto in export ver */

We need documentation for the ones that don't have any. This was requested by a customer.
