353542 - OCSP error when configuring own's cert for S/Mime

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Security: S/MIME, defect)

Description

[Kai Engert [:KaiE:]]

I have one test profile, where I see this problem.
I have to analyze what exactly triggers this problem, because with a similar profile I do not run into it...

The problem is:
- have OCSP enabled
- own some personal certs and some certs of other people. Some certs should list an OCSP responder
- go to mail/news configuration, security
- try to configure your own cert by clicking the "select" button

Actual behaviour:
You get an error message about an internal failure, OCSP request can not be completed.
(Luckily, I get past this point and can continue to configure my cert.)

Expected behaviour:
No error message.

This bug is similar to 337517, the cause is that the OCSP request is started synchronously from the main thread, which is not supported.

A solution for the trunk is available in bug 353597.
I do not have a low risk solution for the stable 1.8 branch at this time.

Resolving as WORKSFORME, because our stable product versions have received the solution mentioned above.
