387398 - Missing (Client, Server) Certificate support

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Calendar :: Internal Components, enhancement)

Description

[dustin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070221 SeaMonkey/1.1.1
Build Identifier: Sunbird 0.5

Please, is there any chance of the client certificate support being added to Sunbird? The old mozilla suit's integrated calendar used common networking code which supported client certificates for authentication against webdav servers with ICS files. Unfortunately, the calendar was removed from seamonkey and sunbird does not seem to support this very usefull feature.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Trying to find a relevant setup dialog.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
No relevant setup option found.

I agree, we need this.

Attachment: Add Certificate Preferences

This patch adds the necessary XUL to show the encryption prefs in Sunbird. What this patch does not do is gracefully handle certificate problems (i.e nsIBadCertListener), but then again tb2 doesn't do this either, and tb3's dialog is only minimally more user friendly. A dull alert box is shown in case of an error, more or less verbose depending on branch.

Add Certificate Preferences

As far as I can see this is a mere copy and paste job (which is Ok) except for a single style setting that you applied. Seems to work fine. Thank you. r=Berend

Checked in on HEAD and MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH

-> FIXED

With latest lightning nightly and TB 3.0b3 I wanted to connect to my CalDAV Server which currently has a broken certificate.

However, with TB or FF I simply would add a temporary exception, but lightning just refuses to connect to this CalDAV server.

I would like to use the certificate management abilities of TB also in lightning. Is that possible?

Is this related to this closed bug? Or should I open a new one?
