Keywords: nsbeta2
Whiteboard: [nsbeta2+]Exception Feature
Update: 1) We need to show the CA which made the assertion, in other words, the immidiate signer (as opposed to the trusted root). 2) David Drinan will make a small change to PSM to provide the exact string we need to show in the chrome. He'll document that fuction in this bug. 3) The text should say "Signed by %s", e.g. "Signed by Verisign, Inc.". Most of these CA names are short, by the way. 4) When you click on that text, nothing should happen. It's not hot. 5) This text should appear to the *immediate* left of the lock icon. It should appear only when the connection to the server uses SSL. Note 1: some PM (probably LaGuardia) needs to approve this plan. Note 2: we need someone in client-land to write the code to insert this text into the chrome.
cc don. Do we need separate bugs for the Cartman API vs. the Navigator chrome?
In the psm-glue layer, to get the CA that signed a secure sites SSL cert, do the following: CMTItem caName; result = CMT_GetStringAttribute(contolConnection, socketStatusID, SSM_FID_SSS_CA_NAME, &caName); if (result != CMTSuccess) return some error;
Yeah, we probably need at least one bug for this. Before we do any chrome changes I'd like to see a design on how this should look, an icon, etc. All the necessary stuff. I'll open a bug later today on it.
