44111 - RFE: Poor naming of buttons in PSM UI

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: Security: UI, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Chris McAfee]

New security manager has chosen to rename the following buttons:

  Import  -> Restore
  Verify  -> View

Why change this after years of use in 4.x?  I get to this
page and can't figure out how to import a cert, I have to
guess that I want "Restore" although I'm not really restoring,
I'm importing.  AND, the restore page, once I get there, says
IMPORT.

Please don't blow this off, it's a detail that's gonna differentiate
a good product from a mediocre one.

oh, and I guess "backup" replaces "export".

Marking invalid. Backup and restore are the agreed upon words to be used as 
stated in the Cartman UI HTML Prototypes 
http://surveyor.red.iplanet.com/users/lord/publish/docs/Cartman/mmullany/Cartman
%20UI/launch.html

Click on Security Advisor button at the top, then on certificates. I'll file a 
new bug stating that clicking on the restore button brings up "File name to 
import"

Setting target milestone to future.

I'm not sure I see the confusion with the terms "Backup" and "Restore". 
Wouldn't most users (especially users new to certs) be more familiar with them
than "Import" and "Export"?

"View" will allow you to view details about a cert. 

FYI: There will be some big improvements to the Cert Manager landing this week.
 View Certificate should make much more sense.

Fine, I give in.  At least be consistant
and use restore on the "import" page, the
2nd part of my original bug comment.
