Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(NSS :: CA Certificates Code, task, P2)

Description

[Kathleen Wilson]

This bug requests inclusion in the NSS root certificate store of the following certificate, owned by GeoTrust.

Friendly name: 
GeoTrust Primary Certification Authority - G3

Certificate location: 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=368997
(will also attach to this bug)

SHA1 Fingerprint: 
03:9E:ED:B8:0B:E7:A0:3C:69:53:89:3B:20:D2:D9:32:3A:4C:2A:FD

Trust flags: web sites, email, code signing

Test URL: https://ptnr-geotrust256.bbtest.net


This CA has been assessed in accordance with the Mozilla project guidelines,
and the root certificate has been approved for inclusion in bug 484899.

The next steps are as follows:

1) A representative of the CA must confirm that all the data in this bug is
correct, and that the correct certificate(s) have been attached. They must also
specify what OS they would like to use to perform the verification below.

2) A Mozilla representative creates a test build of NSS with the new
certificate(s), and attaches nssckbi.dll to this bug. A representative of the
CA must download this, drop it into a copy of Firefox and/or Thunderbird on the
OS in question and confirm (by adding a comment here) that the certificate(s)
have been correctly imported and that websites work correctly.

3) The Mozilla representative checks the certificate(s) into the NSS store, and
marks the bug RESOLVED FIXED.

4) At some time after that, various Mozilla products will move to using a
version of NSS which contains the certificate. This process is mostly under the
control of the release drivers for those products.

This is to confirm the data in the bug looks correct and that the correct
certificate is attached. For the OS to do the verification, we will use Window
XP Pro SP2.

Please perform the test (3) mentioned in the initial comment in this bug.

Instead of using a separate nssckbi.dll, I've produced a full test firefox build, please download from:
https://build.mozilla.org/tryserver-builds/[e-mail]-bug527759/

We'll wait for you to confirm your root(s) have been added correctly to this test build (cert listed in cert manager, trust flags as expected, you can connect to your test site as expected).

[Kai Engert [:KaiE:]]

An updated test build that contains the roots from this bug, plus some roots from other bugs, is now available at

https://build.mozilla.org/tryserver-builds/[e-mail]-bug527759-11/

Comment 7

[Jay Schiavo]

We checked the test build above and confirmed the GeoTrust Primary Certificate Authority-G3 root is added to the build and we could successfully access the test site listed above using a cert issued from this root. The Websites (SSL/TLS) and Email (SMIME) that we requested, were enabled.

Kai has taken most of the NSS CA Certificate bugs that were formerly assigned
to me (Thanks, Kai).  All but this one.  I'm giving this one to Kai, too.
I hope it hasn't been forgotten in Kai's recent patch.
