Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 496005

(Core :: Security, defect)

Description

[Michal Bruncko]

User-Agent:       Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en) Presto/2.2.15 Version/10.00
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4pre) Gecko/20091007 Shredder/3.0pre

When I use non-ASCII characters in "Module name" while loading new security device in device manager, the loaded device will have a empty name instead of name defined by "module name". When I use standard ASCII characters, the name of device will be correctly appended.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Tools -> Options...
2. Click on Advanced -> Certificates -> Security devices
3. In Device Manager window, click on "Load" and try to load some device (I have loaded library to my TokenKey SafeNet iKey4000) and in input box for "Module name", use some of non-ASCII characters (like ľščťžýáíé). Default text in slovak language (that I using) has also non-ASCII character (Nový modul PKCS#11 - char "ý")
4. After click on "OK" button in "Load PKCS#11 Device", the new appeded device will have empty name.
Actual Results:  
Appended device have empty name.

Expected Results:  
Appended device should be name defined in "Module name" inputbox from device load window.

Device name with empty string cannot be removed. Removal operation results to: 

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIPKCS11ModuleDB.findModuleByName]"  nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://pippki/content/device_manager.js :: getSelectedItem :: line 218"  data: no]

Yes, the same issue with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; sk; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

I think that this is Windows platform only.  reporter uses Windows.

We should use platform charset instead of UTF8.

Bug is still present in the latest Thunderbird release and behaves exactly like Michal described - except that no module info in the right pane is displayed. I was developing a custom PKCS#11 module and spent 2 days trying to figure out why it won't display the module info - and this was the reason. Now it works but it is painful to change "Nový modul PKCS#11" to something else every time.
