Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Kathleen Wilson]

Attachment: GlobalSign Root CA - R3 root certificate

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

Friendly name: GlobalSign Root CA - R3

Certificate location: http://secure.globalsign.net/cacert/Root-R3.crt

SHA1 Fingerprint: D6:9B:56:11:48:F0:1C:77:C5:45:78:C1:09:26:DF:5B:85:69:76:AD

Trust flags: Websites, Email, Code Signing

Test URL: https://2029.globalsign.com

This CA has been assessed in accordance with the Mozilla project guidelines,
and the certificate approved for inclusion in bug #507360.

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.

Johan, Thanks for confirming that the data in this bug is correct.

Root inclusions are usually grouped and done as a batch when there is
either a large enough set of changes or about every 3 months.

At some point in the next 3 months a test build will be provided and this bug
will be updated to request that you test it. Since you are cc'd on this bug,
you will get notification via email when that happens.

Current test builds (Mozilla experimental) for various platforms can be found
at
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tryserver-builds/[e-mail]-92eacf382419/

Please note the builds at above location will be automatically deleted after
two weeks, so please make copies if you need them.

Please test and confirm that your roots have been added correctly, with the
correct trust flags (use certificate manager, find your cert, click "view" to
see the trust flags).


Please note, THIS bug is ONLY for including the root. Any comments regarding
"EV" should go into the separate EV bug.
