935687 - Add T-TeleSec GlobalRoot Class 2 root certificate to NSS

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(NSS :: CA Certificates Code, task)

Description

[Kathleen Wilson]

Attachment: GlobalRoot_Class_2.cer

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

Friendly name: T-TeleSec GlobalRoot Class 2
Certificate location: http://www.telesec.de/downloads/GlobalRoot_Class_2.cer
SHA1 Fingerprint: 59:0D:2D:7D:88:4F:40:2E:61:7E:A5:62:32:17:65:CF:17:D8:94:E9
Trust flags: Websites, Email
Test URL: https://root-class2.test.telesec.de

This CA has been assessed in accordance with the Mozilla project guidelines, and the certificates approved for inclusion in bug #892390.

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 has been attached.

2) A Mozilla representative creates a patch with the new certificate, and provides a special test version of Firefox.

3) A representative of the CA uses the test version of Firefox to confirm (by adding a comment in this bug) that the certificate has been correctly imported and that websites work correctly.

4) The Mozilla representative requests that another Mozilla representative review the patch.

5) The Mozilla representative adds (commits) the patch to NSS, then closes this bug as RESOLVED FIXED.

6) 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.

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

Root inclusions and changes 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.

Please test that your root has been correctly included, that the trust bits are set correctly, and that connections to your test site work with basic domain validation status.

The test build is available at
  http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/try-builds/[e-mail]-e9ed86288188/

Download a binary for your preferred operating system, you probably want one of the following files:
  try-linux/firefox-....en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2
  try-linux64/firefox-....en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
  try-macosx64/firefox-....en-US.mac.dmg
  try-win32/firefox-....en-US.win32.zip

Please follow the test instructions here:

Make sure you use a fresh profile for your testing.

I tested the Firefox Nightly 29.0a1 from 2014-01-07. Our root "T-TeleSec GlobalRoot Class 2" has been included correctly and the trust bits are set correctly. The connection to the corresponding testsites (valid, expired, revoked) works fine.

Thanks for testing.
We are targeting Firefox 29 for this change.
