Netscape 6.1 Problem
 
Primary Browser: 	ntsc61  
Operating System: 	Win98  
Language: 		English  
Issue Summary: 		Program crash when attempting to view security certificate details
Component: 		Security
Doing What: 		Other  Selecting "View" in Certificate manager
Severity: 		CrashsNetscape6  
Can Reproduce: 		Always
Try this URL: 		http://
Issue Detail: 
In the certificate manager, I select the
certificate and click on the "View" button.
Netscape 6.1 promptly crashes. The certificate is
one I exported from Internet Explorer 5.5, with
strong encryption enabled (PKCS #12 format -
interestingly, IE uses a .pfx extension, while
Netscape expects a .p12 extension). The import
into Netscape appeared to be successful, but
attempting to view the certificate details causes
the crash described above. The same problem
appeared to occur with a certificate from the same
site which I formerly used in Netscape Navigator
4.7. I do not have any other security certificates
to experiment on. Possibly related is the fact the
 certificate manager fails to report the Issuer of
the certificate, even though IE correctly lists it
as "Telstra Online CA". Below is the dump from the
Windows illegal exception window:

I have tested 512bit and 1024bit key-size certs. Created using IE, then exported
from IE and imported into Netscape 6, Win2000 Build ID: 2001090613.  I didn't
experience any problems.

Marking works for me.
