<br>Comments to: <a href="mailto:psmfeedback@netscape.com?subject=JavaScript%20API%20Feedback">psmfeedback@netscape.com</a>
|
||||
<p>This document describes a new JavaScript API for performing user certificate
|
||||
management operations within a client. The JavaScript runs in the context
|
||||
of a web page operated by a Certificate Authority (CA) or Registration
|
||||
Authority (RA). The API allows the CA or RA to instruct the client to perform
|
||||
PKI operations such as key generation, certificate request generation,
|
||||
key escrow, import of user certificates, key recovery, and revocation requests.
|
||||
<p>These properties and methods reflect behavior currently implemented
|
||||
in Personal Security Manager 1.0.
|
||||
<p>The messages imported by or generated by these JavaScript methods are
|
||||
defined in the CRMF, CMMF, and CMC internet drafts.

<p>This method will generate a sequence of CRMF requests that has N requests.
|

One request for each key pair that is generated. The first three

parameters will be applied to every request. the "escrowAuthorityCert"
|
||||
parameter will only be used for requests that pertain to a key that is
|
||||
being escrowed. After the "escrowAuthorityCert" parameter, the method
|
||||
takes some JavaScript code that is invoked when the CRMF request
|
||||
is ready. Finally, there are 1 or more sets of key generation arguments.
|
||||
Each key generation will be associated with its own request. All
|

the requests will have the same DN.

The digital equivalent of an ID card. A certificate specifies the name of an individual, company, or other entity and certifies that a public key, which is included in the certificate, belongs to that entity. When you digitally sign a message or other data, the digital signature for that message is created with the aid of the private key that corresponds to the public key in your certificate. A certificate is issued and digitally signed by a <a href="glossary.htm#1020903">certificate authority (CA)</a>. A certificate's validity can be verified by checking the CA's <a href="glossary.htm#1013995">digital signature</a>.

When Personal Security Manager verifies a certificate, it confirms that the digital signature was created by a CA whose own CA certificate is both present in the certificate store and marked as trusted for issuing that kind of certificate. It also confirms that the certificate being verified has not been marked as untrusted in the certificate store. Finally, if the <a href="glossary.htm#1029304">Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP)</a> has been activated (from the Options panel under the Advanced tab), Personal Security Manager also performs an on-line check. It does so by looking up the certificate in a list of valid certificates maintained at a URL that is specified either in the certificate itself or in the OCSP Settings window. If any of these checks fail, Personal Security Manager marks the certificate as unverified and won't recognize the identity it certifies.<P>

A code created from both the data to be signed and the private key of the signer. This code is unique for each new piece of data. Even a single comma added to a message changes the digital signature for that message. Successful validation of your digital signature by appropriate software not only provides evidence that you approved the transaction or message, but also provides evidence that the data has not changed since you digitally signed it. A digital signature has nothing to do with a handwritten signature, although it can sometimes be used for similar legal purposes.

|
||||
that third party software is invoked, then the use of
|
||||
that third party software shall be governed by this
|
||||
Agreement, but the term "Licensor," with respect to
|
||||
such third party software, shall mean the
|
||||
manufacturer of that software and not Netscape. With
|
||||
the exception of the situation described in (ii)
|
||||
above, the use of any included third party software
|
||||
product shall be governed by the third party's
|
||||
license agreement and not by this Agreement, whether
|
||||
that license agreement is presented for acceptance
|
||||
the first time that the third party software is
|
||||
invoked, is included in a file in electronic form, or
|
||||
is included in the package in printed form. If more
|
||||
than one license agreement was provided for the
|
||||
Product, and the terms vary, the order of precedence
|
||||
of those license agreements is as follows: a signed
|
||||
agreement, a license agreement available for review
|
||||
on the Netscape website, a printed or electronic
|
||||
agreement that states clearly that it supersedes
|
||||
other agreements, a printed agreement provided with
|
||||
the Product, an electronic agreement provided with
|
||||
the Product.
|
||||
|
||||
2. LICENSE GRANT. Licensor grants Licensee a
|
||||
non-exclusive and non-transferable license to

||||

|
||||

||||

|
||||

4. FEES. There is no license fee for the Product.
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
5. TERMINATION. Without prejudice to any other
|
||||
rights, Licensor may terminate this Agreement if
|
||||
Licensee breaches any of its terms and conditions.
|
||||
Upon termination, Licensee shall destroy all copies
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
6. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. Title, ownership rights, and
|
||||

|
||||
limit or interfere in any manner with Netscape's or
|
||||

|
||||
the Product. The Product is protected by copyright
|
||||

|
||||
international treaties. Title and related rights in
|
||||
the content accessed through the Product is the
|
||||
property of the applicable content owner and is
|
||||
protected by applicable law. The license granted
|
||||
under this Agreement gives Licensee no rights to such
|
||||
content.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
the Mozilla Public License (MPL). The source code for
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

||||

|
||||

|
||||
MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR
|
||||
NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY
|
||||
AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCT IS BORNE BY LICENSEE.
|
||||
SHOULD THE PRODUCT PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT,
|
||||
LICENSEE AND NOT LICENSOR OR ITS SUPPLIERS OR
|
||||
RESELLERS OR ANY CONTRIBUTORS TO THE SOURCE CODE
|
||||

|
||||
MECHANISMS IMPLEMENTED BY THE PRODUCT HAVE
|
||||
INHERENT LIMITATIONS, AND LICENSEE MUST DETERMINE
|
||||
THAT THE PRODUCT SUFFICIENTLY MEETS ITS REQUIREMENTS.
|
||||
THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL
|
||||
PART OF THIS AGREEMENT. NO USE OF THE PRODUCT IS
|
||||
AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
|
||||
|
||||
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT
|
||||
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL
|
||||
LICENSOR OR ITS SUPPLIERS OR RESELLERS OR ANY
|
||||
CONTRIBUTORS TO THE SOURCE CODE OF THE PORTIONS OF
|
||||
PERSONAL SECURITY MANAGER AVAILABLE FROM
|
||||
HTTP://WWW.MOZILLA.ORG BE LIABLE FOR
|
||||
ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
|
||||
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE
|
||||
THE PRODUCT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES
|
||||
FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE
|
||||
OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL
|
||||
DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY
|
||||

|
||||
THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) UPON WHICH THE
|
||||
CLAIM IS BASED. IN ANY CASE, LICENSOR'S ENTIRE
|
||||
LIABILITY UNDER ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL
|
||||

|
||||
LICENSEE PAID FOR THIS LICENSE (IF ANY) AND FEES FOR
|
||||

|
||||
SEPARATE SUPPORT AGREEMENT (IF ANY), WITH THE
|
||||
EXCEPTION OF DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY THE
|
||||
NEGLIGENCE OF LICENSOR TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW
|
||||
PROHIBITS THE LIMITATION OF DAMAGES IN SUCH CASES.
|
||||
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
|
||||
LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO
|
||||
THIS EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT BE APPLICABLE.
|
||||
NETSCAPE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LIABILITY ARISING
|
||||
OUT OF CONTENT PROVIDED BY LICENSEE OR A THIRD PARTY
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
10. ENCRYPTION. If Licensee wishes to use the
|
||||
cryptographic features of the Product, then Licensee
|
||||
may need to obtain and install a signed digital
|
||||
certificate from a certificate authority or a
|
||||
certificate server. Licensee may be charged
|
||||
additional fees for certification services. Licensee
|
||||
is responsible for maintaining the security of the
|
||||
environment in which the Product is used and the
|
||||
integrity of the private key file used with the
|
||||
Product. In addition, the use of digital
|
||||
certificates is subject to the terms specified by the
|
||||
certificate provider, and there are inherent
|
||||
limitations in the capabilities of digital
|
||||
certificates. If Licensee is sending or receiving
|
||||
digital certificates, Licensee is responsible for
|
||||
familiarizing itself with and evaluating such terms
|
||||
and limitations. If the Product is a version with
|
||||
FORTEZZA, Licensee will need to obtain PC Card
|
||||
Readers and FORTEZZA Crypto Cards from another vendor
|
||||
to enable the FORTEZZA features.
|
||||
|
||||
11. EXPORT CONTROL. Licensee agrees to comply with
|
||||
all export laws and restrictions and regulations of
|
||||
the United States or foreign agencies or authorities,
|
||||
and not to export or re-export the Product or any
|
||||
direct product thereof in violation of any such
|
||||
restrictions, laws or regulations, or without all
|
||||
necessary approvals. As applicable, each party shall
|
||||
obtain and bear all expenses relating to any
|
||||
necessary licenses and/or exemptions with respect to
|
||||
its own export of the Product from the U.S. Neither
|
||||
the Product nor the underlying information or
|
||||
technology may be downloaded or otherwise exported or
|
||||
re-exported (i) into Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North
|
||||
Korea, Sudan, Syria or any other country subject to
|
||||
U.S. trade sanctions covering the Product, to
|
||||
individuals or entities controlled by such countries,
|
||||
or to nationals or residents of such countries other
|
||||
than nationals who are lawfully admitted permanent
|
||||
residents of countries not subject to such sanctions;
|
||||
or (ii) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department's
|
||||
list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked
|
||||
Persons or the U.S. Commerce Department's Table of
|
||||
Denial Orders. By downloading or using the Product,
|
||||
Licensee agrees to the foregoing and represents and
|
||||
warrants that it complies with these conditions.
|
||||
|
||||
12. HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES. The Product is not
|
||||
fault-tolerant and is not designed, manufactured or
|
||||
intended for use or resale as on-line control
|
||||
equipment in hazardous environments requiring
|
||||
fail-safe performance, such as in the operation of
|
||||
nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or
|
||||
communication systems, air traffic control, direct
|
||||
life support machines, or weapons systems, in which
|
||||
the failure of the Product could lead directly to
|
||||
death, personal injury, or severe physical or
|
||||
environmental damage ("High Risk Activities").
|
||||
Accordingly, Licensor and its suppliers specifically
|
||||
disclaim any express or implied warranty of fitness
|
||||
for High Risk Activities. Licensee agrees that
|
||||
Licensor and its suppliers will not be liable for any
|
||||
claims or damages arising from the use of the Product
|
||||
in such applications.
|
||||
|
||||
13. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS. The Product is a
|
||||
"commercial item," as that term is defined in 48
|
||||
C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial
|
||||

||||
Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. (f)
|
||||
If any provision in this Agreement should be held
|
||||
illegal or unenforceable by a court having
|
||||

|
||||
extent necessary to render it enforceable without
|
||||
losing its intent, or severed from this Agreement if
|
||||
no such modification is possible, and other
|
||||

|
||||
force and effect. (g) The controlling language of

||||
any subsequent breach thereof. (i) The provisions of

|
||||
herein except in the case of a merger or the sale of
|
||||

|
||||
another entity. (k) This Agreement shall be binding
|
||||
upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties,

||||
their successors and permitted assigns. (l) Neither

||||
failure in performance (excepting the obligation to
|
||||
pay) or interruption of service resulting directly or
|
||||
indirectly from any cause beyond its reasonable
|
||||
control. (m) The relationship between Licensor and

||||
neither Licensee nor its agents shall have any
|
||||
authority to bind Licensor in any way. (n) If any

||||
are acquired independently of the Product licensed

<h2><a name="Changes Since PSM 1.3"></a>Changes Since Personal Security Manager
|
||||
1.3</h2>
|
||||
The <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2246.txt">Transport Layer Security
|
||||
(TLS)</a> protocol is turned on by default in Personal Security Manager1.4.
|
||||
To turn TLS off, open Personal Security Manager, click the Advanced tab, click
|
||||
Options in the left frame, then deselect the checkbox labeled "Enable TLS."
|
||||
<p>TLS is an IETF standard based on the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.
|
||||
It can be thought of as SSL version 3.1. Some servers that do not implement
|
||||
SSL correctly cannot negotiate the SSL handshake with client software (such
|
||||
as Personal Security Manager) that supports TLS. To allow Personal Security
|
||||
Manager to use SSL with such TLS-intolerant servers, you must disable TLS
|
||||
as described above.</p>
|
||||
<p>Most other changes since Personal Security Manager 1.3 involve minor bug
|
||||
fixes and optimizations.</p>
|
||||
<p>This version of Netscape Personal Security Manager ships with Netscape
|
||||
6 and also works with Mozilla and Communicator 4.7x. </p>

<h2><a name="unpacking"></a>Installing Personal Security Manager</h2>
|
||||
Netscape Personal Security Manager 1.4 is installed with Netscape 6 and recent versions
|
||||
of Mozilla.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>When you install Netscape 6 on Windows, Personal Security Manager is installed
|
||||
in the directory <tt>C:\Program Files\Common Files\Netscape Shared\Security\</tt>.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>When you install Netscape 6 on Unix, Personal Security Manager is installed
|
||||
in a directory called <tt>psm</tt> in the same directory where the <tt>netscape</tt>
|
||||
executable resides.<br>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The sections that follow describe how to install the Personal Security Manager
|
||||
files for use with Communicator 4.7x.</p>
|
||||
<h3>Installing on Windows 95/98/2000/NT for Use With Communicator 4.7x</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
To install Netscape Personal Security Manager on Windows 95/98/2000/NT for use with
|
||||
Communicator 4.7 or later, save the file in a convenient location with the
|
||||
specified filename, then drag the file's icon into a Navigator window (that
|
||||
is, a browser window displayed by Communicator). Dropping the file's icon
|
||||
over the browser window initiates SmartUpdate, which automatically installs
|
||||
Personal Security Manager. Afterinstallation is complete, exit Communicator
|
||||
and relaunch it. If your copy of Communicator is installed in the default
|
||||
location, SmartUpdate installs the Personal Security Manager files in the
|
||||
directory<tt>C:\Program Files\CommonFiles\Netscape Shared\Security\</tt>
|
||||
and adds the file <tt>cmnav.dll</tt>in the directory <tt>C:\Program Files\Netscape\Communicator\Program</tt>.<br>
|
||||
<h3>Installing on Unix for Use With Communicator 4.7x</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
To install Personal Security Manager for use with Communicator 4.7 or later on Unix, you
|
||||
must be logged in as the same Unix user you will be logged in as when you
|
||||
run Communicator. For the Unix installation to succeed, you must have write
|
||||
privileges for both the directory where the Netscape executable resides and
|
||||
the directory where the installation script creates the directory containing
|
||||
the Personal Security Manager files. To install Personal Security Manager for
|
||||
use with Communicator 4.7x, download the tar file for the version of the product
|
||||
that you want to install and follow these steps:<br>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Exit Communicator, if it is running.</li>
|
||||
<li>Decompress the downloaded file to some convenient location.</li>
|
||||
<li>Run the psm-install program.</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
The psm-install program allows you to specify the directory in which Personal
|
||||
Security Manager will be installed. In this release, you must install Personal
|
||||
Security Manager locally. To do so, you can either install it in the default
|
||||
location (<tt>/opt/netscape/security</tt>) or in some other local location. However,
|
||||
if you install Personal Security Manager anywhere other than the default
|
||||
location, Communicator must also be installed locally. To run Personal Security
|
||||
Manager on Unix, you must be logged in as the same Unix user you were logged
|
||||
in as when you installed it.<br>
|
||||
<h3>Disabling Personal Security Manager</h3>
|
||||
To <b>disable</b> Personal Security Manager temporarily, exit the browser,
|
||||
then:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>on Unix, remove the directory<tt>psm</tt> from the directory where
|
||||
the<tt>netscape</tt>executable resides.</li>
|
||||
<li>on Windows, rename the directory <tt>C:\Program Files\Common Files\Netscape
|
||||
Shared\Security</tt> to something else.</li>
|
||||
</ul>

|
||||
|
||||
<h3><a name="Use SSL with Server Authentication"></a>Test Basic SSL</h3>
|
||||
Go to any online store, banking service, brokerage account, or other website
|
||||
that supports SSL. Verify that the lock in the lower-left corner ofthe browser
|
||||
window is closed when you reach the pages for which SSL shouldbe enabled,
|
||||
for example a page where you are asked to give your creditcard number.
|
||||
<h3><a name="Get a Certificate"></a>Get an SSL Client Certificate</h3>
|
||||
Go to any public or private CA and apply for an SSL client certificate.
|
||||
<p>To test one-click certificate issuance, dual key-pair certificates,and
|
||||
other Personal Security Manager features, system administrators shoulddownload,
|
||||
install, and configure Netscape Certificate Management System.For complete
|
||||

|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Click the Security icon in the Navigator toolbar.</li>
|
||||
<li>Click the Certificates tab.</li>
|
||||
<li>Click to select your certificate.</li>
|
||||
<li>Click View.</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
You should see information about your new certificate.
|
||||
<h3><a name="Using Your Personal Certificate for Client"></a><font size="+1">
|
||||
TestClient Authentication</font></h3>
|
||||
Personal Security Manager allows the SSL server and client to negotiatewhich
|
||||
certificate to use, and in most cases they can agree on a singlecorrect certificate
|
||||
for the client to present. When this happens, the usercan access an SSL site
|
||||
that requires client authentication with zero additionalclicks.
|
||||
<p>To test client authentication with Netscape Enterprise Server, systemadministrators
|
||||
should follow these steps:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Install an Enterprise Server and configure it for client authentication
|
||||
as described in <a href="http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/cms/41/dep_gide/entsrv.htm">
|
||||
AppendixD, Using SSL with Enterprise Server 3.x</a>, of <i>Netscape Certificate
|
||||
Management System Installation and Deployment Guide</i>.</li>
|
||||
<li>Test the Enterprise Server installation as described at the end of
|
||||
AppendixD using Personal Security Manager.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h3><a name="Validate Certificates Using OSCP"></a>Validate Certificates
|
||||
UsingOSCP</h3>
|
||||
Personal Security Manager supports the use of the On-Line Certificate Status
|
||||
Protocol (OSCP) to check the validity of certificates in real time. Information
|
||||
about this protocol and how configure Personal Security Manager 1.3 andNetscape
|
||||
Certificate Management System 4.2 to support it is available from<a href="http://docs.iPlanet.com/docs/manuals/psm/12/psmdply.htm">
|
||||
http://docs.iPlanet.com/docs/manuals/psm/12/psmdply.htm</a>
|
||||
<p>It's important to note that Personal Security Manager will accept signatures
|
||||
from responders only under the following conditions:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>The response was signed by a delegated responder--that is, the responder's
|
||||
certificate was signed by the same CA as the certificate you're trying
|
||||
to verify and has the <tt>extendedKeyUsage</tt> bit set indicating thatthe
|
||||
certificate is an OCSP response signer. The certificate should be thesame
|
||||
as a CA certificate with the addition of the <tt>extendedKeyUsage</tt>bit.</li>
|
||||
<li>The user has designated a default responder in the OCSP Settings dialog
|
||||
box (available from the Advanced tab under Options).</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
Common problems include the following:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Time drift between the client and server machine. Personal Security
|
||||
Managerexpects the time of the response to be within the past 24 hours. If
|
||||
thereis a difference in the clocks between the machine used to sign the response,
|
||||
so the response looks to Personal Security Manager like it was signed inthe
|
||||
future, Personal Security Manager interprets this as an error. Runntp on
|
||||
both machines to fix this problem.</li>
|
||||
<li>The response doesn't include the certificates required to complete
|
||||
thechain needed to verify the signer's certificate. The client frequently
|
||||
doesn't have all the certificates in the database that are needed to verify
|
||||
the signer's certificate, in which case Personal Security Manager can'tverify
|
||||
the signer's certificate and OCSP fails. Make sure the entire chainis included
|
||||
with every response. This is the safest way to avoid this problem.</li>
|
||||
<li>If you are using ValiCert, misconfiguration may cause the Validation
|
||||
Authoritynot to send the certificate chain (including the CA root certificate
|
||||
andthe OCSP responder's certificate) correctly.</li>
|
||||

<h2><a name="Known Bugs/Issues for 14 Release"></a>Known Bugs/Issues for
|
||||
Personal Security Manager 1.4</h2>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>To run Personal Security Manager on Unix with Netscape 6 or Communicator,
|
||||
you must be logged in as thesame Unix user you were logged in as when the
|
||||
browser was installed.</li>
|
||||
<li>FORTEZZA is not guaranteed to work with this release. [# 94220]</li>
|
||||
<li>In some unusual circumstances you may encounter problems such as valid
|
||||
certificates not being verified or the browser freezing up. If you encounter
|
||||
a problem that doesn't appear to have a logical explanation, try the following
|
||||
as a last resort:</li>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Exit the browser, then relaunch it. If necessary, use Control-Alt-Delete
|
||||
on Windows 95/98/2000/NT to bring up the Task Manager and click End Process
|
||||
for both <tt>psm.exe</tt> and <tt>netscp6.exe</tt>.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>Warning:</b> <b>Before taking this step, back up your own certificates
|
||||
stored internally by Personal Security Manager.</b> If exiting and relaunching
|
||||
the browser doesn't take care of the problem, in some rare cases it maywork
|
||||
to exit the browser, then delete or rename your <tt>cert7.db</tt> and<tt>
|
||||
key3.db</tt>files (located in your user profile directory on Windows 95/98/2000/NT,
|
||||
or in the directory in which the Netscape or Mozilla executable resideson
|
||||
Unix) and relaunch the browser. You should also look for all otherfiles in
|
||||
the same directory that begin with <tt>cert</tt> or<tt>key</tt>and end in
|
||||
<tt>.db</tt> and delete those files as well before relaunchingthe browser.</li>
