<h3>Client Certificate Selection</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can decide how Navigator selects a certificate from among those you have on file to identify you to a web site:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<LI>If you want Navigator to choose a certificate without asking you, click
|
|
Select Automatically. This is usually the preferred setting.
|
|
<LI>If you want Navigator to ask you to select a certificate each time a web site
|
|
requests one, click Ask Every Time.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p> </p>

|
<h3>Manage Certificates</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Certificates are the digital equivalent of ID cards—they help other people
|
|
identify you, and they help you identify other people, web sites, and organizations.
|
|
|
|
<p>To examine or configure the certificates you have on file, click Manage Certificates.
|
|
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
<a NAME="Manage_Security_Devices"></a>
|
|
<h3>Manage Security Devices</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>A security device is a hardware or software device that stores your certificates and keys.
|
|
For example, a smart card is a security device. Mozilla has its own built-in software
|
|
security device, and you can use additional security devices, such as smart cards, at the same time.
|
|
|
|
<p>To examine or configure your security devices, click Manage Security Devices.
