Description Issue Tracker 2007-07-31 19:32:26 UTC
Escalated to Bugzilla from IssueTracker

Comment 1 Issue Tracker 2007-07-31 19:32:30 UTC
This question refers to Red Hat Certificate System 7.3 and its associated middleware for Windows.   
 
How can we import certificates to a smart card using PKCS #12 files?  Does CS 7.3 support this capability?  If not, does RedHat plan to add PKCS #12 importing support for cards in the future?

Comment 2 Issue Tracker 2007-07-31 19:32:31 UTC
Currently, we don't support PKCS#12 on CS 7.3. This feature will be
approve by Product Manager (Kevin Unthank or Bob Lord) to add this on next
release. 

Ben.

You can use openssl and / or certutil and pk12util from nss (bundled with
rhcs)

Hi...here is the comments from the customer

Hello, based on your suggestions we used the utilities from  
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/nss-3.9/nss-3.9-release-notes.html

- nss 3.9  
- nspr 4.4.1
(Windows versions)  

We tried using pk12util to export a certificate from a smart card token,
however we received an error "pk12util: add cert and key failed: Unable
to export.  Private Key could not be located and exported."  

We also tried using pk12util to import a certificate, but received this
error message: "pk12util: PKCS12 decode import bags failed: Unable to
import.  Error attempting to import private key."  

We noticed that there is a bug reported for pk12util (bug id # 4620283)
from SunONE at http://docs.sun.com/source/819-0426-11/notes.html which
indicates that pk12util cannot export keys from external hardware devices.
 

Could you please provide examples of how to import/export certs to/from a
smart card?
