642795 – RFE: add PKCS#12 support

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Dmitri Pal 2010-10-13 20:25:21 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #642787 +++

Description of problem:

It would be nice if python-nss supported PKCS#12 files. I'd need the following:

* given a cert and key, create a PKCS#12 object with an optional password
* be able to export the object to a file or buffer
* given a PKCS#12 file (or buffer) create a PKCS#12 object, password optional
* be able to pull the cert and private key from the object

Also nice:

* be able to add/remove arbitrary CA certs to the PKCS#12 object
* set/get the friendlyname on certs

I'd be fine if file I/O was left as an exercise for the user, I'd probably just deal with buffers myself.

Comment 8 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 06:46:32 UTC

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 9 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-11 01:58:51 UTC

This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.

s390x core dump

Comment 14 Patrik Kis 2012-12-21 16:08:41 UTC

Hi John,

While verifying this bug and running unit test I found out that export to pkcs12 file does not work on ppc64 and s390x architectures. I'm not sure if the problem is in python-nss or elsewhere but the same code that works on x86_64/i686 core dumps on s390x and ppc64.

The two scripts setup_certs.py is taken fro unit tests and exp.py is just an extracted unit test to (from test_pkcs12.py).

Comment 15 John Dennis 2013-01-04 05:30:32 UTC

I have a patch for the segfault seen on s390x and ppc64. There was an incorrect type declaration due to a documentation bug for one of the CPython API's. Thus why this was only seen on these arches. I will produce a new build tomorrow morning.
