Description Roshni 2013-07-29 17:10:22 UTC
Description of problem:
Enrollment of SC650 smart card worked fine with the following configuration changes to TPS' CS.cfg

op.enroll.userKey.keyGen.encryption.private.keyCapabilities.decrypt=false
op.enroll.userKey.keyGen.encryption.private.keyCapabilities.derive=true
op.enroll.userKey.keyGen.encryption.private.keyCapabilities.unwrap=false

op.enroll.userKey.update.applet.requiredVersion=1.4.51707a0d

op.enroll.userKey.keyGen.encryption.alg=5
op.enroll.userKey.keyGen.encryption.keySize=256

op.enroll.userKey.keyGen.signing.alg=5
op.enroll.userKey.keyGen.signing.keySize=256

The subsystem instances were created and configured on a nss-ecc environment. I also updated to the latest nss and coolkey. The test program described in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=948649#c5 worked fine with the card but the encryption cert was not being recognized by thunderbird.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Thunderbird 17
RHEL 5

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:
Encryption Cert not recognized on thunderbird

Expected results:
Encryption and signing certs should be recognized by thunderbird and email should be successfully sent encrypted and digitally signed.

This is not going to be fixed in RHEL5.  When NSS adds ECC support for SMIME, it will be possible to use Thunderbird with ECC tokens.
