Methods
Delete a certificate stored in the database. @param aCert Delete this certificate.
Export a set of certs and keys from the database to a PKCS#12 file.
@param aToken Optionally limits the scope of
this function to a token device.
Can be null to mean any token.
@param aFile Identifies a file that will be filled with the data
to be exported.
@param count The number of certificates to be exported.
@param aCerts The array of all certificates to be exported.
void
exportPKCS12File(in nsISupports aToken, in nsILocalFile aFile, in unsigned long count, [array, size_is(count)] in nsIX509Cert aCerts)
Will find a certificate based on its dbkey
retrieved by getting the dbKey attribute of
the certificate.
@param aDBkey Database internal key, as obtained using
attribute dbkey in nsIX509Cert.
@param aToken Optionally limits the scope of
this function to a token device.
Can be null to mean any token.
Find a certificate by email address.
@param aToken Optionally limits the scope of
this function to a token device.
Can be null to mean any token.
@param aEmailAddress The email address to be used as the key
to find the certificate.
@return The matching certificate if found.
Given a nickname and optionally a token,
locate the matching certificate.
@param aToken Optionally limits the scope of
this function to a token device.
Can be null to mean any token.
@param aNickname The nickname to be used as the key
to find a certificate.
@return The matching certificate if found.
Obtain a list of certificate nicknames from the database.
What the name is depends on type:
user, ca, or server cert - the nickname
email cert - the email address
@param aToken Optionally limits the scope of
this function to a token device.
Can be null to mean any token.
@param aType Type of certificate to obtain
See certificate type constants in nsIX509Cert.
@param count The number of nicknames in the returned array
@param certNameList The returned array of certificate nicknames.
void
findCertNicknames(in nsISupports aToken, in unsigned long aType, out unsigned long count, [array, size_is(count)] out wstring certNameList)
Find the email encryption certificate by nickname.
@param aNickname The nickname to be used as the key
to find the certificate.
@return The matching certificate if found.
Find the email signing certificate by nickname.
@param aNickname The nickname to be used as the key
to find the certificate.
@return The matching certificate if found.
An array of all known OCSP responders within the scope of the certificate database. @return Array of OCSP responders, entries are QIable to nsIOCSPResponder.
Use this to import a stream sent down as a mime type into the certificate database on the default token. The stream may consist of one or more certificates. @param data The raw data to be imported @param length The length of the data to be imported @param type The type of the certificate, see constants in nsIX509Cert @param ctx A UI context.
void
importCertificates([array, size_is(length)] in octet data, in unsigned long length, in unsigned long type, in nsIInterfaceRequestor ctx)
Import certificate(s) from file
@param aToken Optionally limits the scope of
this function to a token device.
Can be null to mean any token.
@param aFile Identifies a file that contains the certificate
to be imported.
@param aType Describes the type of certificate that is going to
be imported. See type constants in nsIX509Cert.
Import another person's email certificate into the database. @param data The raw data to be imported @param length The length of the data to be imported @param ctx A UI context.
void
importEmailCertificate([array, size_is(length)] in octet data, in unsigned long length, in nsIInterfaceRequestor ctx)
Import a PKCS#12 file containing cert(s) and key(s) into the database.
@param aToken Optionally limits the scope of
this function to a token device.
Can be null to mean any token.
@param aFile Identifies a file that contains the data
to be imported.
Import a server machine's certificate into the database. @param data The raw data to be imported @param length The length of the data to be imported @param ctx A UI context.
void
importServerCertificate([array, size_is(length)] in octet data, in unsigned long length, in nsIInterfaceRequestor ctx)
Import a personal certificate into the database, assuming the database already contains the private key for this certificate. @param data The raw data to be imported @param length The length of the data to be imported @param ctx A UI context.
void
importUserCertificate([array, size_is(length)] in octet data, in unsigned long length, in nsIInterfaceRequestor ctx)
Query whether a certificate is trusted for a particular use.
@param cert Obtain the stored trust of this certificate.
@param certType The type of the certificate. See nsIX509Cert.
@param trustType A single bit from the usages constants defined
within this interface.
@return Returns true if the certificate is trusted for the given use.
Modify the trust that is stored and associated to a certificate within
a database. Separate trust is stored for
One call manipulates the trust for one trust type only.
See the trust type constants defined within this interface.
@param cert Change the stored trust of this certificate.
@param type The type of the certificate. See nsIX509Cert.
@param trust A bitmask. The new trust for the possible usages.
See the trust constants defined within this interface.
