Methods
Inform the user there are problems with the trust of a certificate,
and request a decision from the user.
The certificate presented by the server is no longer valid because
the validity period has expired.
@param socketInfo A network communication context that can be used to obtain more information
about the active connection.
@param cert The certificate that was presented by the server.
@return true if the user decided to connect anyway, false if the user decided to not connect
boolean
confirmCertExpired(in nsIInterfaceRequestor socketInfo, in nsIX509Cert cert)
Inform the user there are problems with the trust of a certificate,
and request a decision from the user.
The hostname mentioned in the server's certificate is not the hostname
that was used as a destination address for the current connection.
@param socketInfo A network communication context that can be used to obtain more information
about the active connection.
@param targetURL The URL that was used to open the current connection.
@param cert The certificate that was presented by the server.
@return true if the user decided to connect anyway, false if the user decided to not connect
boolean
confirmMismatchDomain(in nsIInterfaceRequestor socketInfo, in AUTF8String targetURL, in nsIX509Cert cert)
Inform the user there are problems with the trust of a certificate,
and request a decision from the user.
The UI should offer the user a way to look at the certificate in detail.
The following is a sample UI message to be shown to the user:
Unable to verify the identity of %S as a trusted site.
Possible reasons for this error:
- Your browser does not recognize the Certificate Authority
that issued the site's certificate.
- The site's certificate is incomplete due to a
server misconfiguration.
- You are connected to a site pretending to be %S,
possibly to obtain your confidential information.
Please notify the site's webmaster about this problem.
Before accepting this certificate, you should examine this site's
certificate carefully. Are you willing to to accept this certificate
for the purpose of identifying the Web site %S?
o Accept this certificate permanently
x Accept this certificate temporarily for this session
o Do not accept this certificate and do not connect to this Web site
@param socketInfo A network communication context that can be used to obtain more information
about the active connection.
@param cert The certificate that is not trusted and that is having the problem.
@param certAddType The user's trust decision. See constants defined above.
@return true if the user decided to connect anyway, false if the user decided to not connect
boolean
confirmUnknownIssuer(in nsIInterfaceRequestor socketInfo, in nsIX509Cert cert, out short certAddType)
Inform the user there are problems with the trust of a certificate,
and request a decision from the user.
The Certificate Authority (CA) that issued the server's certificate has issued a
Certificate Revocation List (CRL).
However, the application does not have a current version of the CA's CRL.
Due to the application configuration, the application disallows the connection
to the remote site.
@param socketInfo A network communication context that can be used to obtain more information
about the active connection.
@param targetURL The URL that was used to open the current connection.
@param cert The certificate that was presented by the server.
