Installing non-self signed software Digital IDs

Hi all,
to the best of my knowledge Acrobat allows installation of digital IDs either in software format (PKCS#12 keystores) or in hardware format (PKCS#11 HSMs). As far as the former is concerned, only self-signed certificates are allowed (PKCS#12 dows not support trustStore certificate attribute). My business case is that Digital IDs are formulated as non-self signed certificates delivered in JKS keystore. Unfortunately currently Acrobat forbids the installation of these IDs.
Does anyone know if this is going to change in the future?
Thank you in advance,
Regards,
Paul.

Hi Dom,
If you enable FIPS mode in Acrobat or Reader, then the ability to create a self-signed digital ID is disabled. You want to set the following registry entry (making sure Acrobat or Reader is closed):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\<version>\AVGeneral
bFIPSMode=1
or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\<version>\AVGeneral
bFIPSMode=1
This was introduced in version 8.1 so <version> will be either "8.0" or "9.0". Also, this will only works on Windows; the FIPS compliance setting was not implemented on the Mac or Linux platforms.

How do I install this self-signed SSL certificate?

I haven't been able to connect to the jabber server I've been using (phcn.de) for quite some time now, so I filed a bug report with mcabber. The friendly people there told me to install phcn.de's self-signed certificate, but I can't figure out for the life of me how to do that.
I know I can download something resembling a certificate using
$ gnutls-cli --print-cert -p 5223 phcn.de
Which does give me something to work with:
Resolving 'phcn.de'...
Connecting to '88.198.14.54:5223'...

Hi,
I recently found out a way how to install test or self-signed certificates and use it with S1SE.
See:
http://www.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/SSL-Certificates-HOWTO.html
Follow the instructions there
1. Create CA
2. Create root ca certificate
Now install the root-ca-certificate in S1SE -> Security>Certificate Management and Install a "Trusted Certificate Authority".
Paste the contents of the file: cacert.pem into the message-text box.
Then restart the server. Now your CA-Cert should be visible in the Manage Certificates menu.
The next step is to send a certificate-request from S1SE to your e-mail-address.
The contents of the e-mail the server sends to you (certificate request) must be pasted into the file: newreq.pem.
Now just sign the Request:
CA.pl -sign
The last step is that you have to paste the contents of the file newcert.pem into the message-box of the Security>Certificate Management - now under the option Certificate for "This Server".
Then you have to reboot the server/instance again and it should work with your certificate.

Dominic

How do i install a self signed server certificate

After using the admin tool to generate a request CSR, how do I sign this myself for testing purposes so I can install it and therefore run using https?
I have keytool and certutil both available on the system.
My most recent solution was to cut and paste the request to www.thawte.com/cgi/server/test.exe and it would return a certificate that was good for 21 days. This however is not the solution I am looking for.
Thanks

How-to install a self-signed certificate on Sony Ericcson W350

I am a developer and I am writing a j2me application for a Sony Ericcson W350 phone which needs to be able to use the phones SMS capabilities. I have a signed .jar and .jad file with a self-signed certificate. However, the phone is still treating my application as an untrusted third party app. I think this is occuring because my self-signed certificate isn't in the java certificate store on the phone. Is there a way to load my self-signed certificate into the java certificate store? I have tried copying it over to the phone via bluetooth and usb and installing it through the filesystem, however there isn't an option to install the certificate when browsing to it from the phone's filesystem. Any help would be much appricated.

Deactivating existing Java certificates prevented me from installing the .jad file. I accessed the phone's file system using both Sony PC Companion with USB and using the OS file browser over bluetooth.

Installing Non-Video Related Software

So back when I was reading the do's and don'ts of video editing on the Tweakers Page, it said not to install software unrelated to video editing, such as office suites. I can understand that installing other software may be a burden to accomplishing more successful video editing... but the problem is that I don't know why.
Is installing unrelated software going to affect the process of video editing because:
Complex programs have the chance of interfering with Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014?
The unrelated program may be reading/writing to an HDD while rendering/exporting, thus slowing down the process?
If 2 is true, would there be much of a difference then when using an SSD instead of an HDD since SSDs work so differently?
The unrelated program takes up more space on the boot drive?
Some other reason?
As you can tell, I don't know WHY installing unrelated software on the boot drive is on the "don't" list of video editing. It makes sense that it would be, just because, but I would like to know the real reason.

I have 1 computer so do not have the option of not installing other software, and I have never had a problem (the other software does NOT include any other video software that could install a codec)
So, for question #2 you simply need to remember that it is YOUR choice what you have running while doing video editing... if you don't want some other software using computer cycles, don't run it while editing

HT2476 Installing non-App store software: How?

I want to install software not available from the App store. Mountain Lion won't let me do it. Is there a way around it? The software is to drive an interactive whiteboard for schools use. ActiveInspire by Promethean.
Hoping you can help. Thanks...

Got it thanks! I looked there but didn't see that option at first. Another way other than allowing all apps to be installed is to leave it locked CTRL click and select OPEN form the menu. This allows it to run (an installer in my case)
Cheers,

Installing self signed certificate

I'm trying to install a self signed certificate in iPhone OS 3.1.3 so that I can securely access a web service at home via mobile Safari and an application that uses the same web service. I've tried emailing myself the certificate and installing it but Safari still prompts with it's "Accept Website Certificate" warning. The certificate is clearly installed under Settings->General->Profiles.
I've also tried installing the certificate via iPhone Configuration Utility with the same result. I also followed these steps on my iPad and everything worked flawlessly which points to an OS issue. I was wondering if anyone else has seen this behavior?
Thanks!

I have a self-signed cert on my 5.2 DS. I used a version of certutil that ships with DS52. The cert DB files have the following name format under the alias directory, slapd-instancename-cert7.db. For auto startup you;ll need to create a slapd-instancename-pin.txt file that contains the string "Internal (Software) Token: yourDBpassword"
If you have more questions, ask away.
HTH,

Create/install self signed ssl cert

I'm evaluating the platform edition server. Is there a quick way to create and install a self signed ssl server certificate (I'm running Windows 2000 pro).

Step by Step Instructions for Installing Self Signed Certificate using Certificate Modification Tool

I am looking for some step by step instructions for installing the self signed certificate from my Microsoft SBS 2003 server on a Treo 755p and 750p. In particular I need some help with the form of the actual certificate and how to use the Certificate Modification tool.
Some questions I have are as follows:
1. When I install the certificate on a Windows Mobile device I used an exported version of the certificate. This export is done using the DER x.509 format. Is that the same form I’ll need for the Palm? Do I need some other form? Can/should I just use sbscert.cer file that is generated when SBS is configured?
2. Does the self signed cert need to be installed on the computer being used to update the Palm or do we just need to be able to access the appropriate .CER file?
3. There are three things included in the PalmCertificatesTool.zip file:
                                Trusted CAs (folder)
                                Cert2pdb.exe
                                PalmCertificates.exe
   How do I use these tools?
4. It looks like the PalmCertificates.exe file opens an interface that will allow me to browse to the desired .CER file. Then I suppose I use the < Generate PDB > to create something that needs to then be uploaded to the Palm device? Not having any real experience with a Palm device how do I upload and install this file?
5. Once uploaded do I do something on the device to install it?
If there is some white paper that provides step by step instructions on doing this that would be great.
Thanks,
Walt Bell

Thanks for that.
I have one question after reading the article 43375:
The article has you "Turn of AutoSync" and then "Reset the device". It then indicates the device should be left idle.
The next step relates to running the PalmCertificates.exe, navigate to the certificate file and add it and then run the < Generate PDB > button. Should the device be connected to the computer during this process? If so, at what point after the reset do you connect it to the computer?
Thanks!

How to install self-signed ROOT CA certs in safari 4 for windows?

Hello, I do some web development and I use Safari for windows to test all my works for mac users, since v4 I haven't been able to test my apps because safari ask me for a certificate to use for connecting to the test environment (uses self signed cert chain) while other browsers (opera, firefox, IE) just alert me of an untrusted CA certificate. How do I install the CA certificate or whatever I need to do to test my apps on safari 4 windows? thanks for your support

For what it's worth, you can install a self signed cert only for pages that you go directly to. So if the self signed page is one that is included in page from another server (like images being served from a separate content server) you can install the cert but it still won't serve that content until.....you go directly to that self signed page. Also, this solution only works for the currently running browser and as soon as you shut down the browser the cert is apparently lost. Annoying as heck especially if you happen to be a shop setup that way and you are testing your site on Safari for Windows. arrrgggg! Dear Apple, please fix so we can test that our sites work with your browser.....help us help you!

How to Install a trusted self signed certificate in iPhone?

Hi,
I'm trying to install a self signed CA certificate in an iPhone 4S (IOS 5.1) but always the certificate is showed as "Not Trusted".
I have an iPhone 4 (same IOS 5.1) and when I install the same certificate it appear as Trusted. I have the same behavior in some iPads.
I think this is the reason because my VPN is not working. When a try to use a Cisco VPN with certificate always receive the "Could not validate the server certificate." error in the devices how can't trust in my CA.
Anyone have a clue about how to resolve this?

You need to use a profile updater like iPhone configuration utility.
1. Create a configuration profilecredential.
2. In the profile go in credential and add/import the root certificate from the authority you want to have.
3. Install the profile on the device.
I should work.

How to install self-signed certificate with iOS 4?

I've been trying to install a self-signed certificate in iOS 4 with no avail. I have a webserver at home in which I connect to via SSL using a self-signed cert. It used to work in 3.1.3; it would kick out a dialog, but you were able to continue to the page. Now with iOS 4, that is no longer the case, I am unable to view the site.
I have tried several things. I have tried emailing the cert. to myself and installing it. I get it installed but says it's untrusted and am not able to view the site. I have tried converting my .pem that is on my server to .p12 and that didn't work. I tried going to the site in Safari on my Mac and adding the cert. to the keychain and then syncing; that didn't work. I tried taking that cert. in the keychain, making sure it was trusted, exporting it to .cer and adding that to a configuration profile I created in the iPhone Configuration Utility.. that did not work despite the fact that it showed it as trusted. Am I doing something wrong or missing something here?
