Firefox page missing certificate installation #204

Closed bnordgren closed 6 years ago

bnordgren commented 6 years ago

Description of Issue:

Firefox page (https://github.com/GSA/piv-guides/blob/staging/_engineering/01_firefox.md) is missing the necessary step of importing all CA certs in the trust chain from the PIV to the root.

Details of Issue:

CA certificates need to be imported or Firefox won't use the PIV user certificate. Additionally, upon import, the certificate must be trusted to verify email senders.

To verify successful operation, the user should navigate to the "View Certificates" screen, click the personal certificates tab, click one of the certs on their piv card, and ensure that Firefox can validate the certificate.

This comment is correct - PIV issuer needs to be imported to allow authentication.

Assigning to self.
