importing CAs into the certificate store
passfree
which will be used for development and testing web applications, (all
in one development and testing environment). The extension makes use
of one binary component which I conveniently called SSL Pipe. The pipe
simply wraps an input and output stream into ssl and provides an
alternative input and output stream for communication.
The module works! It works, although I cannot find how to test it
inside firefox. I tried to use the certutil within my profile folder
in order to create a TestCA, but my attempt failed with a strange IO
error. I also tried to create a cert with openssl and import it into
"Your Certificates" tab under the certManager but that failed too.
What I need to know is how can this be achieved? How can I import a my
TestCA into the profile cert databases so that I can use it by
PK11_FindCertFromNickname function?
Many thanks in advance.

If you haven't yet tested it, how do you know it works?

That's not enough information for anyone to be able to help you.
