Hi, I am looking for a way to programmatically install/import a
certificate into Netscape.
Does anyone know how netscape stores certificates, or maybe there is a
SDK to use for such purposes ?

Any help appreciated
Thanx in advance.

That may involve changing the registry value. However at first you can try
before you change registry:

1. Start Netscape
2. File-> Open Page, then select the CA certificate you want to install.
3. If it start installing to IE keystore, then you need to make some change
to the registry.
4. add the followig entry to the registry:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.cer]
@="CERFile"
"Content Type"="application/x-x509-ca-cert"
5. Restart Netscape and follow step 1 to 3. Now at step 3, it will start
installing to Netscape keystore.

Hope this can help.

Netscpae store certificae in .DB file. In each user profile directory, you
should be able to find cert7.db, key3.db, secmod.db, signed.db, signed.db,
signed0.db. However I am not sure if there any SDK provided by Netscape for
manipulating the above db file.
