Hi,
I've spent the best part of the evening trying to figure out how to
import my personal digital certificate into my profile in Imp, but
had no joy. I am using -CVS, and I am all synced and up to date with
the repository.
I've ticked the box for S/MIME support, and certainly mails that come
in are being checked and marked as signed, and have read the help
files all around the S/MIME area. I can also add certificates to the
address book for users (there is a link for "Import public key" in
the S/MIME options). However there is no option at all to add my own
private certificates. I was expecting this to be near "Your S/MIME
Public/Private Certificates" - and logically thought it would be a
separate option to the public certificates.
If I create a new mail and tick the option of signing it, I get asked
for a passphrase, but no passphrase I have tried actually is
accepted. I've tried importing all manner of keys into the public
store but to no avail..
What am I missing here?
Reuben
