[ILUG] [Slightly OT] Setting up a certificate authority

[John Mc Donald]

Hi,

A couple of people in my department have set up a certificate authority
for our
internal mail. Most of the people in the department use M$ Outlook with
which
there are no problems. I, on the other hand, use Netscape and want to
keep
using it. Now, the admin for the CA has given me a p12 key and I have
imported
it into Netscape. The only thing is it refuses to use it due to the fact
that the key
was issued by an untrusted CA.

My question is, is there any way to get Netscape to trust a particular
CA? The
version I'm using is 4.7. If the answer is no, does anyone know if there
are any
plans of allowing this in future releases of Netscape/Mozilla or if it
is already
supported by current versions?

TIA,
John.
