All rights reserved. +================================================================================ + +Purpose +------- + +This document describes how to build CACerts.dat (certificate store) and +certclients.dat (certificate client applications) files. These files are stored +on a device in c:\system\data\ directory. They are necessary for Software +Install and SSL/TLS. + +Certificates and trusters +------------------------- + +Every certificate stored in CACerts.dat has a set of UIDs associated with it, +each UID marking the certificate as good for a particular purpose (application). +Currently the following applications/UIDs are defined: + +- SW Install (268452523, or 0x100042AB)--certificate is suitable for software + install (SIS files); +- SW Install OCSP Signing (268478646, or 0x1000A8B6)--certificate is suitable + for OCSP checking (SIS files); +- MIDlet Installation (270506792, or 0x101F9B28)--certificate is good for Java + MIDlet installation, which includes OCSP checking; +- Server Authentication (268441661, or 0x1000183D)--certificate is suitable for + SSL/TLS server authentication. + +These UIDs are stored in certclients.dat file. Once certclients.dat is in +c:\system\data on the device, the Certificates Control Panel applet allows +manual assignment of applications to each certificate. + +Files needed +------------ + +The following files are needed to build a certificate store: + +- T_CERTSTORE.EXE test harness, which is located in security/certman/tcertstore; + build it from security/certman/group; +- bldcertstore.txt: test script located in security/certman/tcertstore/scripts; + you can modify it depending on which certificates/applications you want + included in the store. This script is exported into device's + c:\tcertstore\scripts. + +The following certificates are used for running tests: + +- Symbiana.der "Identity ACS Root"--Symbian application signing certificate that + is provided for reference only and is not used by tests +- Symbianb.der "Testing ACS Root"--Symbian application signing test certificate + that is provided for reference only and is not used by tests +- cacert.crt "TestCA"--SSL server CA certificate (self-signed) +- thawtetest.crt "Thawte Root"--SW Install certificate +- TOCSP-Root5-RSA.cer--SW Install and MIDlet Installation +- TOCSP-Signing5-RSA.cer--OCSP Signing + +These certificates are copied into c:\tappinst\certs\ directory on the device. + +Building the store +------------------ + +To build a certificate store, perform the following steps: + +1. Build the T_CERTSTORE test harness and export test files for appinst and + certman. + +2. Go to the appropriate build directory (udeb or urel) and run the following + command: + + t_certstore c:\tcertstore\scripts\bldcertstore.txt c:\bldcertstore.log + + This will build c:\system\data\cacerts.dat and c:\system\data\certclients.dat + with test certificates. If you need to add your own certificates, modify the + bldcertstore.txt script accordingly. The ‘console’ option is necessary to ensure + the tool can operate independently of the UI environment.
