#1398 Provide UI Javascript warning for missing Mozilla Crypto Object in the CA
Closed: Fixed Opened by jmagne.

Reopen Issue

The CA's UI has in the past relied upon a Mozilla crypto object to perform key generation and key archival tasks in our certificate enrollment UI.

Now that Mozilla has removed this crypto object with no replacement, the user is now greeted with puzzling errors when enrolling for certificates. One such example is when someone tried to apply for a dual use ECC cert. The result of this was a new ticket complaining about ECC support.

Although we are aware of the root cause of the problem, the users will not be.

The purpose of this ticket is to write a but of javascript that runs when the user first logs into the CA's UI. This javascript will detect for the absence of the crypto object. If said absence is confirmed, we should pop up a helpful Javascript warning box telling the user about the problem and tell them a brief list of operations that will not work.

This should hopefully aid in turning off the stream of related tickets.

Mozilla crypto object warning:
Provide simple textual warning when the user is using a browser that no longer supports the crypto object, which results in reduced CA certficat enrollment functionality. For simplicity provide the warning at the top of the main index page and at the top of the CA's services page. The services page is where the pkispawn of the CA points the uers after installation. The ticket originally called for a JS warnign but the simple text warning should be less intrusive and repetitive to the user.
