Need to generate self-signed certs for client and server with WiFi debugging. Probably simplest to have a purpose-built interface specific to DevTools. Can't see a JS accessible general API at the moment.
(In reply to David Keeler (:keeler) [use needinfo?] from comment #1) > This is test-only at the moment, but might prove useful/interesting: > http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/7883d8e9f210/security/pkix/test/ > lib/pkixtestutil.h#l95 Thanks, that's one example I've been looking at. :) Also noticed the DTLS code for media[1] seems to do something similar as well.

Attached patch DevTools security cert generator (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
David, can you review the C++ code here? Panos, since I'm adding a new "security" directory to toolkit/devtools, I wanted at least on DevTools peer to be aware. :) Also, I will add JS security bits in future bugs to this new directory that both the client and server will make use of to implement authentication and encryption, and I will likely have you review those as well. Try: https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=560e7fb406f8

I think it's important to support this case, so I am now triggering PSM to prompt for the password if needed. Also, I added an attribute on the service that can be checked to see if a prompt would appear. > @@ +101,5 @@ > > + ScopedSECKEYPublicKey publicKey; > > + SECKEYPublicKey* tempPublicKey; > > + privateKey = PK11_GenerateKeyPair(slot, CKM_EC_KEY_PAIR_GEN, &keyParams, > > + &tempPublicKey, PR_TRUE /* token */, > > + PR_TRUE /* sensitive */, nullptr); > > use true/false instead of PR_TRUE/PR_FALSE Fixed all of these. > @@ +119,5 @@ > > + if (!certRequest) { > > + return NS_ERROR_FAILURE; > > + } > > + > > + // Valid from one day before to 2 years after > > How about 1 year?

gps, can review the build bits here? The rest of the patch already has r+ from previous reviews.

The moz-git-tools export still insists on saying the moz.build was copied from another similar file... anyway, it's definitely a new file.
