PGP

PKCS12 files generated from EJBCA works excellent as PGP-keys.

Netscape/Mozilla Key Generation

For Netscape/Mozilla to be able to verify client certificates the CA-certificates must have the extensions BasicConstraints and AuthorityKeyIdentifier. Client certificates also need AuthorityKeyIdentifier

There is new key generation using javascript, generating a CRMF request:
JavaScript crypto.

Microsoft Internet Explorer Key Generation

For MSIE to verify client certs, the ordering in the DN must be strictly the same in both client and CA certs. Possibly that it must also be in a specific order.

There is some bug that required a "nocache" meta tag to eliminate duplicate sending of certificate request. This duplicate sending will result in wrong behaviour, since user status will be wrong.
