Distributing an internal CA - interim solution
Posted: Fri Jun 19, 2009 5:22 am
Hi,
I thought I let all know about how I have implemented an interim solution to the problem described here (http://forums.frontmotion.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=600) in regards to distributing an internal CA for use with Firefox (automated via Active Directory Group Policy for Internet Explorer and this brings Firefox into line with that somewhat)
My solution has been to build an internal webpage to replace the "You've been updated to the latest version of Firefox" page with instructions and a link on how to re-import our internal CA certificate.
I do this by using the FrontMotion Firefox CE and put a entry into my Mozilla.adm policy for startup.homepage_override_url to point to this new site.
You can verify this is distributed checking in the about:config and it should be there.
Firefox reads this entry and instead points my users at our internal page on each update rather than directly to the Mozilla "Firefox Updated" page that was the default setting before.
I hope this helps someone else.
