#47572 Separate SSL certificate and attribute encryption certificate
Closed: wontfix 3 years ago by mreynolds. Opened 10 years ago by beall.

The SSL engine has 'nsSSLPersonalitySSL' to declare which certificate should be used for SSL.

It would be useful for the attribute encryption engine to have a similar option so that, if not set, by default it would use the SSL cert, but optionally it could be set so that a different certificate can be selected by name so that the two can be separated.

In this way, SSL certificates can be updated every couple of years when they expire, but the attribute encryption certificate can be set to a long-lived self-signed certificate which does not have to change (thus requiring data export/reimport) when the public facing cert does.
