Hi, We have a Linux system with multiple user accounts, and Thunderbird as email client for all users.

The users have a shared email address for secure email, using S/MIME encryption. When a user receives a signature from someone, this user grants a trust relation, and can start sending encrypted emails. Is there an easy way to set the received signature as a trusted certificate globally for all users on the system ? I hope we don't need to log in for every user, and add every new certificate we receive as trusted for every user account ?

As each user should have their own profile, then their certificates will not be shared.

looking over the situation there is support for using the OS store in OSX and Windows but the suggestion of linux is ans I quote. "On Linux, certificates can be programmatically imported by using p11-kit-trust. So from p11-kit (add the module using the “Security Devices” manager in Preferences or using the modutil utility).

For modutil descriptions see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS/Reference/NSS_tools_:_modutil
