Hi guys,

is there a vbscript programmer around who can
investigate the old vbscript code in the webdb
source and who is able to update the
vbscript code to the required needs ?

related bug #'s
https://bugs.cacert.org/view.php?id=964
https://bugs.cacert.org/view.php?id=918

Bug #918 is an arbitration case based fix:
(a20110312.1) Weak keys: /pages/account/.. 4.php, 17.php to combine ?
one idea was to merge the both above named scripts
to a new file: /includes/keygen.php


the 2nd issue with this code is to add a keysize
selection box for keysizes >= 1024  eg 2048, 4096
current code only allows and create keysizes of length 1024
vbscript needs to be improved with select box key size and lower limit to
2048
based on https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA:MD5and1024

current code is based on the "old" win32
Api CertEnroll (MS crypto provider)
vista and win7 works with other engine !CryptoAPI (?) =>
 Cryptography API: Next Generation 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa833130%28v=VS.85%29.aspx
read addtl. notes under https://bugs.cacert.org/view.php?id=964#c2249
relates to IE8 problem, that certs cannot be created


summary:
* change keysize
* merge 2 scripts to one
* fix on script 1 needs fix in 2nd script too,
  solutions: include, one file, or comment fix script 2 too 


further related bug numbers:  related 927, 901, 847 
* related patch files, /pages/account/ 3,4,16,17; /include/account.php
* there are other vbscript pages: ../account/ 6 + 19 

A developers testserver image can be downloaded from the
Software-Assessment project team wiki pages


Any volunteers around to pickup this little project
with codename "BlackJack" and to bring it to success ?

The full webdb source is
- included in the testserver developers image -or-
- under www.cacert.org - About - Sourcecode
  http://www.cacert.org/src-lic.php  -or-
- via git://git-cacert.it-sls.de/cacert.git  -or-
- via git://git-cacert.it-sls.de/cacert-devel.git
