Thunderbird and system-wide certificate authorities

I need to install a CA for a mail server that works for Thunderbird (technically icedove) and other mail clients.



Other mail clients are easy, I just take the following step:



cp ca.crt /usr/share/ca-certificates/trust-source/anchors
sudo update-ca-trust extract


And anything that uses my system CA will trust the server.



But Thunderbird only works if the following two conditions are met:




  • The cert is installed in my Thunderbird profile with the following command



    certutil -A -n my-ca-nickname -t "C,," -i ca.crt -d ~/.thunderbird/*.profile


  • The cert has not been installed system-wide using the update-ca-trust method


Why won't Thunderbird play nice? Why doesn't a system-wide CA install work with Thunderbird? And why does a system-wide CA actually block the profile-specific CA installation from working?



(Note: when I do a profile-specific installation, the CA shows up in the "manage certificates" window as a "Software Security Device", but when I do a system-wide installation the CA shows up as a "Builtin Object Token" and I don't understand the difference)



I am using Parabola Linux (derived from Archlinux) and Icedove version 52.5.0

          How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
