Here's a slightly trimmed summary (edited just to correct references to this thread) response I just emailed back...
Message to the EDITOR!
So can anyone explain it?
Explanation
Rob, I know you are a very busy man, but the other guys reading this article could have looked it up. I didn't know anything about all this terms before reading this article, but I has taken me less than a minute to find the answer and I am not a native English speaker. Internet is great... if you use it. So, come on guys, fire up those browsers and make those search engines crunch some databases.
Explanation
Hopefully this evening I will post a step-by-step guide of importing a self-made certificate. Right now it does not seem to work with my own, but I am working on it.

This is the kind of hint that targets some people with a specific need. If you don't know what a private certificate is, then you don't need to understand the hint. People targeted by this actually KNOW what that is and will understand the hint.
Message to the EDITOR!
Okay, so you're trying to say that if a reader doesn't understand a hint, they probably don't need to use that hint, right? I respectfully disagree.

If you are going to start adding CA Certs to you keychain, then you must have received instructions as to where to download the (PEM or DER formatted) Certificate, and you bloody well should know how to check the MD5 fingerprint of the Certificate, etc. If you don't know what the words in the above paragraph mean (or, at least, if you have not received explicit, detailed step-by-step instructions), then you shouldn't be adding CA Certs to you keychain. It takes only a minute or two to do a Google search to find out what all of the above means. This is not an undue burden on the reader(s) of this hint.

As a developer and administrator of internal applications, I am too cheap to spring for a Verisign or Thawte certificate. I therefore assume the responsibility of establishing the trust relationship that the certificate implies. |
