If a [% terms.bug %] is in one of those groups, [% terms.Bugzilla %] +will not send unencrypted email about it. To receive encrypted email rather than just a "something changed" placeholder, you must provide either +a S/MIME or a GPG/PGP key on the <a href="[% urlbase FILTER none %]userprefs.cgi?tab=securemail">SecureMail preferences tab</a>.<br> +<br> +In addition, if you have uploaded a S/MIME or GPG/PGP key using the <a href="[% urlbase FILTER none %]userprefs.cgi?tab=securemail"> +SecureMail preferences tab</a>, if you request your password to be reset, [% terms.Bugzilla %] will send the reset email encrypted and you will +be required to decrypt it to view the reset instructions. + +<h2>S/MIME</h2> + +<b>S/MIME Keys must be in PEM format - i.e. Base64-encoded text, with the first line containing BEGIN CERTIFICATE.</b></p> + +<p> +S/MIME certificates can be obtained from a number of providers. You can get a free one from <a href="https://www.startssl.com/?app=12">StartCom</a>. +Once you have it, <a href="https://www.startssl.com/?app=25#52">export it from your browser as a .p12 file and import it into your mail client</a>. +You'll need to provide a password when you export - pick a strong one, and then back up the .p12 file somewhere safe.</p> + +<p> +Then, you need to convert it to a .pem file. If you have OpenSSL installed, one way is as follows:</p> + +<p> +<code>openssl pkcs12 -in certificate.p12 -out certificate.pem -nodes</code></p> + +<p> +Open the .pem file in a text editor. You can recognise the public key because it starts "BEGIN CERTIFICATE" and ends "END CERTIFICATE" and +has an appropriate friendly name (e.g. "StartCom Free Certificate Member's StartCom Ltd. ID"). It is <b>not</b> the section beginning +"BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY", and it is not any of the intermediate certificates or root certificates.</p> + +<p> +<b>Note: the .pem file has your private key in plaintext.
