Kleopatra: Make creation of S/MIME certificate signing request accessible
Open, NormalPublic
Actions

Description

Edit 2025-07-21

We want to:

  • model the CSR after the OpenPGP key creation dialog, show only name and email, hide all other fields behind "advanced settings"
    • order of advanced settings: algorithm, usage, L, OU, O, C, additional mail addresses, DNS names, URIs
    • use simple multi line text inputs for the last 3 items
    • remove display of DN
  • show a Save File dialog after successful creation of the CSR instead of the result dialog.

This is the S/MIME counterpart of T5832: Kleopatra: Make OpenPGP certificate generation (with default settings) accessible.

I have closed T4699 as a duplicate of this, even though T4699 was about simplification but IMO this is the same underlying problem.

My wish would be to unify this more with the OpenPGP dialog. Only ask about Name and Mail and extend the OpenPGP dialog to accept more then one mail Adress similar to the S/MIME dialog. All other things for the CN should be hidden by default.
