Class CertificateManagerLauncher

java.lang.Object

ghidra.framework.main.certs.CertificateManagerLauncher

public class CertificateManagerLauncher
extends Object

Launches (or refocuses) the OS-native certificate manager used to view/manage the user's trusted CA certificates — the same tool Chrome/Edge expose via their own "Manage certificates" button. Supported on Windows and macOS only.

Windows: displays the native CryptUIDlgCertMgr dialog via WindowsCertMgrApp, launched as an independent Java process (that call blocks until the dialog is closed, so it must not run inside Ghidra's own JVM). A subsequent call while that process is still alive brings its window to the foreground instead of starting a second one.

macOS: launches Keychain Access via open -a, which itself focuses an already-running instance instead of starting a duplicate.

Method Details

launchOrFocus

public static void launchOrFocus()

Launch the platform certificate manager, or bring an already-launched instance to the foreground. Safe to call repeatedly/rapidly from the Swing thread; a single synchronized entry point is sufficient serialization since every operation performed here (starting a process, enumerating windows) returns quickly.
