So, when I see a Friendly Name in the CA certs in a Trusted Root Store
(in any browser for example), how did the friendly name get there?  A
PKCS#12 file always includes the private key, right?  The private keys
of Trusted Root CA certs are certainly not submitted to the browser
vendor.

Regards,
Don.

There isn't a DN component or extension called "friendly name". It is
only an attribute in PKCS#12 files.
