Bug 1712184 NSS tools manpages need to be updated to reflect that sqlite is the default database.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
update certutil.xml pk12util.xml modutil.xml and signver.xml to reflect the fact
|
|
|
|
|
the the sql database is default. Many of these also has examples of specifying
|
|
|
|
|
sql:dirname which is now the default. I did not replace them with dbm:dirname since
|
|
|
|
|
we don't want to encourage regressing back. The one exception is in the paragraph
|
|
|
|
|
explaining how to get to the old database format.

A certificate contains an expiration date in itself, and expired certificates are easily rejected. However, certificates can also be revoked before they hit their expiration date. Checking whether a certificate has been revoked requires validating the certificate. Validation can also be used to ensure that the certificate is only used for the purposes it was initially issued for. Validation is carried out by the <option>-V</option> command option.

<para>
|
|
|
|
|
The trust settings (which relate to the operations that a certificate is allowed to be used for) can be changed after a certificate is created or added to the database. This is especially useful for CA certificates, but it can be performed for any type of certificate.

|

<para>
|

|
|
|
Certificates can be issued in <emphasis>chains</emphasis> because every certificate authority itself has a certificate; when a CA issues a certificate, it essentially stamps that certificate with its own fingerprint. The <option>-O</option> prints the full chain of a certificate, going from the initial CA (the root CA) through ever intermediary CA to the actual certificate. For example, for an email certificate with two CAs in the chain:

The device which stores certificates -- both external hardware devices and internal software databases -- can be blanked and reused. This operation is performed on the device which stores the data, not directly on the security databases, so the location must be referenced through the token name (<option>-h</option>) as well as any directory path. If there is no external token used, the default value is internal.

|

<para>
|
|
|
|
|
Many networks or applications may be using older BerkeleyDB versions of the certificate database (<filename>cert8.db</filename>). Databases can be upgraded to the new SQLite version of the database (<filename>cert9.db</filename>) using the <option>--upgrade-merge</option> command option or existing databases can be merged with the new <filename>cert9.db</filename> databases using the <option>---merge</option> command.

</para>

<para>
|
|
|
|
|
The <option>--upgrade-merge</option> command must give information about the original database and then use the standard arguments (like <option>-d</option>) to give the information about the new databases. The command also requires information that the tool uses for the process to upgrade and write over the original database.
