4.2 modutil
The modutil tool is a command-line utility for managing PKCS #11 module information stored
in secmod.db files or hardware tokens. modutil can perform a variety of security database
operations:
• Adding and deleting PKCS #11 modules
• Changing passwords
• Setting defaults
• Listing module contents
• Enabling or disabling slots
• Enabling or disabling FIPS-140-1 compliance
• Assigning default providers for cryptographic operations
• Creating key3.db, cert8.db, and secmod.db security databases.
Security module database management is part of a process that typically involves managing key
databases (key3.db files) and certificate databases (cert8.db files). The key, certificate, and
PKCS #11 module management process generally begins with creating the keys and key database
necessary to generate and manage certificates and the certificate database.
