Steps to create database files using the certutil utility
The following steps show you an example on how to create the security
database files, cert8.db and key3.db on your client system using the
certutil utility:
Step 1. Retrieve the Base64-Encoded certificate from the certificate server and
save it.
For example, get the Base64-Encoded certificate from the certificate
server and save it as the /tmp/mynew.cert file. This file should look
like:
--------------- BEGIN CERTIFICATE ------------------------------------
-MIICJjCCAY+gAwIBAgIBJDANBgkghkiG9w0BAQQFADBxMQswCQYDVQQGEwJVUzEL

--------------- END CERTIFICATE --------------------------------------
Step 2. Use the rm command to remove the old database files,
/etc/opt/ldapux/cert8.db and /etc/opt/ldapux/key3.db:
rm -f /etc/opt/ldapux/cert8.db /etc/opt/ldapux/key3.db
Step 3. Use the certutil utility with the -N option to initialize the new
database:
/opt/ldapux/contrib/bin/certutil -N -d /etc/opt/ldapux
Step 4. Add the Certificate Authority (CA) certificate or the LDAP server’s
certificate to the security database:
• To use the certutil command to add a CA certificate to the
database:
For example, the following command adds the CA certificate,
my-ca-cert, to the security database directory, /etc/opt/ldapux,
with the Base64-Encoded certificate request file, /tmp/mynew.cert:
/opt/ldapux/contrib/bin/certutil -A -n my-ca-cert -t \
"C,," -d /etc/opt/ldapux -a -i /tmp/mynew.cert
