NAME¶
gencert - Generate a test NSS database for mod_nss
SYNOPSIS¶
gencert <destdir>
DESCRIPTION¶
A tool used to generate a self-signed CA as well as server and user certificates
for mod_nss testing.
This is used to generate a default NSS database for the mod_nss Apache module.
It does not test to see if an existing database already exists, so use with
care.
gencert will generate a new NSS database with the password
"httptest".
It generates a self-signed CA with the subject "CN=Certificate Shack,
O=example.com, C=US"
It also generates a certificate suitable for servers with the subject
"CN=<FQDN>, O=example.com, C=US", and a user certificate with
the subject "E=alpha@<FQDN>, CN=Frank Alpha, UID=alpha, OU=People,
O=example.com, C=US".
The nicknames it uses are:
-
CA: |
cacert |
Server certificate: |
Server-Cert |
User cert: |
alpha |
OPTIONS¶
- <destdir>
- Specifies the destination directory where the NSS databases will be
created.
