Using certutil for Client Certificate Management

Certutil is a command-line utility that can create and modify cert7.db and key3.db database files. It can also list, generate, modify, or delete certificates within the cert7.db file and create or change the password, generate new public and private key pairs, display the contents of the key database, or delete key pairs within the key3.db file. The key and certificate management process usually begins with creating keys in the key database, then generating and managing certificates in the certificate database.
