Requirements

If you are going to use certificates from a Certificate Authority, be aware that you must install the following operating system package:

system SUNWscpu Source Compatibility, (Usr)

Otherwise the install_skip_keys command will fail.

The install_skip_keys command is not used to add someone else's certificate. It is only used to install local identities for CA key packages.

The Example 2-1 shows installing a SunCAglobal key and certificate from diskettes. After installing the key and certificate, because you have added a new local identity, you must either run the skipd_restart command or reboot your system to initialize the key manager.

Example 2-1 Installing a SunCA Global Key and Certificate from Diskette

# install_skip_keys -icg /floppy/unnamed_floppy
Added CA certificate as ca-slot 0

Added local identity slot 3

added 0a1030cc to database
/usr/sbin/install_skip_keys: you should now reboot the machine to initialize SKIP.

For more information on install_skip_keys, see Chapter 4, Using the Command-Line Interface and the man pages.
