To Register PKCS#11 Library File

1. Type the following command to add the Solaris crypto framework to network security services (NSS) in the config directory

   $ cd <install-dir>/<instance-dir>/lib/modutil -dbdir <install-dir>/<instance-dir>/config -nocertdb -add "scf" -libfile /usr/lib/libpkcs11.so -mechanisms RSA

2. Verify the registration using the following command:

   $cd <install-dir>/<instance-dir>/lib/modutil -dbdir <install-dir>/<instance-dir>/config -nocertdb -list

   For more information on creating server certificates, see Requesting a Certificate

   If certificates exists in the NSS database, you can export or import the certificates using the following pk12util command:

   $pk12util -o server.pk12 -d . -n <server-cert>

   $pk12util -i server.pk12 -d . -h "Sun Software PKCS#11 softtoken"

   Note –

   By default, certutil/pk12util searches the databases for cert8.db and key3.db. Add -P as the prefix for the Web Server, which uses the alternate names https-instance-hostname-cert8.db and https-instance-hostname-key3.db.
