Table 10–1 Certificate Files

File Name 

Type 

Description 

cert8.db, key3.db, secmod.db

Binary 

Contains the data for certificates, keys, and cryptographic modules. 

Can be manipulated using the certadmin script.

If necessary, these files can be shared between the Portal Server host and gateway components or the Gateway. 

.jsspass

hidden text file 

Contains the encrypted password for the SRA key database. 

.nickname

hidden text file 

Stores the names of the token and certificate that the Gateway needs to use in the format token-name:certificate-name.

If you are using the default token (the token on the default internal software encryption module), omit the token name. In most cases, the .nickname file stores only the certificate name.

As an administrator, you can modify the certificate name in this file. The certificate that you specify is now used by the Gateway.
