These new databases provide more accessibility and performance:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p> + cert9.db for certificates + </p></li><li class="listitem"><p> + key4.db for keys + </p></li><li class="listitem"><p> + pkcs11.txt, a listing of all of the PKCS #11 modules, contained in a new subdirectory in the security databases directory + </p></li></ul></div><p>Because the SQLite databases are designed to be shared, these are the <span class="emphasis"><em>shared</em></span> database type. The shared database type is preferred; the legacy format is included for backward compatibility.</p><p>By default, the tools (<span class="command"><strong>certutil</strong></span>, <span class="command"><strong>pk12util</strong></span>, <span class="command"><strong>modutil</strong></span>) assume that the given security databases use the SQLite type. +Using the legacy databases must be manually specified by using the <span class="command"><strong>dbm:</strong></span> prefix with the given security directory. For example:</p><pre class="programlisting">$ certutil -L -d dbm:/home/my/sharednssdb</pre><p>To set the legacy database type as the default type for the tools, set the <code class="envar">NSS_DEFAULT_DB_TYPE</code> environment variable to <code class="envar">dbm</code>:</p><pre class="programlisting">export NSS_DEFAULT_DB_TYPE="dbm"</pre><p>This line can be set added to the <code class="filename">~/.bashrc</code> file to make the change permanent.</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p> + https://wiki.mozilla.org/NSS_Shared_DB_Howto</p></li></ul></div><p>For an engineering draft on the changes in the shared NSS databases, see the NSS project wiki:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p> + https://wiki.mozilla.org/NSS_Shared_DB + </p></li></ul></div></div><div class="refsection"><a name="seealso"></a><h2>See Also</h2><p>pk12util (1)</p><p>modutil (1)</p><p><span class="command"><strong>certutil</strong></span> has arguments or operations that use features defined in several IETF RFCs.</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p> + http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5280 + </p></li><li class="listitem"><p> + http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1113 + </p></li><li class="listitem"><p> + http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1485 + </p></li></ul></div><p>The NSS wiki has information on the new database design and how to configure applications to use it.</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p> + https://wiki.mozilla.org/NSS_Shared_DB_Howto</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> + https://wiki.mozilla.org/NSS_Shared_DB + </p></li></ul></div></div><div class="refsection"><a name="resources"></a><h2>Additional Resources</h2><p>For information about NSS and other tools related to NSS (like JSS), check out the NSS project wiki at <a class="ulink" href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/" target="_top">http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/</a>.

Electronic software distribution over any network involves potential security problems. To help address some of these problems, you can associate digital signatures with the files in a JAR archive. Digital signatures allow SSL-enabled clients to perform two important operations:</p><p>* Confirm the identity of the individual, company, or other entity whose digital signature is associated with the files</p><p>* Check whether the files have been tampered with since being signed</p><p>If you have a signing certificate, you can use Netscape Signing Tool to digitally sign files and package them as a JAR file. An object-signing certificate is a special kind of certificate that allows you to associate your digital signature with one or more files.</p><p>An individual file can potentially be signed with multiple digital signatures. For example, a commercial software developer might sign the files that constitute a software product to prove that the files are indeed from a particular company. A network administrator manager might sign the same files with an additional digital signature based on a company-generated certificate to indicate that the product is approved for use within the company.</p><p>The significance of a digital signature is comparable to the significance of a handwritten signature. Once you have signed a file, it is difficult to claim later that you didn't sign it. In some situations, a digital signature may be considered as legally binding as a handwritten signature. Therefore, you should take great care to ensure that you can stand behind any file you sign and distribute.</p><p>For example, if you are a software developer, you should test your code to make sure it is virus-free before signing it. Similarly, if you are a network administrator, you should make sure, before signing any code, that it comes from a reliable source and will run correctly with the software installed on the machines to which you are distributing it.</p><p>Before you can use Netscape Signing Tool to sign files, you must have an object-signing certificate, which is a special certificate whose associated private key is used to create digital signatures. For testing purposes only, you can create an object-signing certificate with Netscape Signing Tool 1.3. When testing is finished and you are ready to disitribute your software, you should obtain an object-signing certificate from one of two kinds of sources:</p><p>* An independent certificate authority (CA) that authenticates your identity and charges you a fee. You typically get a certificate from an independent CA if you want to sign software that will be distributed over the Internet.</p><p>* CA server software running on your corporate intranet or extranet. Netscape Certificate Management System provides a complete management solution for creating, deploying, and managing certificates, including CAs that issue object-signing certificates.</p><p>You must also have a certificate for the CA that issues your signing certificate before you can sign files. If the certificate authority's certificate isn't already installed in your copy of Communicator, you typically install it by clicking the appropriate link on the certificate authority's web site, for example on the page from which you initiated enrollment for your signing certificate. This is the case for some test certificates, as well as certificates issued by Netscape Certificate Management System: you must download the the CA certificate in addition to obtaining your own signing certificate. CA certificates for several certificate authorities are preinstalled in the Communicator certificate database.</p><p>When you receive an object-signing certificate for your own use, it is automatically installed in your copy of the Communicator client software. Communicator supports the public-key cryptography standard known as PKCS #12, which governs key portability. You can, for example, move an object-signing certificate and its associated private key from one computer to another on a credit-card-sized device called a smart card.</p></div><div class="refsection"><a name="options"></a><h2>Options</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term">-b basename</span></dt><dd><p>Specifies the base filename for the .rsa and .sf files in the META-INF directory to conform with the JAR format.

With the NT version of Netscape Signing Tool, you must use the -d option with the -G option. With the Unix version of Netscape Signing Tool, omitting the -d option causes the tool to install the keys and certificate in the Communicator key and certificate databases. If you are installing the keys and certificate in the Communicator databases, you must exit Communicator before using this option; otherwise, you risk corrupting the databases. In all cases, the certificate is also output to a file named x509.cacert, which has the MIME-type application/x-x509-ca-cert. + +Unlike certificates normally used to sign finished code to be distributed over a network, a test certificate created with -G is not signed by a recognized certificate authority. Instead, it is self-signed. In addition, a single test signing certificate functions as both an object-signing certificate and a CA. When you are using it to sign objects, it behaves like an object-signing certificate. When it is imported into browser software such as Communicator, it behaves like an object-signing CA and cannot be used to sign objects. + +The -G option is available in Netscape Signing Tool 1.0 and later versions only.

It takes the nickname of the new certificate as an argument. The newly generated keys and certificate are installed into the key and certificate databases in the directory specified by the -d option. With the NT version of Netscape Signing Tool, you must use the -d option with the -G option. With the Unix version of Netscape Signing Tool, omitting the -d option causes the tool to install the keys and certificate in the Communicator key and certificate databases. In all cases, the certificate is also output to a file named x509.cacert, which has the MIME-type application/x-x509-ca-cert.</p><p>Certificates contain standard information about the entity they identify, such as the common name and organization name. Netscape Signing Tool prompts you for this information when you run the command with the -G option. However, all of the requested fields are optional for test certificates. If you do not enter a common name, the tool provides a default name. In the following example, the user input is in boldface:</p><pre class="programlisting">signtool -G MyTestCert + +using certificate directory: /u/someuser/.netscape +Enter certificate information. All fields are optional. Acceptable +characters are numbers, letters, spaces, and apostrophes. +certificate common name: Test Object Signing Certificate +organization: Netscape Communications Corp. +organization unit: Server Products Division +state or province: California +country (must be exactly 2 characters): US +username: someuser +email address: someuser@netscape.com +Enter Password or Pin for "Communicator Certificate DB": [Password will not echo] +generated public/private key pair +certificate request generated +certificate has been signed +certificate "MyTestCert" added to database +Exported certificate to x509.raw and x509.cacert.</pre><p>The certificate information is read from standard input. Therefore, the information can be read from a file using the redirection operator (<) in some operating systems. To create a file for this purpose, enter each of the seven input fields, in order, on a separate line. Make sure there is a newline character at the end of the last line. Then run signtool with standard input redirected from your file as follows:</p><pre class="programlisting">signtool -G MyTestCert inputfile</pre><p>The prompts show up on the screen, but the responses will be automatically read from the file.

Although you can run the tool at its most basic by issuing the ssltap command with no options other than hostname:port, the information you get in this way is not very useful. For example, assume your development machine is called intercept. The simplest way to use the debugging tool is to execute the following command from a command shell: + </p><pre class="programlisting">$ ssltap www.netscape.com</pre><p> +The program waits for an incoming connection on the default port 1924. In your browser window, enter the URL http://intercept:1924. The browser retrieves the requested page from the server at www.netscape.com, but the page is intercepted and passed on to the browser by the debugging tool on intercept. On its way to the browser, the data is printed to the command shell from which you issued the command. Data sent from the client to the server is surrounded by the following symbols: --> [ data ] Data sent from the server to the client is surrounded by the following symbols: +"left arrow"-- [ data ] The raw data stream is sent to standard output and is not interpreted in any way. This can result in peculiar effects, such as sounds, flashes, and even crashes of the command shell window. To output a basic, printable interpretation of the data, use the -h option, or, if you are looking at an SSL connection, the -s option. You will notice that the page you retrieved looks incomplete in the browser.
