.SH "NAME"
modutil \- Manage PKCS #11 module information within the security module database\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\fBmodutil\fR\ 'u
\fBmodutil\fR [\fIoptions\fR] [[\fIarguments\fR]]
.SH "STATUS"
.PP
This documentation is still work in progress\&. Please contribute to the initial review in
\m[blue]\fBMozilla NSS bug 836477\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The Security Module Database Tool,
\fBmodutil\fR, is a command\-line utility for managing PKCS #11 module information both within
secmod\&.db
files and within hardware tokens\&.
\fBmodutil\fR
can add and delete PKCS #11 modules, change passwords on security databases, set defaults, list module contents, enable or disable slots, enable or disable FIPS 140\-2 compliance, and assign default providers for cryptographic operations\&. This tool can also create certificate, key, and module security database files\&.
.PP
The tasks associated with security module database management are part of a process that typically also involves managing key databases and certificate databases\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
Running
\fBmodutil\fR
always requires one (and only one) option to specify the type of module operation\&. Each option may take arguments, anywhere from none to multiple arguments\&.
.PP
\fBOptions\fR
.PP
\-add modulename
.RS 4
Add the named PKCS #11 module to the database\&. Use this option with the
\fB\-libfile\fR,
\fB\-ciphers\fR, and
\fB\-mechanisms\fR
arguments\&.
.RE
.PP
\-changepw tokenname
.RS 4
Change the password on the named token\&. If the token has not been initialized, this option initializes the password\&. Use this option with the
\fB\-pwfile\fR
and
\fB\-newpwfile\fR
arguments\&. A
\fIpassword\fR
is equivalent to a personal identification number (PIN)\&.
.RE
.PP
\-chkfips
.RS 4
Verify whether the module is in the given FIPS mode\&.
\fBtrue\fR
means to verify that the module is in FIPS mode, while
\fBfalse\fR
means to verify that the module is not in FIPS mode\&.
.RE
.PP
\-create
.RS 4
Create new certificate, key, and module databases\&. Use the
\fB\-dbdir\fR
directory argument to specify a directory\&. If any of these databases already exist in a specified directory,
\fBmodutil\fR
returns an error message\&.
.RE
.PP
\-default modulename
.RS 4
Specify the security mechanisms for which the named module will be a default provider\&. The security mechanisms are specified with the
\fB\-mechanisms\fR
argument\&.
.RE
.PP
\-delete modulename
.RS 4
Delete the named module\&. The default NSS PKCS #11 module cannot be deleted\&.
.RE
.PP
\-disable modulename
.RS 4
Disable all slots on the named module\&. Use the
\fB\-slot\fR
argument to disable a specific slot\&.
.sp
The internal NSS PKCS #11 module cannot be disabled\&.
.RE
.PP
\-enable modulename
.RS 4
Enable all slots on the named module\&. Use the
\fB\-slot\fR
argument to enable a specific slot\&.
.RE
.PP
\-fips [true | false]
.RS 4
Enable (true) or disable (false) FIPS 140\-2 compliance for the default NSS module\&.
.RE
.PP
\-force
.RS 4
Disable
\fBmodutil\fR\*(Aqs interactive prompts so it can be run from a script\&. Use this option only after manually testing each planned operation to check for warnings and to ensure that bypassing the prompts will cause no security lapses or loss of database integrity\&.
.RE
.PP
\-jar JAR\-file
.RS 4
Add a new PKCS #11 module to the database using the named JAR file\&. Use this command with the
\fB\-installdir\fR
and
\fB\-tempdir\fR
arguments\&. The JAR file uses the NSS PKCS #11 JAR format to identify all the files to be installed, the module\*(Aqs name, the mechanism flags, and the cipher flags, as well as any files to be installed on the target machine, including the PKCS #11 module library file and other files such as documentation\&. This is covered in the JAR installation file section in the man page, which details the special script needed to perform an installation through a server or with
\fBmodutil\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\-list [modulename]
.RS 4
Display basic information about the contents of the
secmod\&.db
file\&. Specifying a
\fImodulename\fR
displays detailed information about a particular module and its slots and tokens\&.
.RE
.PP
\-rawadd
.RS 4
Add the module spec string to the
secmod\&.db
database\&.
.RE
.PP
\-rawlist
.RS 4
Display the module specs for a specified module or for all loadable modules\&.
.RE
.PP
\-undefault modulename
.RS 4
Specify the security mechanisms for which the named module will not be a default provider\&. The security mechanisms are specified with the
\fB\-mechanisms\fR
argument\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBArguments\fR
.PP
MODULE
.RS 4
Give the security module to access\&.
.RE
.PP
MODULESPEC
.RS 4
Give the security module spec to load into the security database\&.
.RE
.PP
\-ciphers cipher\-enable\-list
.RS 4
Enable specific ciphers in a module that is being added to the database\&. The
\fIcipher\-enable\-list\fR
is a colon\-delimited list of cipher names\&. Enclose this list in quotation marks if it contains spaces\&.
.RE
.PP
\-dbdir directory
.RS 4
Specify the database directory in which to access or create security module database files\&.
.sp
\fBmodutil\fR
supports two types of databases: the legacy security databases (cert8\&.db,
key3\&.db, and
secmod\&.db) and SQLite databases (cert9\&.db,
key4\&.db, and
pkcs11\&.txt)\&. If the prefix
\fBdbm:\fR
is not used, then the tool assumes that the given databases are in SQLite format\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-dbprefix prefix
.RS 4
Specify the prefix used on the database files, such as
my_
for
my_cert9\&.db\&. This option is provided as a special case\&. Changing the names of the certificate and key databases is not recommended\&.
.RE
.PP
\-installdir root\-installation\-directory
.RS 4
Specify the root installation directory relative to which files will be installed by the
\fB\-jar\fR
option\&. This directory should be one below which it is appropriate to store dynamic library files, such as a server\*(Aqs root directory\&.
.RE
.PP
\-libfile library\-file
.RS 4
Specify a path to a library file containing the implementation of the PKCS #11 interface module that is being added to the database\&.
.RE
.PP
\-mechanisms mechanism\-list
.RS 4
Specify the security mechanisms for which a particular module will be flagged as a default provider\&. The
\fImechanism\-list\fR
is a colon\-delimited list of mechanism names\&. Enclose this list in quotation marks if it contains spaces\&.
.sp
The module becomes a default provider for the listed mechanisms when those mechanisms are enabled\&. If more than one module claims to be a particular mechanism\*(Aqs default provider, that mechanism\*(Aqs default provider is undefined\&.
.sp
\fBmodutil\fR
supports several mechanisms: RSA, DSA, RC2, RC4, RC5, AES, DES, DH, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512, SSL, TLS, MD5, MD2, RANDOM (for random number generation), and FRIENDLY (meaning certificates are publicly readable)\&.
.RE
.PP
\-newpwfile new\-password\-file
.RS 4
Specify a text file containing a token\*(Aqs new or replacement password so that a password can be entered automatically with the
\fB\-changepw\fR
option\&.
.RE
.PP
\-nocertdb
.RS 4
Do not open the certificate or key databases\&. This has several effects:
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
With the
\fB\-create\fR
command, only a module security file is created; certificate and key databases are not created\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
With the
\fB\-jar\fR
command, signatures on the JAR file are not checked\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
With the
\fB\-changepw\fR
command, the password on the NSS internal module cannot be set or changed, since this password is stored in the key database\&.
.RE
.RE
.PP
\-pwfile old\-password\-file
.RS 4
Specify a text file containing a token\*(Aqs existing password so that a password can be entered automatically when the
\fB\-changepw\fR
option is used to change passwords\&.
.RE
.PP
\-secmod secmodname
.RS 4
Give the name of the security module database (like
secmod\&.db) to load\&.
.RE
.PP
\-slot slotname
.RS 4
Specify a particular slot to be enabled or disabled with the
\fB\-enable\fR
or
\fB\-disable\fR
options\&.
.RE
.PP
\-string CONFIG_STRING
.RS 4
Pass a configuration string for the module being added to the database\&.
.RE
.PP
\-tempdir temporary\-directory
.RS 4
Give a directory location where temporary files are created during the installation by the
\fB\-jar\fR
option\&. If no temporary directory is specified, the current directory is used\&.
.RE
.SH "USAGE AND EXAMPLES"
.PP
\fBCreating Database Files\fR
.PP
Before any operations can be performed, there must be a set of security databases available\&.
\fBmodutil\fR
can be used to create these files\&. The only required argument is the database that where the databases will be located\&.
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
modutil \-create \-dbdir directory
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
\fBAdding a Cryptographic Module\fR
.PP
Adding a PKCS #11 module means submitting a supporting library file, enabling its ciphers, and setting default provider status for various security mechanisms\&. This can be done by supplying all of the information through
\fBmodutil\fR
directly or by running a JAR file and install script\&. For the most basic case, simply upload the library:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
modutil \-add modulename \-libfile library\-file [\-ciphers cipher\-enable\-list] [\-mechanisms mechanism\-list] 
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
For example:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
modutil \-dbdir /home/my/sharednssdb \-add "Example PKCS #11 Module" \-libfile "/tmp/crypto\&.so" \-mechanisms RSA:DSA:RC2:RANDOM 

Using database directory \&.\&.\&. 
Module "Example PKCS #11 Module" added to database\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
\fBInstalling a Cryptographic Module from a JAR File\fR
.PP
PKCS #11 modules can also be loaded using a JAR file, which contains all of the required libraries and an installation script that describes how to install the module\&. The JAR install script is described in more detail in
the section called \(lqJAR INSTALLATION FILE FORMAT\(rq\&.
.PP
The JAR installation script defines the setup information for each platform that the module can be installed on\&. For example:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
Platforms { 
   Linux:5\&.4\&.08:x86 { 
      ModuleName { "Example PKCS #11 Module" } 
      ModuleFile { crypto\&.so } 
      DefaultMechanismFlags{0x0000} 
      CipherEnableFlags{0x0000} 
      Files { 
         crypto\&.so { 
            Path{ /tmp/crypto\&.so } 
         } 
         setup\&.sh { 
            Executable 
            Path{ /tmp/setup\&.sh } 
         } 
      } 
   } 
   Linux:6\&.0\&.0:x86 { 
      EquivalentPlatform { Linux:5\&.4\&.08:x86 } 
   } 
} 
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
Both the install script and the required libraries must be bundled in a JAR file, which is specified with the
\fB\-jar\fR
argument\&.
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4

BerkeleyDB has performance limitations, though, which prevent it from being easily used by multiple applications simultaneously\&. NSS has some flexibility that allows applications to use their own, independent database engine while keeping a shared database and working around the access issues\&. Still, NSS requires more flexibility to provide a truly shared security database\&.

In 2009, NSS introduced a new set of databases that are SQLite databases rather than BerkleyDB\&. These new databases provide more accessibility and performance:

Because the SQLite databases are designed to be shared, these are the

database type\&. The shared database type is preferred; the legacy format is included for backward compatibility\&.
.PP
By default, the tools (\fBcertutil\fR,
\fBpk12util\fR,
\fBmodutil\fR) assume that the given security databases use the SQLite type\&. Using the legacy databases must be manually specified by using the
\fBdbm:\fR
prefix with the given security directory\&. For example:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4

.nf
modutil \-create \-dbdir dbm:/home/my/sharednssdb
