\fBvfychain\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 verification Tool,
\fBvfychain\fR, verifies certificate chains\&.
\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
\fB\-a\fR
.RS 4
the following certfile is base64 encoded
.RE
.PP
\fB\-b \fR \fIYYMMDDHHMMZ\fR

\fB\-o \fR \fIoid\fR
.RS 4
Set policy OID for cert validation(Format OID\&.1\&.2\&.3)
.RE
.PP
\fB\-p \fR
.RS 4
Use PKIX Library to validate certificate by calling:
.sp
* CERT_VerifyCertificate if specified once,
.sp
* CERT_PKIXVerifyCert if specified twice and more\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-r \fR
.RS 4
Following certfile is raw binary DER (default)

.RE
.PP
\fB\-T \fR
.RS 4
