modutil
The
modutil
tool is a command-line utility for managing PKCS #11 module
information stored in
secmod.db
files or hardware tokens. You can use the tool to
perform the following operations:
• Adding and deleting PKCS #11 modules
• Changing passwords
• Setting defaults
• Listing module contents
• Enabling or disabling slots
• Enabling or disabling FIPS-140-1 compliance
• Assigning default providers for cryptographic operations
• Creating
key3.db
,
cert7.db
, and
secmod.db
security database files.
Security module database management is part of a process that typically involves
managing key databases (
key3.db
files) and certificate databases (
cert7.db
files).
The key, certificate, and PKCS #11 module management process generally begins
with creating the keys and key database necessary to generate and manage
certificates and the certificate database.
The
modutil
tool is stored in the
serverRoot
/shared/bin
folder.
