Chapter 11. Managing Certificates

254

7. Click 

OK

.

The new certificate is listed in the 

Your certificates

 tab.

NOTE

If there are multiple client certificates installed, the Certificate System subsystem may not
automatically find the appropriate client certificate. Set the 

Ask every time

 in the 

Client

certificate selection

 section of the Firefox 

Advanced

 tab, which will prompt for the user

to select the client certificate every time a website requests one.

11.4. Managing the Certificate Database

Each Certificate System instance has a certificate database, which is maintained in its internal token.
This database contains certificates belonging to the subsystem installed in the Certificate System
instance and various CA certificates the subsystems use for validating the certificates they receive.

Even if an external token is used to generate and store key pairs, Certificate System always maintains
its list of trusted and untrusted CA certificates in its internal token.

This section explains how to view the contents of the certificate database, delete unwanted
certificates, and change the trust settings of CA certificates installed in the database using the
Certificate System window. For information on adding certificates to the database, see 

Section 11.4.1,

“Installing Certificates in the Certificate System Database”

.

NOTE

The Certificate System command-line utility 

certutil

 can be used to manage the

certificate database by editing trust settings and adding and deleting certificates. For
details about this tool, see 

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/tools/

.

Administrators should periodically check the contents of the certificate database to make sure that it
does not include any unwanted CA certificates. For example, if the database includes CA certificates
that should not ever be trusted within the PKI setup, delete them.

11.4.1. Installing Certificates in the Certificate System Database

If new server certificates are issued for a subsystem, they must be installed in that subsystem
database. Additionally, user and agent certificates must be installed in the subsystem databases. If the
certificates are issued by an external CA, then usually the corresponding CA certificate or certificate
chain needs installed.

Certificates can be installed in the subsystem certificate database through the Console's Certificate
Setup Wizard or using the 

certutil

 utility.
