SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

14       A  tool  used  to  generate a self-signed CA as well as server and user
15       certificates for mod_nss testing.
16
17       This is used to generate a default NSS database for the mod_nss  Apache
18       module. It does not test to see if an existing database already exists,
19       so use with care.
20
21       gencert will generate a new NSS database with the password "httptest".
22
23       It generates a self-signed CA with the subject  "CN=Certificate  Shack,
24       O=example.com, C=US"
25
26       It  also  generates a certificate suitable for servers with the subject
27       "CN=<FQDN>, O=example.com, C=US", and a user certificate with the  sub‐
28       ject  "E=alpha@<FQDN>,  CN=Frank  Alpha,  UID=alpha, OU=People, O=exam‐
29       ple.com, C=US".
30
31       The nicknames it uses are:
32
33              CA:                   cacert
34              Server certificate:   Server-Cert
35              User cert:            alpha
