Re: [Pki-users] certutil: unable to generate key(s)
Thanks! Fixed the -d option. Now I'm getting: Enter Password or Pin for "NSS Certificate DB": I did not set this Password/PIN. All the docs reference tksTool. I don't want to fubar more things but it looks like the following is needed: tksTool -N -d . I assume the tksTool is part of pki-tks. -----Original Message-----

Hello,
I haven't found information on the topic but it looks like there's a problem with certutil - using IPv4.

Any ideas would be welcome.

May want to tweak the -d option to point to the alias directory <path-to-alias-dir>, not just /var/lib/pki-sub-ca/ M.

Enter Password or Pin for "NSS Certificate DB":
cat /var/lib/pki-sub-ca/conf/password.conf contains what you need. Look for internal token password.

I did not set this Password/PIN. means you are creating new NSS db files in the directory specified All the docs reference tksTool. not in: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/cert-system/7.3/html/Administration_Guide... may be in: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/cert-system/7.3/html/Administration_Guide... ? I don't want to fubar more things but it looks like the following is needed:
tksTool -N -d .
will do it too, just make sure you are doing this in the directory you want to.
I assume the tksTool is part of pki-tks.
yes, you can verify with a rpm -qf /usr/bin/tkstool should get something with the string: pki-native-tools not sure why you want to use tkstool instead of certutil, or what may be the bigger issue.
