If you want to add a certificate into a "cert8.db" file from a certificate file, you can use the Mozilla "certutil -A -i" command as shown in this tutorial:
C:\fyicerter>\fyicerter\nss\bin\certutil -A -d .\ -i GeoTrust.pem -n "GeoTrust SSL CA" -t ",," C:\fyicerter>\fyicerter\nss\bin\certutil -L -d .\ GeoTrust SSL CA ,,
What you are getting from this tutorial:
- "-A" command adds a certificate to the certificate database.
- "-d .\" specifies the directory where the database, cert8.db, is located.
- "-i GeoTrust.pem" specifies the input certificate file.
- '-n "GeoTrust SSL CA"' specifies a name for this certificate.
- '-t ",,"' specifies trust arguments for 3 categories: SSL, email, and object signing. ",," means no argument is provided. So it should not be trusted.
