Thanks Nelson for ur reply. My confusion is less but still there. The doubts are:
a)When certutil generates keys, pvt key is stored in keydb but where is pub key stored? I am not creating any cert but just generating keys. b)I want to see all the pub keys in keydb using certutil How do I see them? mozilla webpage says ,use keytool -L but keytool does not exist anymore! And,if certutil has taken keytool's role as well, then cetutil -L -d dirname should give me that! But, it rather shows me the certs in certdb. Then? c)How are pvt keys indexed in keydb? d)When I use certutil to create a cert ,is pub key stored in 2 places? One as a pub key itself in keydb and another as a member of the cert, where the cert is created in certdb? e)When,there is no keydb and certdb and I use certutil -G -d dirname, to generate keys ,I see that a certdb is built. What is stored there then? If now I do a certutil -L -d dirname, i see no output! Does it mean that even when I just generated keys(using certutil -G), cert.db was created although it doesnot contain any cert (and key) and it is only in keydb that the pub and pvt keys have been loaded. Is this right? Thanks ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!
