Hi group,

I have some question about certutil.

When you create an individual certificate and add it to a certificate
database with the "-S" command, does it also generate key pair for
you?

I'm following the instruction in "Red Hat Directory Server 7.1
Administrator Guide" to use certutil to create a self-sign
certificate.
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/7.1/ssl.html#1087158

I got very confused in step 5 in the "Using certutil" section in the
"RH DS 7.1 Admin Guide" about generating standalone key pair with the
"-G" command and then it seems like it is not using it at all
afterward because the manual then go on and explain using the "-S"
command to create and add self-signed and server certificates.

I just want to have a second eyes to look at the few steps documented
in the "RH DS 7.1 Admin Guide" to confirm what I said is correct that
step 5 in the "Using certutil" section to generate a key pair with the
"-G" command is not necessary.

Thanks!!!

David
