Being a beginner with NSS, I need help :-(

I am trying to generate a RSA pair of keys with this code:

    NSS_Init("./rsa.db");

NSS_Init requires a pointer to a directory (which should already exist). You should check the error code coming back for NSS_Init. It's probably failing.

    SECKEYPublicKey*rsaPbKey=NULL;

SECKEYPrivateKey*rsaPrKey=SECKEY_CreateRSAPrivateKey(1024,&rsaPbKey,NULL);

Just a note: this will produce an ephemeral key (non-persistent). I can't tell if that's what you want from your code fragment or not.

    ...
    NSS_Shutdown();

But all seems to be wrong, rsaPrKey (and its partner) are always NULL.

What is wrong?
