I have downloaded the latest windows release of the NSS Security Tools and I am trying to update an existing cert7 database; however, when I add a certificate, it gets placed in a cert8.db file instead. Is it possible to just update the cert7.db file? The application that I am trying to run only looks at the cert7.db file.
Starting in NSS 3.7, the cert7.db automatically gets upgraded to cert8.db, and the subdirectory cert8.dir . This is needed in order to work around problems with storing large objects in cert7.db, such as CRLs. NSS 3.7 is included in Mozilla 1.3 .
If you want to use the cert7.db format, you can use an older version of Mozilla such as 1.2 .
What application are you using that needs cert7.db ? Since NSS is a dynamic link library, you may not need any modifications to it in order ot make it support the new cert8.db . Try just adding the NSS DLLs to it and see if it works.
