I need to import my private keys (in pkcs12 format ) to my websphere 5.1 server. It seems that pk12util can do this for me, but I am not sure what I need to download in order to install and run pk12util on websphere, Can anyone provides me with some pointers? Thanks a lot,
Jennifer,
pk12util does two things: a) "exports" a cert and private key from an NSS database to a PKCS12 file. b) "imports" a cert and private key from a PKCS12 file to an NSS database.
NSS databases are used in numerous products, including Netscape and mozilla browsers, and some Sun servers. But as far as I know, IBM's websphere server products do not use NSS databases.
So, if you already have your cert and provate key in a PKCS12 file, and you need to import them into a WebSphere server, then I suggest you need some WebSphere software to do that.
On the other hand, if you have a cert and private key in your browser (mozilla or Netscape), and you want to export it to a PKCS12 file, then I recommend that you use the cert export feature of the browser, rather than using pk12util. You will find the cert export feature in the certificate manager window, which you access from the browser's preferences panel. _______________________________________________ mozilla-crypto mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-crypto
