STATUS
This documentation is still work in progress. Please contribute to the initial review in
Mozilla NSS bug 836477[1]
DESCRIPTION
The verification Tool, vfychain, verifies certificate chains. modutil can add and delete
PKCS #11 modules, change passwords on security databases, set defaults, list module
contents, enable or disable slots, enable or disable FIPS 140-2 compliance, and assign
default providers for cryptographic operations. This tool can also create certificate,
key, and module security database files.
The tasks associated with security module database management are part of a process that
typically also involves managing key databases and certificate databases.
OPTIONS
-a
the following certfile is base64 encoded
-b YYMMDDHHMMZ
Validate date (default: now)
-d directory
database directory
-f
Enable cert fetching from AIA URL
-o oid
Set policy OID for cert validation(Format OID.1.2.3)
-p
Use PKIX Library to validate certificate by calling:
* CERT_VerifyCertificate if specified once,
* CERT_PKIXVerifyCert if specified twice and more.
-r
Following certfile is raw binary DER (default)
-t
Following cert is explicitly trusted (overrides db trust)
-u usage
0=SSL client, 1=SSL server, 2=SSL StepUp, 3=SSL CA, 4=Email signer, 5=Email recipient,

database if there are certificates marked -t.)
-v
Verbose mode. Prints root cert subject(double the argument for whole root cert info)
-w password
Database password
-W pwfile
Password file
