List the Certificates in the Certificate Database

You list the certifications to verify that they were added to the certificate database.

Note: The following procedure details the specific options and arguments to complete the task. For a complete list of the NSS utility options and arguments, refer to the Mozilla documentation on the NSS project page.

Important! If you are running a SOA Security Manager utility or executable on Windows Server 2008, be sure to open the command–line window with Administrator permissions, even if you are logged into the system as an Administrator. For more information, see the release notes for your SOA Security Manager component.

To list the certifications in the certificate database

1. From a command prompt, navigate to the bin directory in the location to which you extracted the NSS utility.

   Example: C:\nss\bin

   Note: Windows has a native certutil utility. Ensure you are working from the bin directory of the NSS utility or you may inadvertently run the Windows certutil utility.

2. Run the following command:

   certutil -L -d certificate_database_directory

   • -L

     Lists all of the certificates in the certificate database.

   • -d certificate_database_directory

     Specifies the path to the directory that contains the certificate database.

     Note: If the file path contains spaces, bracket the path in quotes.

   NSS displays the root CA alias, the server certificate alias, and the trust attributes you specified when adding the certificates to the certificate database.

Example: List the Certificates in the Certificate Database

certutil -L -d C:\certdatabase
