dxcertgen certmerge Command—Use a CSR Response to Create a Certificate

When you have received a DSA certificate from a CA in response to a CSR, use this command to create the combination of DSA certificate and private key that a DSA needs.

The command dxcertgen certmerge does the following:

1. It verifies the received certificate.
2. It checks that the received certificate is, in fact, a response to the CSR that you sent using the dxcertgen certreq command.
3. It merges the returned certificate and the original private key and stores the DSA certificate and associated private key in the file DXHOME/config/ssld/personalities/dsaname.pem.

The command has the following syntax:

dxcertgen -D dsaname -n cert-file certmerge

-D dsaname

Specifies the DSA for which a new merged certificate will be created.

-n cert-file

Specifies the certificate file that was returned from the external CA in response to the CSR.
