dxcertgen certfile 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 certfile 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 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 

-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.
