Example: Create DSA Certificates

The following command creates certificates for all currently configured DSAs:

dxcertgen certs

DXcertgen writes the certificates and associated private keys files for DSAs into the directory DXHOME/ssld/personalities.

Each DSA certificate and private key is created in a file with a name based on the DSA name, as follows:

dsa_name_in_lowercase.pem

The files are not password protected or encrypted in any way. They should be made secure as soon as possible.

Example: Generate Certificates for CA Directory Users

The following command creates user certificates and writes the certificates and private keys to the file system:

dxcertgen -u $USERS_PATH/users.ldif -p $TEMP_PATH/users certs

The private keys that are written out are not password protected or encrypted in any way. They should be made secure as soon as possible.

The user certificates will be generated from the same private key as the DSA certificates.
