Processing Import Files with Multiple Certificate Aliases

If there are multiple certificates in the import file, the tool imports them into the smkeydatabase and assigns alias names based on the value you specify with smfedimport command option –importkeys.

For example, if there are three certificates in the import file and you specify:

 -importkeys myalias

The tool registers the imported certificates as myalias, myalias_1, and myalias_2. The integer increases by one for each subsequent certificate.
