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! Before running a SiteMinder utility or executable on Windows Server 2008, open the command line window with administrator permissions. Open the command line window this way, even if your account has administrator privileges.

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. Verify that you are working from the bin directory of the NSS utility, or you can 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
