Creating a directory for the nss database

A directory must be created for use with the nss database. Later, the required certificates will be stored in this directory.

1. Create the directory:

   mkdir /etc/httpd/nss

2. Initialize the new database using the option -N (New) option. In this scenario, the new database password used for initializing the database is 19283746.

   
   # certutil -N -d /etc/httpd/nss
   Enter a password which will be used to encrypt your keys.
   The password should be at least 8 characters long,
   and should contain at least one non-alphabetic character. 
   
   Enter new password: 19283746
   Re-enter password: 19283746
