globus-update-certificate-dir(8)

Usage

globus-update-certificate-dir -help

globus-update-certificate-dir [-d DIRECTORY]

Overview

The globus-update-certificate-dir program creates symlinks between files (CA certificates, certificate revocation lists, signing policy, and certificate request configuration files) using the certificate hash the installed version of OpenSSL uses. OpenSSL 1.0.0 uses a different name hashing algorithm than previous versions, so CA distributions created with older versions of OpenSSL might not be able to locate trusted CAs and related files. Running globus-update-certificate-dir against a trusted CA directory will add symlinks to the files to the hash if needed.

Options

-help: Display a help message to standard output and exit

-d DIRECTORY: Create links in the trusted CA directory DIRECTORY instead of using the default search path.
