Loadosfiles() - VeriFone MX800 series Programmer's Manual

loadOSFiles()

This function attempts to authenticate all files in the os/ subdirectory in the current
user home directory. Files must have been signed with an OS signer certificate.
Internally the function performs two attempts to authenticate each file. If after the
first attempt the file is not authenticated, the system searches for .CRT files in the
crt/ subdirectory in the current user home directory. It tries to add each
certificate file to the system certificate tree. Then a second attempt to authenticate
the file is performed.
Upon successful authentication, the file and its signature file are moved into the
system directory according to its location in the user os/ subdirectory. For
instance, the file /home/usr1/os/lib/modules/DELTA.SCM and its signature
file /home/usr1/os/lib/modules/DELTA.SCM.p7s will be moved to system
directory /lib/modules/.
