Updating and Removing Subsystem
Packages
Certificate System is installed using individual packages for each of its subsystems and its supporting
systems, like Red Hat Directory Server and NSS. This makes the Certificate System modular, and
each individual subsystem and its packages can be installed, updated, and removed independently.
8.1. Updating Certificate System Packages
There are many packages, listed in
installed with Certificate System for related applications and dependencies, not just the subsystem
packages. For all supported platforms, individual Certificate System packages may be updated
through the native package utility, yum.
