What the Option Does
Specifies the security mechanisms for which a particular module will
be the default provider.
The MECHANISM_LIST is a colon-separated list of mechanism names.
Enclose this list in quotation marks if it contains spaces.
The module becomes a default provider for the listed mechanisms
when those mechanisms are enabled. If more than one module is
assigned as a mechanism's default provider, the mechanism's default
provider is listed as undefined.
The following mechanisms are currently available:
• RSA
• DSA
• RC2, RC4, RC5
• DES
• DH
• FORTEZZA
• SHA1
• MD2, MD5
• RANDOM (for random number generation)
• FRIENDLY (for certificates that are publicly readable).
Specifies a text file containing a token's new password. This allows
automatic updating of the password when using the -changepw
command.
Instructs modutil to not open the certificate or key databases. This
has several effects:
• When used with the -changepw command, no one will be able to
set or change the password on the Netscape internal module,
because the password is stored in key3.db.
• When used with the -create command, only a secmod.db file
will be created; cert7.db and key3.db will not be created.
• When used with the -jar command, signatures on the JAR file
will not be checked.
