globus-update-certificate-dir

GLOBUS-UPDATE-CERT(8)					      GSI-C OpenSSL Commands					     GLOBUS-UPDATE-CERT(8)

NAME

       globus-update-certificate-dir - Update symlinks in the trusted CA directory

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       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.

       The full set of command-line options to globus-update-certificate-dir consists of:

       -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.

ENVIRONMENT

       If the following variables affect the execution of globus-update-certificate-dir

       X509_CERT_DIR
	   Default trusted certificate directory.

       HOME
	   Path to the current user's home directory.

       GLOBUS_LOCATION
	   Path to the Globus installation.
