This chapter describes a number of administrative and development
utilities that are provided with CDSA. Note that some of these programs
are typically called only from the CDSA initialization command file
unless new add-in modules are being provided.
The CDSA utility programs comprise the following:
CDSA$CERTGEN.EXE
- Generates digital certificates.
CDSA$ISSUER.EXE - Generates
the issuer key functions.
CDSA$MDS_INSTALL.EXE - Creates
the MDS database.
CDSA$MOD_INSTALL.EXE - Adds
entries to the MDS database.
CDSA$OUTPUT_ERROR.EXE - Translates
numeric CDSA error codes into text.
CDSA$REVOKE.EXE - Packages
certificates to be revoked for shipment back to the Certificate
Authority (HP OpenVMS).
CDSA$X5092XML.EXE - Extracts
the subject name from an X509 certificate.
The shortened program names listed in this chapter's Synopsis
sections are defined in the file SYS$MANAGER:CDSA$SYMBOLS.COM.
The following command should be added to the SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.COM
file on the system where CDSA development work is being done:
$ @SYS$MANAGER:CDSA$SYMBOLS.COM
If this command is not defined at the system level, individual
CDSA developers should add it to their personal LOGIN.COM file so
that they can use the shortened program names.
