Create a trust store in Windows

This is an example work flow on how to create a trust store and perform some common commands. When you have created the trust store or performed updates, you must restart Nexus OCSP Responder to make the updates take effect, that is, to be inserted into the cache.

  • Create an empty trust store.

    Code Block
    certadm new --store="C:\ProgramFiles\Nexus\OCSP Responder\certs\trust.store"
certadm new --store=..\certs\trust.store

Examples:

  • Add the certificate located in the file newCA.crt to the trust store.

    Code Block

...

...

  • certadm add --store=../certs/trust.store --file=newCA.crt

  • List the contents of the trust store.

    Code Block

...

...

  • certadm list --store=../certs/trust.store

    Example of a list result:

    Code Block
    (1) CN=D, C=SE
(2) CN=A, C=SE
(3) CN=C, C=SE
(4) CN=B, C=SE
(5) CN=Q, C=SE

  • Example: Extract the certificate of the second issuer in this list to the file A.crt.

    Code Block

...

  • certadm extract 2 --store=../certs/trust.store --file=A.crt

  • Example: Delete the certificate of the first issuer in the list.

    Code Block

...

...

  • certadm delete 1 --store=../certs/trust.store

...
