IPSEC-PK12UTIL(8)

💖 IPSEC-PK12UTIL(8) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the ipsec-pk12util page — it lives in the Executable programs part of the manual, and it's genuinely so much simpler than its name makes it sound 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ipsec-pk12util — a little helper that runs NSS pk12util on the IPsec NSS database 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ipsec pk12util

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea 🍓: ipsec pk12util is a helper, and what it does is run NSS's pk12util command against Libreswan's NSS database — and the way it does that is by slipping the option -d /var/lib/ipsec/nss into the parameter list for you. that's it. that's the whole job. no cap. ✨

if you want the actual details of what pk12util does, go look at pk12util(1) — that's where the real info lives, bestie. 📖
