Description

PKI Certificate files are present in 'cd /var/db/certs/common' folder in shell.

Symptoms

I need to know the location of the public-private key-pair and PKI certificates in order to save the file as a backup or to check the files for troubleshooting purposes.

Solution


All the files are present in cd /var/db/certs/common folder in shell.

Sample: 

  root% cd /var/db/certs/common
  root% ls -Rlt
