Now, as the root user: ninja install && ln -sfv /usr/libexec/p11-kit/trust-extract-compat \ /usr/bin/update-ca-certificates Command Explanations -Dtrust_paths=/etc/pki/anchors: this switch sets the location of trusted certificates used by libp11-kit.so. : Use this switch if you want to use the Freebl library from NSS for SHA1 and MD5 hashing. : Use this switch if you have installed and and wish to rebuild the documentation and generate manual pages. Configuring p11-kit The p11-kit trust module (/usr/lib/pkcs11/p11-kit-trust.so) can be used as a drop-in replacement for /usr/lib/libnssckbi.so to transparently make the system CAs available to NSS aware applications, rather than the static list provided by /usr/lib/libnssckbi.so. As the root user, execute the following commands: ln -sfv ./pkcs11/p11-kit-trust.so /usr/lib/libnssckbi.so Contents Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directories p11-kit, trust, and update-ca-certificates libp11-kit.so and p11-kit-proxy.so /etc/pkcs11, /usr/include/p11-kit-1, /usr/lib/pkcs11, /usr/libexec/p11-kit, /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/p11-kit, and /usr/share/p11-kit Short Descriptions p11-kit is a command line tool that can be used to perform operations on PKCS#11 modules configured on the system p11-kit trust is a command line tool to examine and modify the shared trust policy store trust update-ca-certificates is a command line tool to both extract local certificates from an updated anchor store, and regenerate all anchors and certificate stores on the system. This is done unconditionally on BLFS using the --force and --get flags to make-ca and should likely not be used for automated updates update-ca-certificates libp11-kit.so contains functions used to coordinate initialization and finalization of any PKCS#11 module libp11-kit.so p11-kit-proxy.so is the PKCS#11 proxy module p11-kit-proxy.so
