Status: UNCONFIRMED

(NSS :: Tools, defect, P5)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0
Build ID: 20150917052249

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a password file for the security token password

vi pwdfile

Enter some "secretpw" 

2. Create the key and certificate databases  

certutil -N -d . -f pwdfile

3. Generate the self-signed CA certificate

certutil -S -n "CA certificate" -s "cn=My Org CA cert, dc=example,dc=com" -2 -x -t "CT,," -m 1000 -v 120 -d . -k rsa -n "FIRST_NICK" -f pwdfile

List Certificates from database
# certutil -L -d .

Certificate Nickname                                         Trust Attributes
                                                             SSL,S/MIME,JAR/XPI

FIRST_NICK                                                   CTu,u,u

4. 

# certutil -d . --rename -n FIRST_NICK --new-n SECOND_NICK
# echo $?
0
# certutil -L -d .

Certificate Nickname                                         Trust Attributes
                                                             SSL,S/MIME,JAR/XPI

FIRST_NICK                                                   CTu,u,u
 


Actual results:


--rename option finished with exit code 0, but no rename of certificate nickname has occurred.




Expected results:


If "--rename" option has no support for the legacy db ( DBM ) then it should not finish with exit code 0 ( some other exit code ) and should probably give some string back with error message, and if got support for legacy db, should give some string back that rename has occurred and give exit code 0 back.
