Steps to reproduce:

I tried building NSS on AIX 7.1, but there are compilation errors and also when i solve them, certutil doesnt work, as it ask for password even after giving correct password.
I want to know whether you guys build/support on AIX or not.

the below obvious compilation errors shows that mozilla haven't tried building on AIX :

  1. nss\lib\ssl\ sslsnce.c - > corrected the incorrect forward declaration of static function “ssl_GenerateSelfEncryptKeys”
  2. nss\lib\ssl\ ssl3exthandle.c -> The return type was corrected to “SECStatus” enum , according to prototype declared in header “ssl3exthandle.h”.

Actual results:

Certutil commands :
./certutil -N -d .
./certutil -A -n CA-Root -t "C,C,C" -i den00gyw.cer -d . // keeps on prompting for password
./certutil -L -d .

Expected results:

no compilation error and certutil should insert certificates without password prompt is blank password was used for creating cert and key db files

I am completely stuck because of this.. It will be great if someone helps on this

Hi, unfortunately we don't support AIX and have no machine to test it, so there is not much I can do here, sorry : /
Note that for future issues, if you set the priority, it will disappear from the triage list (so you can be sure we will forget about it).
