39481 - Improve API to open cert database

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 39476

(NSS :: Libraries, defect, P3)

Description

[Fred Roeber]

This is a replacement bug for Netscape NSS bug
http://scopus/bugsplat/show_bug.cgi?id=105243

This bug will be moot when we move to pkcs#11 modules for all data storage, but
until and unless that happens, it's still a legitimate complaint about NSS.


Recent bugs have shown that CERT_OpenCertDBFilename is completely busted.  It 
should be removed from HCL if possible.  Or at least a warning should be put in. 

CERT_OpenCertDB should be used instead of CERT_OpenCertDBFilename.

We need to add a standard callback function to use when invoking 
CERT_OpenCertDB.  The callback can be modeled after SECU_CertDBNameCallback 
which is not currently a part of HCL.
