[389-users] 389 DS 1.2.6. and certificates

[Reinhard Nappert]

Yes, I built it myself on 4.4.

No, it does not make a difference when I change the files to read only, before I restart the server

Do you mean 5.5?  Or did you build it yourself?

Not sure.  After running the script to generate the certs, can you change the cert8.db, key3.db, and secmod.db files to be read only (mode 0400), before starting the directory server?  Does that help?
