The certlink utility provides an automated method of creating symlinks based on certificate hashes. TDGSS software includes the certlink utility in Teradata Vantage: /opt/teradata/tdgss/bin/certlink.
To create symlinks based on certificate hashes using the certlink utility:
- From the site/ssl/cacerts directory that contains the two pem files, enter the following command to hash the files:
certlink .
The command produces output similar to:dlopldap:~ # certlink . dlopldap.pem => c5fc7afc.0 YaST-CA.pem => 9a135280.0 dlopldap:~ #
The example output shows that certlink created two symlink files:
- c5fc7afc.0
- 9a135280.0
These symlinks point to the .pem files:
- dlopldap.pem
- YaST-CA.pem
See Example: Certificate Chain for an example.
