Description Rob Crittenden 2014-01-24 14:50:02 UTC 
The existing NSS databases utilize the original pre-Sleepycat Berkeley DB model which is unsafe when being utilized by more than one process.

mod_nss should consider moving, or at least qualifying, the shared NSS SQLite DB model documented at:

Comment 1 Rob Crittenden 2014-10-28 20:17:26 UTC 
It doesn't work as-is. mod_nss does a chdir to NSSCertificateDatabase which fails if prefixed with sql:

gencert doesn't handle a prefix properly either.
Comment 2 Rob Crittenden 2015-09-29 17:06:00 UTC 
This was added in mod_nss 1.0.11.
