RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1057650 +++

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:

    ​https://wiki.mozilla.org/NSS_Shared_DB

--- Additional comment from Rob Crittenden on 2014-10-28 16:17:26 EDT ---

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.

Per discussion in CS/DS meeting of 01/19/2015, moved this to RHEL 6.8.

The mod_nss version in RHEL 7.2 includes support for the NSS sqlite shared database.  Closing this as CURRENTRELEASE.
