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.

Description Stanislav Zidek 2016-08-26 14:28:38 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1370501 +++

There is the same problem in RHEL-6.

Description of problem:

Manpage says:
-t trustargs
...
T - Trusted CA (implies c)
C - trusted CA for client authentication (ssl server only)

According to conversation with Kai, it should be the other way round.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -q nss-tools
nss-tools-3.21.0-8.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. man certutil
2. see -t option

Actual results:
T - Trusted CA (implies c)
C - trusted CA for client authentication (ssl server only)

Expected results:
C - Trusted CA (implies c)
T - trusted CA for client authentication (ssl server only)

Should be fixed upstream, we can pick up with rebase.

Comment 4 Kai Engert (:kaie) (inactive account) 2016-09-08 10:56:07 UTC
This has been fixed upstream. We will get the fix by rebasing to NSS 3.27 or a newer version.

I think we don't need to track this downstream.

If you think we must, please reopn, or mark as duplicate of a NSS 3.27+ rebase bug.
