.SH "NAME"
globus-update-certificate-dir \- Update symlinks in the trusted CA directory
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\fBglobus\-update\-certificate\-dir\fR\ 'u
\fBglobus\-update\-certificate\-dir\fR [\-help] [\-d\ \fIDIRECTORY\fR]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The
\fBglobus\-update\-certificate\-dir\fR
program creates symlinks between files (CA certificates, certificate revocation lists, signing policy, and certificate request configuration files) using the certificate hash the installed version of OpenSSL uses\&. OpenSSL 1\&.0\&.0 uses a different name hashing algorithm than previous versions, so CA distributions created with older versions of OpenSSL might not be able to locate trusted CAs and related files\&. Running
\fBglobus\-update\-certificate\-dir\fR
against a trusted CA directory will add symlinks to the files to the hash if needed\&.
