•Changing passwords

•Setting defaults

•Listing module contents

•Enabling or disabling slots

•Enabling or disabling FIPS-140-1 compliance

•Assigning default providers for cryptographic operations

•Creating key3.db, cert8.db, and secmod.db security databases.

Security module database management is part of a process that typically involves managing key databases (key3.db files) and certificate databases (cert8.db files). The key, certificate, and PKCS #11 module management process generally begins with creating the keys and key database necessary to generate and manage certificates and the certificate database.
