The mkhashfile utility provides a simple way to install a root certificate in the OpenEdge root certificate store of a client machine. Such a certificate can be authorized by your own internal-use Certification Authority (CA) or by any CA that can provide you with a PEM-encoded certificate. It operates in FIPS mode when FIPS is enabled at the OpenEdge installation level.

mkhashfile PEM-certificate-pathname
PEM-certificate-pathname

Pathname of a PEM-encoded certificate file (typically with a .pem extension) containing a root certificate that you want to store in an OpenEdge root certificate store. The command creates a copy of this file with a hashed filename and places it in the OpenEdge-install-dir/certs directory of the client machine. The generated filename becomes the alias for the root certificate store entry.

You can use certutil to manage the root certificates that you install with this utility. For more information on managing root certificates in the OpenEdge root certificate store, see certutil and Manage OpenEdge Keys and Certificates.
