gskkyman command deficiency

gskkyman command line does not allow for importing CA certificates without a key/password. In other words:

gskkyman -i -k "database.kdb" -l "Some CA name" -p "ca.pem"

will require a certificate file that has an accompanying key file. When you attempt to import a large number of CA certificates such as those provided by Mozilla bundled CA certificates, you have no way of programmatically importing the certificates into the key database. To make matters worse, you cannot fake the process by placing menu selections and responses in the program stack via an EXEC and then call the gskkyman command.

This makes importing a large number of certificates into the database excruciatingly difficult. Either a large set of standard CA root certificates should be included when a new database is created or the gskkyman command should allow import without a key.

Please see the PMR for more details.

Thanks
