Method Details [hide private]

__init__(file, password, slot=None)
(Constructor)

 
x.__init__(...) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature
Parameters:
  • file (file name or file object) - pkcs12 input data.

    • If string treat as file path to open and read.
    • If file object read from the file object.
  • password (string) - The password protecting the PKCS12 contents
  • slot (PK11Slot object) - The PK11 slot to use. If None defaults to internal slot, see nss.get\_internal\_key\_slot()
Overrides: object.__init__

__new__(T, S, ...)

 
Returns: a new object with type S, a subtype of T
Overrides: object.__new__

__str__(x)
(Informal representation operator)

 
str(x)
Overrides: object.__str__

database_import()

 

Import the contents of the PKCS12Decoder object into the current NSS database.

During import if the certificate(s) in the PKCS12Decoder object does not have a nickname or there is a collision with an existing nickname then a callback will be invoked to provide a new nickname. See pkcs12\_set\_nickname\_collision\_callback.

format(level=0, indent=' ')

 
This is equivalent to: indented_format(obj.format_lines()) on an object providing a format_lines() method.
Parameters:
  • level (integer) - Initial indentation level, all subsequent indents are relative to this starting level.
  • indent (string) - string replicated once for each indent level then prepended to output line
Returns: string)

format_lines(level=0)

 

Formats the object into a sequence of lines with indent level information. The return value is a list where each list item is a tuple. The first item in the tuple is an integer representing the indentation level for that line. Any remaining items in the tuple are strings to be output on that line.

The output of this function can be formatted into a single string by calling nss.nss.indented\_format(), e.g.:

print indented_format(obj.format_lines())

The reason this function returns a tuple as opposed to an single indented string is to support other text formatting systems such as GUI's with indentation controls. See nss.nss.indented\_format() for a complete explanation.

Parameters:
  • level (integer) - Initial indentation level, all subsequent indents are relative to this starting level.
Returns: [(level, string),...]
