Its the certificate "nickname" they call it when creating

certutil -L -d /path/to/cert_db -n “agent” -a > agent.asc
The -n "agent" is the name we gave our certificate during signing. So we use
that when communicating with our broker in order to figure out what trusts are given.
So this is the name of a client SSL certificate? Is the client
certificate optional? How does the qpid/qmf code know where to find
the certificate just from the name? Is there a standard place on the
filesystem it is set up to look for them? Also, is there a place for
"user" documentation where the answers to these sorts of questions can
be documented?
Also, when applications have SSL support, I usually expect to see a
whole slew of options. Are there more options supported by the
library?
Sorry for all the questions. I'm just trying to understand how it
works and maybe be helpful. :-)
