[Pki-users] Exporting Keys from Database

[Jindrich Dolezal]

hi,
im using dogtag 9.0. im trying to export the CA keys with the use of 
PKCS12Export command. in the Deploy and Install guide there is command 
to use:
PKCS12Export -debug -d /var/lib/{instance_name}/alias -w p12pwd.txt -p 
internal.txt -o master.p12
where according to help
-p <file containing password for keydb> -w <file containing pkcs12 
password> -o <output file for pkcs12>

but i always end up with:
PKCS12Export debug: PKCS12Export Exception: 
org.mozilla.jss.util.IncorrectPasswordException

what is 'file containing password for keydb' and 'file containing pkcs12 
password'?
i tried all combinations of passwords i used during the installation. 
more over during the installation i was not asked for any password to 
protect the keydb.

so my next question is: should the passwords be in special format, like 
in base64, or more generally what passwords shall be used for this at all?

thanks

jd
