<title>Description</title>
<para>The verification Tool, <command>vfychain</command>, verifies certificate chains. <command>modutil</command> can add and delete PKCS #11 modules, change passwords on security databases, set defaults, list module contents, enable or disable slots, enable or disable FIPS 140-2 compliance, and assign default providers for cryptographic operations. This tool can also create certificate, key, and module security database files.</para>
<para>The tasks associated with security module database management are part of a process that typically also involves managing key databases and certificate databases.</para>
