<title>Introduction to NSS</title>
<para>The Network Security Services (<application>NSS</application>)
package is a set of libraries designed to support cross-platform
development of security-enabled client and server applications.
Applications built with NSS can support SSL v2 and v3, TLS, PKCS #5,
PKCS #7, PKCS #11, PKCS #12, S/MIME, X.509 v3 certificates, and other
security standards. This is useful for implementing SSL and S/MIME or
other Internet security standards into an application.</para>

<para>To test the results, you'll need to set the domain name of your
system in the <envar>DOMSUF</envar> environment variable. Most of the tests
will fail if you don't provide the correct domain name. A self-generated
log file will be parsed at the end of the test to display how many tests
passed. It should return 800. To run the tests, ensure you change the
<command>export DOMSUF</command> command below to an appropriate value,
e.g., <parameter>mydomain.com</parameter> and issue the following
commands:</para>
<screen><userinput>bash
export DOMSUF=<replaceable>&lt;validdomain.name&gt;</replaceable> &amp;&amp;

<title>Command Explanations</title>
<para><command>bash</command>: Shells are started as many environment
variables are created during the installation process. Exiting the shells
serves the purpose of restoring the environment and returning back to the
original directory when the installation is complete.</para>
<para><command>export BUILD_OPT=1</command>: This variable is set so that
the build is performed with no debugging symbols built into the binaries
and that the default compiler optimizations are used.</para>
<para><command>export NSPR_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/nspr</command>: This
command sets the location of the nspr headers.</para>
<para><command>export USE_SYSTEM_*</command>: These commands ensure that
the system installed libraries are used instead of the in-tree
versions.</para>
<para><command>export ZLIB_LIBS=-lz</command>: This command provides the
needed linker flags to link to the system zlib.</para>
<para><command>export NSS_LINUXDIR=...</command>: This variable is set so
that the exact name of the architecture specific directories where the
binaries are stored in the source tree can be determined.</para>
<para><command>make -C mozilla/security/nss nss_build_all</command>: This
command builds the <application>NSS</application> libraries and creates a
<filename class='directory'>dist</filename> directory which houses all the
programs, libraries and interface headers. None of the programs created by
this process are installed onto the system using the default instructions
(except for <application>nss-config</application>). If you need any of
these programs installed, you can find them in the
<filename class='directory'>mozilla/*.OBJ/dist/bin</filename> directory of
the source tree.</para>
<para><command>sed -i 's/gmake/make/' common/init.sh</command>: This
command changes the command used to compile some test programs.</para>
