I'm fine if they put "Beware: dissertations recommended" on some commands and options, but trying to find out what domain a certificate is for? If I hadn't remembered "x509" being so familiar, things would have taken a lot longer than they did (which was already too long, IMO). The certutil commands for inserting things into your nssdb are also crazy. AFAICT, you can't add the 'u' (a client-side certificate) flag to entries without actually using it as a client certificate. It's also sad when the easiest interface to your tool is the configuration pane of a browser (the Chromium family in this case).
