1. Export Certificates and Private Keys from key.p12 and trust.p12

copy the effective key store and trust store to /var/tmp

cd /var/tmp

Export all signer certificates to /var/tmp/trust.pem
# openssl pkcs12 -in trust.p12 -out trust.pem -info -nokeys

Export Client Private Key to /var/tmp/key.pem
# openssl pkcs12 -in key.p12 -out key.pem -nocerts

Export Client Certificates to /var/tmp/personal.pem
# openssl pkcs12 -in key.p12 -out personal.pem -clcerts -nokeys


Form your curl command line as below:

curl --capath /var/tmp/curl --cert personal.pem:WebAS --key key.pem --pass WebAS --cacert trust.pem --data @<request xml> -H "Content-Type:text/xml;Charset='UTF-8'" <WebService URL>

i.e.
curl --capath /var/tmp/curl --cert personal.pem:WebAS --key key.pem --pass WebAS --cacert ca.pem --data @xam_in.xml -H "Content-Type:text/xml;Charset='UTF-8'" https://webservice.articy.net:5156/myWebService

Linux: Manage SCSI device w/o reboot system

To remove "dead" scsi-devices, type

echo 1> /sys/block/sdX/device/delete

where sdX the dead device is. Be careful, don't remove devices you are currently using! To rescan for (new) scsi-devices type

echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/scan

where X is the host adapter id. (Should be 0) If the Volumesize was changed, then following command re-reads the volume size:

echo 1 > /sys/block/sdc/device/rescan

(tested with custom linux-2.6.20-xen-r7)
