Using vatool to import a serials file

Problem

You would like to import a serials file into VA.

Resolution


To import a serials file, you run vatool to validate the serials file and import it to VA. Note that you should run vatool as the same user that ves runs as. Also, you need to run vatool again if you flush the CRLs. If you update the serials file, you will need to run vatool again and push a new CRL unless you have set up serial file monitoring. Further information can be found in the "Using vatool" section of the VA Administrator's Guide and in the PDF attached to this KB, which can be downloaded from the sidebar.
