How to clone a repo on a http web sever using git with certificates stored in a NSS database

Solution Verified - Updated 2015-02-08T02:35:50+00:00 -

Issue

Git is unable to find the nss database after creating database with the following command:

pk12util -i myCertificate.p12 -d sql:/home/myusername/.ssl -n nickname

This results in the following error:

Initializing NSS with certpath: sql:/etc/pki/nssdb
NSS error -8018

Setting NSS_DB_PATH does not seem to affect the path git searches for the nss database in however the environment variable SSL_DIR does.
Trying to use git to connect to a HTTPS server that requires PKI certificates for authentication.
