=head1 NAME |
|
|
|
nseq - create or examine a netscape certificate sequence |
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS |
|
|
|
B<openssl> B<nseq> |
|
[B<-in filename>] |
|
[B<-out filename>] |
|
[B<-toseq>] |
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION |
|
|
|
The B<nseq> command takes a file containing a Netscape certificate |
|
sequence and prints out the certificates contained in it or takes a |
|
file of certificates and converts it into a Netscape certificate |
|
sequence. |
|
|
|
=head1 COMMAND OPTIONS |
|
|
|
=over 4 |
|
|
|
=item B<-in filename> |
|
|
|
This specifies the input filename to read or standard input if this |
|
option is not specified. |
|
|
|
=item B<-out filename> |
|
|
|
specifies the output filename or standard output by default. |
|
|
|
=item B<-toseq> |
|
|
|
normally a Netscape certificate sequence will be input and the output |
|
is the certificates contained in it. With the B<-toseq> option the |
|
situation is reversed: a Netscape certificate sequence is created from |
|
a file of certificates. |
|
|
|
=back |
|
|
|
=head1 EXAMPLES |
|
|
|
Output the certificates in a Netscape certificate sequence |
|
|
|
openssl nseq -in nseq.pem -out certs.pem |
|
|
|
Create a Netscape certificate sequence |
|
|
|
openssl nseq -in certs.pem -toseq -out nseq.pem |
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES |
|
|
|
The B<PEM> encoded form uses the same headers and footers as a certificate: |
|
|
|
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- |
|
-----END CERTIFICATE----- |
|
|
|
A Netscape certificate sequence is a Netscape specific form that can be sent |
|
to browsers as an alternative to the standard PKCS#7 format when several |
|
certificates are sent to the browser: for example during certificate enrollment. |
|
It is used by Netscape certificate server for example. |
|
|
|
=head1 BUGS |
|
|
|
This program needs a few more options: like allowing DER or PEM input and |
|
output files and allowing multiple certificate files to be used. |
