=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.

=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.
