5 openssl-nseq - create or examine a Netscape certificate sequence
17 This command takes a file containing a Netscape certificate
18 sequence and prints out the certificates contained in it or takes a
19 file of certificates and converts it into a Netscape certificate
22 A Netscape certificate sequence is an old Netscape-specific format that
23 can be sometimes be sent to browsers as an alternative to the standard PKCS#7
24 format when several certificates are sent to the browser, for example during
25 certificate enrollment. It was also used by Netscape certificate server.
33 Print out a usage message.
35 =item B<-in> I<filename>
37 This specifies the input filename to read or standard input if this
38 option is not specified.
40 =item B<-out> I<filename>
42 Specifies the output filename or standard output by default.
46 Normally a Netscape certificate sequence will be input and the output
47 is the certificates contained in it. With the B<-toseq> option the
48 situation is reversed: a Netscape certificate sequence is created from
49 a file of certificates.
55 Output the certificates in a Netscape certificate sequence
57 openssl nseq -in nseq.pem -out certs.pem
59 Create a Netscape certificate sequence
61 openssl nseq -in certs.pem -toseq -out nseq.pem
