6 openssl-nseq - create or examine a Netscape certificate sequence
15 {- $OpenSSL::safe::opt_provider_synopsis -}
19 This command takes a file containing a Netscape certificate
20 sequence and prints out the certificates contained in it or takes a
21 file of certificates and converts it into a Netscape certificate
24 A Netscape certificate sequence is an old Netscape-specific format that
25 can be sometimes be sent to browsers as an alternative to the standard PKCS#7
26 format when several certificates are sent to the browser, for example during
27 certificate enrollment. It was also used by Netscape certificate server.
35 Print out a usage message.
37 =item B<-in> I<filename>
39 This specifies the input filename to read or standard input if this
40 option is not specified.
42 =item B<-out> I<filename>
44 Specifies the output filename or standard output by default.
48 Normally a Netscape certificate sequence will be input and the output
49 is the certificates contained in it. With the B<-toseq> option the
50 situation is reversed: a Netscape certificate sequence is created from
51 a file of certificates.
53 {- $OpenSSL::safe::opt_provider_item -}
59 Output the certificates in a Netscape certificate sequence
61 openssl nseq -in nseq.pem -out certs.pem
63 Create a Netscape certificate sequence
65 openssl nseq -in certs.pem -toseq -out nseq.pem
