132 .TH NSEQ 1 "2006-11-19" "0.9.8d" "OpenSSL"
134 nseq \- create or examine a netscape certificate sequence
136 .IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
137 \&\fBopenssl\fR \fBnseq\fR
138 [\fB\-in filename\fR]
139 [\fB\-out filename\fR]
142 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
143 The \fBnseq\fR command takes a file containing a Netscape certificate
144 sequence and prints out the certificates contained in it or takes a
145 file of certificates and converts it into a Netscape certificate
147 .SH "COMMAND OPTIONS"
148 .IX Header "COMMAND OPTIONS"
149 .IP "\fB\-in filename\fR" 4
150 .IX Item "-in filename"
151 This specifies the input filename to read or standard input if this
152 option is not specified.
153 .IP "\fB\-out filename\fR" 4
154 .IX Item "-out filename"
155 specifies the output filename or standard output by default.
156 .IP "\fB\-toseq\fR" 4
158 normally a Netscape certificate sequence will be input and the output
159 is the certificates contained in it. With the \fB\-toseq\fR option the
160 situation is reversed: a Netscape certificate sequence is created from
161 a file of certificates.
163 .IX Header "EXAMPLES"
164 Output the certificates in a Netscape certificate sequence
167 \& openssl nseq -in nseq.pem -out certs.pem
170 Create a Netscape certificate sequence
173 \& openssl nseq -in certs.pem -toseq -out nseq.pem
177 The \fB\s-1PEM\s0\fR encoded form uses the same headers and footers as a certificate:
180 \& -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
181 \& -----END CERTIFICATE-----
184 A Netscape certificate sequence is a Netscape specific form that can be sent
185 to browsers as an alternative to the standard PKCS#7 format when several
186 certificates are sent to the browser: for example during certificate enrollment.
187 It is used by Netscape certificate server for example.
190 This program needs a few more options: like allowing \s-1DER\s0 or \s-1PEM\s0 input and
191 output files and allowing multiple certificate files to be used.
