136 \&\fBopenssl\fR \fBnseq\fR
137 [\fB\-in filename\fR]
138 [\fB\-out filename\fR]
141 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
142 The \fBnseq\fR command takes a file containing a Netscape certificate
143 sequence and prints out the certificates contained in it or takes a
144 file of certificates and converts it into a Netscape certificate
146 .SH "COMMAND OPTIONS"
147 .IX Header "COMMAND OPTIONS"
148 .IP "\fB\-in filename\fR" 4
149 .IX Item "-in filename"
150 This specifies the input filename to read or standard input if this
151 option is not specified.
152 .IP "\fB\-out filename\fR" 4
153 .IX Item "-out filename"
154 specifies the output filename or standard output by default.
155 .IP "\fB\-toseq\fR" 4
157 normally a Netscape certificate sequence will be input and the output
158 is the certificates contained in it. With the \fB\-toseq\fR option the
159 situation is reversed: a Netscape certificate sequence is created from
160 a file of certificates.
162 .IX Header "EXAMPLES"
163 Output the certificates in a Netscape certificate sequence
166 \& openssl nseq \-in nseq.pem \-out certs.pem
169 Create a Netscape certificate sequence
172 \& openssl nseq \-in certs.pem \-toseq \-out nseq.pem
176 The \fB\s-1PEM\s0\fR encoded form uses the same headers and footers as a certificate:
179 \& \-\-\-\-\-BEGIN CERTIFICATE\-\-\-\-\-
180 \& \-\-\-\-\-END CERTIFICATE\-\-\-\-\-
183 A Netscape certificate sequence is a Netscape specific form that can be sent
184 to browsers as an alternative to the standard PKCS#7 format when several
185 certificates are sent to the browser: for example during certificate enrollment.
186 It is used by Netscape certificate server for example.
189 This program needs a few more options: like allowing \s-1DER\s0 or \s-1PEM\s0 input and
190 output files and allowing multiple certificate files to be used.
