143 .IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
144 \&\fBopenssl\fR \fBnseq\fR
145 [\fB\-in filename\fR]
146 [\fB\-out filename\fR]
149 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
150 The \fBnseq\fR command takes a file containing a Netscape certificate
151 sequence and prints out the certificates contained in it or takes a
152 file of certificates and converts it into a Netscape certificate
154 .SH "COMMAND OPTIONS"
155 .IX Header "COMMAND OPTIONS"
156 .IP "\fB\-in filename\fR" 4
157 .IX Item "-in filename"
158 This specifies the input filename to read or standard input if this
159 option is not specified.
160 .IP "\fB\-out filename\fR" 4
161 .IX Item "-out filename"
162 specifies the output filename or standard output by default.
163 .IP "\fB\-toseq\fR" 4
165 normally a Netscape certificate sequence will be input and the output
166 is the certificates contained in it. With the \fB\-toseq\fR option the
167 situation is reversed: a Netscape certificate sequence is created from
168 a file of certificates.
170 .IX Header "EXAMPLES"
171 Output the certificates in a Netscape certificate sequence
174 \& openssl nseq \-in nseq.pem \-out certs.pem
177 Create a Netscape certificate sequence
180 \& openssl nseq \-in certs.pem \-toseq \-out nseq.pem
184 The \fB\s-1PEM\s0\fR encoded form uses the same headers and footers as a certificate:
187 \& \-\-\-\-\-BEGIN CERTIFICATE\-\-\-\-\-
188 \& \-\-\-\-\-END CERTIFICATE\-\-\-\-\-
191 A Netscape certificate sequence is a Netscape specific form that can be sent
192 to browsers as an alternative to the standard PKCS#7 format when several
193 certificates are sent to the browser: for example during certificate enrollment.
194 It is used by Netscape certificate server for example.
197 This program needs a few more options: like allowing \s-1DER\s0 or \s-1PEM\s0 input and
198 output files and allowing multiple certificate files to be used.
