.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \fBx509\fR command is a multi purpose certificate utility. It can be
used to display certificate information, convert certificates to
various forms, sign certificate requests like a \*(L"mini \s-1CA\*(R"\s0 or edit
certificate trust settings.
.PP
Since there are a large number of options they will split up into
various sections.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.SS "\s-1INPUT, OUTPUT AND GENERAL PURPOSE OPTIONS\s0"
.IX Subsection "INPUT, OUTPUT AND GENERAL PURPOSE OPTIONS"
.IP "\fB\-inform DER|PEM|NET\fR" 4
.IX Item "-inform DER|PEM|NET"
This specifies the input format normally the command will expect an X509
certificate but this can change if other options such as \fB\-req\fR are
present. The \s-1DER\s0 format is the \s-1DER\s0 encoding of the certificate and \s-1PEM\s0
is the base64 encoding of the \s-1DER\s0 encoding with header and footer lines
added. The \s-1NET\s0 option is an obscure Netscape server format that is now
obsolete.
.IP "\fB\-outform DER|PEM|NET\fR" 4
.IX Item "-outform DER|PEM|NET"
This specifies the output format, the options have the same meaning as the 
\&\fB\-inform\fR option.
.IP "\fB\-in filename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-in filename"
This specifies the input filename to read a certificate from or standard input
if this option is not specified.
.IP "\fB\-out filename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-out filename"
This specifies the output filename to write to or standard output by
default.
.IP "\fB\-md2|\-md5|\-sha1|\-mdc2\fR" 4
.IX Item "-md2|-md5|-sha1|-mdc2"
the digest to use. This affects any signing or display option that uses a message
digest, such as the \fB\-fingerprint\fR, \fB\-signkey\fR and \fB\-CA\fR options. If not
specified then \s-1SHA1\s0 is used. If the key being used to sign with is a \s-1DSA\s0 key
then this option has no effect: \s-1SHA1\s0 is always used with \s-1DSA\s0 keys.
.IP "\fB\-engine id\fR" 4
.IX Item "-engine id"
specifying an engine (by its unique \fBid\fR string) will cause \fBx509\fR
to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine,
thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default
for all available algorithms.
.SS "\s-1DISPLAY OPTIONS\s0"
.IX Subsection "DISPLAY OPTIONS"
Note: the \fB\-alias\fR and \fB\-purpose\fR options are also display options
but are described in the \fB\s-1TRUST SETTINGS\s0\fR section.
.IP "\fB\-text\fR" 4
.IX Item "-text"
prints out the certificate in text form. Full details are output including the
public key, signature algorithms, issuer and subject names, serial number
any extensions present and any trust settings.
.IP "\fB\-certopt option\fR" 4
.IX Item "-certopt option"
customise the output format used with \fB\-text\fR. The \fBoption\fR argument can be
a single option or multiple options separated by commas. The \fB\-certopt\fR switch
may be also be used more than once to set multiple options. See the \fB\s-1TEXT OPTIONS\s0\fR
section for more information.
.IP "\fB\-noout\fR" 4
.IX Item "-noout"
this option prevents output of the encoded version of the request.
.IP "\fB\-pubkey\fR" 4
.IX Item "-pubkey"
outputs the the certificate's SubjectPublicKeyInfo block in \s-1PEM\s0 format.
.IP "\fB\-modulus\fR" 4
.IX Item "-modulus"
this option prints out the value of the modulus of the public key
contained in the certificate.
.IP "\fB\-serial\fR" 4
.IX Item "-serial"
outputs the certificate serial number.
.IP "\fB\-subject_hash\fR" 4
.IX Item "-subject_hash"
outputs the \*(L"hash\*(R" of the certificate subject name. This is used in OpenSSL to
form an index to allow certificates in a directory to be looked up by subject
name.
.IP "\fB\-issuer_hash\fR" 4
.IX Item "-issuer_hash"
outputs the \*(L"hash\*(R" of the certificate issuer name.
.IP "\fB\-ocspid\fR" 4
.IX Item "-ocspid"
outputs the \s-1OCSP\s0 hash values for the subject name and public key.
.IP "\fB\-hash\fR" 4
.IX Item "-hash"
synonym for \*(L"\-subject_hash\*(R" for backward compatibility reasons.
.IP "\fB\-subject_hash_old\fR" 4
.IX Item "-subject_hash_old"
outputs the \*(L"hash\*(R" of the certificate subject name using the older algorithm
as used by OpenSSL versions before 1.0.0.
.IP "\fB\-issuer_hash_old\fR" 4
.IX Item "-issuer_hash_old"
outputs the \*(L"hash\*(R" of the certificate issuer name using the older algorithm
as used by OpenSSL versions before 1.0.0.
.IP "\fB\-subject\fR" 4
.IX Item "-subject"
outputs the subject name.
.IP "\fB\-issuer\fR" 4
.IX Item "-issuer"
outputs the issuer name.
.IP "\fB\-nameopt option\fR" 4
.IX Item "-nameopt option"
option which determines how the subject or issuer names are displayed. The
\&\fBoption\fR argument can be a single option or multiple options separated by
commas.  Alternatively the \fB\-nameopt\fR switch may be used more than once to
set multiple options. See the \fB\s-1NAME OPTIONS\s0\fR section for more information.
.IP "\fB\-email\fR" 4
.IX Item "-email"
outputs the email address(es) if any.
.IP "\fB\-ocsp_uri\fR" 4
.IX Item "-ocsp_uri"
outputs the \s-1OCSP\s0 responder address(es) if any.
.IP "\fB\-startdate\fR" 4
.IX Item "-startdate"
prints out the start date of the certificate, that is the notBefore date.
.IP "\fB\-enddate\fR" 4
.IX Item "-enddate"
prints out the expiry date of the certificate, that is the notAfter date.
.IP "\fB\-dates\fR" 4
.IX Item "-dates"
prints out the start and expiry dates of a certificate.
.IP "\fB\-checkend arg\fR" 4
.IX Item "-checkend arg"
checks if the certificate expires within the next \fBarg\fR seconds and exits
non-zero if yes it will expire or zero if not.
.IP "\fB\-fingerprint\fR" 4
.IX Item "-fingerprint"
prints out the digest of the \s-1DER\s0 encoded version of the whole certificate
(see digest options).
.IP "\fB\-C\fR" 4
.IX Item "-C"
this outputs the certificate in the form of a C source file.
.SS "\s-1TRUST SETTINGS\s0"
.IX Subsection "TRUST SETTINGS"
Please note these options are currently experimental and may well change.
.PP
A \fBtrusted certificate\fR is an ordinary certificate which has several
additional pieces of information attached to it such as the permitted
and prohibited uses of the certificate and an \*(L"alias\*(R".
.PP
Normally when a certificate is being verified at least one certificate
must be \*(L"trusted\*(R". By default a trusted certificate must be stored
locally and must be a root \s-1CA:\s0 any certificate chain ending in this \s-1CA\s0
is then usable for any purpose.
.PP
Trust settings currently are only used with a root \s-1CA.\s0 They allow a finer
control over the purposes the root \s-1CA\s0 can be used for. For example a \s-1CA\s0
may be trusted for \s-1SSL\s0 client but not \s-1SSL\s0 server use.
.PP
See the description of the \fBverify\fR utility for more information on the
meaning of trust settings.
.PP
Future versions of OpenSSL will recognize trust settings on any
certificate: not just root CAs.
.IP "\fB\-trustout\fR" 4
.IX Item "-trustout"
this causes \fBx509\fR to output a \fBtrusted\fR certificate. An ordinary
or trusted certificate can be input but by default an ordinary
certificate is output and any trust settings are discarded. With the
\&\fB\-trustout\fR option a trusted certificate is output. A trusted
certificate is automatically output if any trust settings are modified.
.IP "\fB\-setalias arg\fR" 4
.IX Item "-setalias arg"
sets the alias of the certificate. This will allow the certificate
to be referred to using a nickname for example \*(L"Steve's Certificate\*(R".
.IP "\fB\-alias\fR" 4
.IX Item "-alias"
outputs the certificate alias, if any.
.IP "\fB\-clrtrust\fR" 4
.IX Item "-clrtrust"
clears all the permitted or trusted uses of the certificate.
.IP "\fB\-clrreject\fR" 4
.IX Item "-clrreject"
clears all the prohibited or rejected uses of the certificate.
.IP "\fB\-addtrust arg\fR" 4
.IX Item "-addtrust arg"
adds a trusted certificate use. Any object name can be used here
but currently only \fBclientAuth\fR (\s-1SSL\s0 client use), \fBserverAuth\fR
(\s-1SSL\s0 server use) and \fBemailProtection\fR (S/MIME email) are used.
Other OpenSSL applications may define additional uses.
.IP "\fB\-addreject arg\fR" 4
.IX Item "-addreject arg"
adds a prohibited use. It accepts the same values as the \fB\-addtrust\fR
option.
.IP "\fB\-purpose\fR" 4
.IX Item "-purpose"
this option performs tests on the certificate extensions and outputs
the results. For a more complete description see the \fB\s-1CERTIFICATE
EXTENSIONS\s0\fR section.
.SS "\s-1SIGNING OPTIONS\s0"
.IX Subsection "SIGNING OPTIONS"
The \fBx509\fR utility can be used to sign certificates and requests: it
can thus behave like a \*(L"mini \s-1CA\*(R".\s0
.IP "\fB\-signkey filename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-signkey filename"
this option causes the input file to be self signed using the supplied
private key.
.Sp
If the input file is a certificate it sets the issuer name to the
subject name (i.e.  makes it self signed) changes the public key to the
supplied value and changes the start and end dates. The start date is
set to the current time and the end date is set to a value determined
by the \fB\-days\fR option. Any certificate extensions are retained unless
the \fB\-clrext\fR option is supplied.
.Sp
If the input is a certificate request then a self signed certificate
is created using the supplied private key using the subject name in
the request.
.IP "\fB\-passin arg\fR" 4
.IX Item "-passin arg"
the key password source. For more information about the format of \fBarg\fR
see the \fB\s-1PASS PHRASE ARGUMENTS\s0\fR section in \fIopenssl\fR\|(1).
.IP "\fB\-clrext\fR" 4
.IX Item "-clrext"
delete any extensions from a certificate. This option is used when a
certificate is being created from another certificate (for example with
the \fB\-signkey\fR or the \fB\-CA\fR options). Normally all extensions are
retained.
.IP "\fB\-keyform PEM|DER\fR" 4
.IX Item "-keyform PEM|DER"
specifies the format (\s-1DER\s0 or \s-1PEM\s0) of the private key file used in the
\&\fB\-signkey\fR option.
.IP "\fB\-days arg\fR" 4
.IX Item "-days arg"
specifies the number of days to make a certificate valid for. The default
is 30 days.
.IP "\fB\-x509toreq\fR" 4
.IX Item "-x509toreq"
converts a certificate into a certificate request. The \fB\-signkey\fR option
is used to pass the required private key.
.IP "\fB\-req\fR" 4
.IX Item "-req"
by default a certificate is expected on input. With this option a
certificate request is expected instead.
.IP "\fB\-set_serial n\fR" 4
.IX Item "-set_serial n"
specifies the serial number to use. This option can be used with either
the \fB\-signkey\fR or \fB\-CA\fR options. If used in conjunction with the \fB\-CA\fR
option the serial number file (as specified by the \fB\-CAserial\fR or
\&\fB\-CAcreateserial\fR options) is not used.
.Sp
The serial number can be decimal or hex (if preceded by \fB0x\fR). Negative
serial numbers can also be specified but their use is not recommended.
.IP "\fB\-CA filename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-CA filename"
specifies the \s-1CA\s0 certificate to be used for signing. When this option is
present \fBx509\fR behaves like a \*(L"mini \s-1CA\*(R".\s0 The input file is signed by this
\&\s-1CA\s0 using this option: that is its issuer name is set to the subject name
of the \s-1CA\s0 and it is digitally signed using the CAs private key.
.Sp
This option is normally combined with the \fB\-req\fR option. Without the
\&\fB\-req\fR option the input is a certificate which must be self signed.
.IP "\fB\-CAkey filename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-CAkey filename"
sets the \s-1CA\s0 private key to sign a certificate with. If this option is
not specified then it is assumed that the \s-1CA\s0 private key is present in
the \s-1CA\s0 certificate file.
.IP "\fB\-CAserial filename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-CAserial filename"
sets the \s-1CA\s0 serial number file to use.
.Sp
When the \fB\-CA\fR option is used to sign a certificate it uses a serial
number specified in a file. This file consist of one line containing
an even number of hex digits with the serial number to use. After each
use the serial number is incremented and written out to the file again.
.Sp
The default filename consists of the \s-1CA\s0 certificate file base name with
\&\*(L".srl\*(R" appended. For example if the \s-1CA\s0 certificate file is called 
\&\*(L"mycacert.pem\*(R" it expects to find a serial number file called \*(L"mycacert.srl\*(R".
.IP "\fB\-CAcreateserial\fR" 4
.IX Item "-CAcreateserial"
with this option the \s-1CA\s0 serial number file is created if it does not exist:
it will contain the serial number \*(L"02\*(R" and the certificate being signed will
have the 1 as its serial number. Normally if the \fB\-CA\fR option is specified
and the serial number file does not exist it is an error.
.IP "\fB\-extfile filename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-extfile filename"
file containing certificate extensions to use. If not specified then
no extensions are added to the certificate.
.IP "\fB\-extensions section\fR" 4
.IX Item "-extensions section"
the section to add certificate extensions from. If this option is not
specified then the extensions should either be contained in the unnamed
(default) section or the default section should contain a variable called
\&\*(L"extensions\*(R" which contains the section to use. See the
\&\fIx509v3_config\fR\|(5) manual page for details of the
extension section format.
.IP "\fB\-force_pubkey key\fR" 4
.IX Item "-force_pubkey key"
when a certificate is created set its public key to \fBkey\fR instead of the
key in the certificate or certificate request. This option is useful for
creating certificates where the algorithm can't normally sign requests, for
example \s-1DH.\s0
.Sp
The format or \fBkey\fR can be specified using the \fB\-keyform\fR option.
.SS "\s-1NAME OPTIONS\s0"
.IX Subsection "NAME OPTIONS"
The \fBnameopt\fR command line switch determines how the subject and issuer
names are displayed. If no \fBnameopt\fR switch is present the default \*(L"oneline\*(R"
format is used which is compatible with previous versions of OpenSSL.
Each option is described in detail below, all options can be preceded by
a \fB\-\fR to turn the option off. Only the first four will normally be used.
.IP "\fBcompat\fR" 4
.IX Item "compat"
use the old format. This is equivalent to specifying no name options at all.
.IP "\fB\s-1RFC2253\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "RFC2253"
displays names compatible with \s-1RFC2253\s0 equivalent to \fBesc_2253\fR, \fBesc_ctrl\fR,
\&\fBesc_msb\fR, \fButf8\fR, \fBdump_nostr\fR, \fBdump_unknown\fR, \fBdump_der\fR,
\&\fBsep_comma_plus\fR, \fBdn_rev\fR and \fBsname\fR.
.IP "\fBoneline\fR" 4
.IX Item "oneline"
a oneline format which is more readable than \s-1RFC2253.\s0 It is equivalent to
specifying the  \fBesc_2253\fR, \fBesc_ctrl\fR, \fBesc_msb\fR, \fButf8\fR, \fBdump_nostr\fR,
\&\fBdump_der\fR, \fBuse_quote\fR, \fBsep_comma_plus_space\fR, \fBspace_eq\fR and \fBsname\fR
options.
.IP "\fBmultiline\fR" 4
.IX Item "multiline"
a multiline format. It is equivalent \fBesc_ctrl\fR, \fBesc_msb\fR, \fBsep_multiline\fR,
\&\fBspace_eq\fR, \fBlname\fR and \fBalign\fR.
.IP "\fBesc_2253\fR" 4
.IX Item "esc_2253"
escape the \*(L"special\*(R" characters required by \s-1RFC2253\s0 in a field That is
\&\fB,+"<>;\fR. Additionally \fB#\fR is escaped at the beginning of a string
and a space character at the beginning or end of a string.
.IP "\fBesc_ctrl\fR" 4
.IX Item "esc_ctrl"
escape control characters. That is those with \s-1ASCII\s0 values less than
0x20 (space) and the delete (0x7f) character. They are escaped using the
\&\s-1RFC2253\s0 \eXX notation (where \s-1XX\s0 are two hex digits representing the
character value).
.IP "\fBesc_msb\fR" 4
.IX Item "esc_msb"
escape characters with the \s-1MSB\s0 set, that is with \s-1ASCII\s0 values larger than
127.
.IP "\fBuse_quote\fR" 4
.IX Item "use_quote"
escapes some characters by surrounding the whole string with \fB"\fR characters,
without the option all escaping is done with the \fB\e\fR character.
.IP "\fButf8\fR" 4
.IX Item "utf8"
convert all strings to \s-1UTF8\s0 format first. This is required by \s-1RFC2253.\s0 If
you are lucky enough to have a \s-1UTF8\s0 compatible terminal then the use
of this option (and \fBnot\fR setting \fBesc_msb\fR) may result in the correct
display of multibyte (international) characters. Is this option is not
present then multibyte characters larger than 0xff will be represented
using the format \eUXXXX for 16 bits and \eWXXXXXXXX for 32 bits.
Also if this option is off any UTF8Strings will be converted to their
character form first.
.IP "\fBignore_type\fR" 4
.IX Item "ignore_type"
this option does not attempt to interpret multibyte characters in any
way. That is their content octets are merely dumped as though one octet
represents each character. This is useful for diagnostic purposes but
will result in rather odd looking output.
.IP "\fBshow_type\fR" 4
.IX Item "show_type"
show the type of the \s-1ASN1\s0 character string. The type precedes the
field contents. For example \*(L"\s-1BMPSTRING:\s0 Hello World\*(R".
.IP "\fBdump_der\fR" 4
.IX Item "dump_der"
when this option is set any fields that need to be hexdumped will
be dumped using the \s-1DER\s0 encoding of the field. Otherwise just the
content octets will be displayed. Both options use the \s-1RFC2253
\&\s0\fB#XXXX...\fR format.
.IP "\fBdump_nostr\fR" 4
.IX Item "dump_nostr"
dump non character string types (for example \s-1OCTET STRING\s0) if this
option is not set then non character string types will be displayed
as though each content octet represents a single character.
.IP "\fBdump_all\fR" 4
.IX Item "dump_all"
dump all fields. This option when used with \fBdump_der\fR allows the
\&\s-1DER\s0 encoding of the structure to be unambiguously determined.
.IP "\fBdump_unknown\fR" 4
.IX Item "dump_unknown"
dump any field whose \s-1OID\s0 is not recognised by OpenSSL.
.IP "\fBsep_comma_plus\fR, \fBsep_comma_plus_space\fR, \fBsep_semi_plus_space\fR, \fBsep_multiline\fR" 4
.IX Item "sep_comma_plus, sep_comma_plus_space, sep_semi_plus_space, sep_multiline"
these options determine the field separators. The first character is
between RDNs and the second between multiple AVAs (multiple AVAs are
very rare and their use is discouraged). The options ending in
\&\*(L"space\*(R" additionally place a space after the separator to make it
more readable. The \fBsep_multiline\fR uses a linefeed character for
the \s-1RDN\s0 separator and a spaced \fB+\fR for the \s-1AVA\s0 separator. It also
indents the fields by four characters. If no field separator is specified
then \fBsep_comma_plus_space\fR is used by default.
.IP "\fBdn_rev\fR" 4
.IX Item "dn_rev"
reverse the fields of the \s-1DN.\s0 This is required by \s-1RFC2253.\s0 As a side
effect this also reverses the order of multiple AVAs but this is
permissible.
.IP "\fBnofname\fR, \fBsname\fR, \fBlname\fR, \fBoid\fR" 4
.IX Item "nofname, sname, lname, oid"
these options alter how the field name is displayed. \fBnofname\fR does
not display the field at all. \fBsname\fR uses the \*(L"short name\*(R" form
(\s-1CN\s0 for commonName for example). \fBlname\fR uses the long form.
\&\fBoid\fR represents the \s-1OID\s0 in numerical form and is useful for
diagnostic purpose.
.IP "\fBalign\fR" 4
.IX Item "align"
align field values for a more readable output. Only usable with
\&\fBsep_multiline\fR.
.IP "\fBspace_eq\fR" 4
.IX Item "space_eq"
places spaces round the \fB=\fR character which follows the field
name.
.SS "\s-1TEXT OPTIONS\s0"
.IX Subsection "TEXT OPTIONS"
As well as customising the name output format, it is also possible to
customise the actual fields printed using the \fBcertopt\fR options when
the \fBtext\fR option is present. The default behaviour is to print all fields.
.IP "\fBcompatible\fR" 4
.IX Item "compatible"
use the old format. This is equivalent to specifying no output options at all.
.IP "\fBno_header\fR" 4
.IX Item "no_header"
don't print header information: that is the lines saying \*(L"Certificate\*(R" and \*(L"Data\*(R".
.IP "\fBno_version\fR" 4
.IX Item "no_version"
don't print out the version number.
.IP "\fBno_serial\fR" 4
.IX Item "no_serial"
don't print out the serial number.
.IP "\fBno_signame\fR" 4
.IX Item "no_signame"
don't print out the signature algorithm used.
.IP "\fBno_validity\fR" 4
.IX Item "no_validity"
don't print the validity, that is the \fBnotBefore\fR and \fBnotAfter\fR fields.
.IP "\fBno_subject\fR" 4
.IX Item "no_subject"
don't print out the subject name.
.IP "\fBno_issuer\fR" 4
.IX Item "no_issuer"
don't print out the issuer name.
.IP "\fBno_pubkey\fR" 4
.IX Item "no_pubkey"
don't print out the public key.
.IP "\fBno_sigdump\fR" 4
.IX Item "no_sigdump"
don't give a hexadecimal dump of the certificate signature.
.IP "\fBno_aux\fR" 4
.IX Item "no_aux"
don't print out certificate trust information.
.IP "\fBno_extensions\fR" 4
.IX Item "no_extensions"
don't print out any X509V3 extensions.
.IP "\fBext_default\fR" 4
.IX Item "ext_default"

.IP "\fBext_error\fR" 4
.IX Item "ext_error"
print an error message for unsupported certificate extensions.
.IP "\fBext_parse\fR" 4
.IX Item "ext_parse"
\&\s-1ASN1\s0 parse unsupported extensions.
.IP "\fBext_dump\fR" 4
.IX Item "ext_dump"
hex dump unsupported extensions.
.IP "\fBca_default\fR" 4
.IX Item "ca_default"
the value used by the \fBca\fR utility, equivalent to \fBno_issuer\fR, \fBno_pubkey\fR, \fBno_header\fR,
\&\fBno_version\fR, \fBno_sigdump\fR and \fBno_signame\fR.

The conversion to \s-1UTF8\s0 format used with the name options assumes that
T61Strings use the \s-1ISO8859\-1\s0 character set. This is wrong but Netscape
and \s-1MSIE\s0 do this as do many certificates. So although this is incorrect
it is more likely to display the majority of certificates correctly.
.PP
The \fB\-fingerprint\fR option takes the digest of the \s-1DER\s0 encoded certificate.
This is commonly called a \*(L"fingerprint\*(R". Because of the nature of message
digests the fingerprint of a certificate is unique to that certificate and
two certificates with the same fingerprint can be considered to be the same.
.PP
The Netscape fingerprint uses \s-1MD5\s0 whereas \s-1MSIE\s0 uses \s-1SHA1.\s0
.PP
The \fB\-email\fR option searches the subject name and the subject alternative
name extension. Only unique email addresses will be printed out: it will
not print the same address more than once.
.SH "CERTIFICATE EXTENSIONS"
.IX Header "CERTIFICATE EXTENSIONS"
The \fB\-purpose\fR option checks the certificate extensions and determines
what the certificate can be used for. The actual checks done are rather
complex and include various hacks and workarounds to handle broken
certificates and software.
.PP
The same code is used when verifying untrusted certificates in chains
so this section is useful if a chain is rejected by the verify code.
.PP
The basicConstraints extension \s-1CA\s0 flag is used to determine whether the
certificate can be used as a \s-1CA.\s0 If the \s-1CA\s0 flag is true then it is a \s-1CA,\s0
if the \s-1CA\s0 flag is false then it is not a \s-1CA. \s0\fBAll\fR CAs should have the
\&\s-1CA\s0 flag set to true.
.PP
If the basicConstraints extension is absent then the certificate is
considered to be a \*(L"possible \s-1CA\*(R"\s0 other extensions are checked according
to the intended use of the certificate. A warning is given in this case
because the certificate should really not be regarded as a \s-1CA:\s0 however
it is allowed to be a \s-1CA\s0 to work around some broken software.
.PP
If the certificate is a V1 certificate (and thus has no extensions) and
it is self signed it is also assumed to be a \s-1CA\s0 but a warning is again
given: this is to work around the problem of Verisign roots which are V1
self signed certificates.
.PP
If the keyUsage extension is present then additional restraints are
made on the uses of the certificate. A \s-1CA\s0 certificate \fBmust\fR have the
keyCertSign bit set if the keyUsage extension is present.
.PP
The extended key usage extension places additional restrictions on the
certificate uses. If this extension is present (whether critical or not)
the key can only be used for the purposes specified.
.PP
A complete description of each test is given below. The comments about
basicConstraints and keyUsage and V1 certificates above apply to \fBall\fR
\&\s-1CA\s0 certificates.
.IP "\fB\s-1SSL\s0 Client\fR" 4
.IX Item "SSL Client"
The extended key usage extension must be absent or include the \*(L"web client
authentication\*(R" \s-1OID. \s0 keyUsage must be absent or it must have the
digitalSignature bit set. Netscape certificate type must be absent or it must
have the \s-1SSL\s0 client bit set.
.IP "\fB\s-1SSL\s0 Client \s-1CA\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "SSL Client CA"
The extended key usage extension must be absent or include the \*(L"web client
authentication\*(R" \s-1OID.\s0 Netscape certificate type must be absent or it must have
the \s-1SSL CA\s0 bit set: this is used as a work around if the basicConstraints
extension is absent.
.IP "\fB\s-1SSL\s0 Server\fR" 4
.IX Item "SSL Server"
The extended key usage extension must be absent or include the \*(L"web server
authentication\*(R" and/or one of the \s-1SGC\s0 OIDs.  keyUsage must be absent or it
must have the digitalSignature, the keyEncipherment set or both bits set.
Netscape certificate type must be absent or have the \s-1SSL\s0 server bit set.
.IP "\fB\s-1SSL\s0 Server \s-1CA\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "SSL Server CA"
The extended key usage extension must be absent or include the \*(L"web server
authentication\*(R" and/or one of the \s-1SGC\s0 OIDs.  Netscape certificate type must
be absent or the \s-1SSL CA\s0 bit must be set: this is used as a work around if the
basicConstraints extension is absent.
.IP "\fBNetscape \s-1SSL\s0 Server\fR" 4
.IX Item "Netscape SSL Server"
For Netscape \s-1SSL\s0 clients to connect to an \s-1SSL\s0 server it must have the
keyEncipherment bit set if the keyUsage extension is present. This isn't
always valid because some cipher suites use the key for digital signing.
Otherwise it is the same as a normal \s-1SSL\s0 server.
.IP "\fBCommon S/MIME Client Tests\fR" 4
.IX Item "Common S/MIME Client Tests"
The extended key usage extension must be absent or include the \*(L"email
protection\*(R" \s-1OID.\s0 Netscape certificate type must be absent or should have the
S/MIME bit set. If the S/MIME bit is not set in netscape certificate type
then the \s-1SSL\s0 client bit is tolerated as an alternative but a warning is shown:
this is because some Verisign certificates don't set the S/MIME bit.
.IP "\fBS/MIME Signing\fR" 4
.IX Item "S/MIME Signing"
In addition to the common S/MIME client tests the digitalSignature bit must
be set if the keyUsage extension is present.
.IP "\fBS/MIME Encryption\fR" 4
.IX Item "S/MIME Encryption"
In addition to the common S/MIME tests the keyEncipherment bit must be set
if the keyUsage extension is present.
.IP "\fBS/MIME \s-1CA\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "S/MIME CA"
The extended key usage extension must be absent or include the \*(L"email
protection\*(R" \s-1OID.\s0 Netscape certificate type must be absent or must have the
S/MIME \s-1CA\s0 bit set: this is used as a work around if the basicConstraints
extension is absent.
.IP "\fB\s-1CRL\s0 Signing\fR" 4
.IX Item "CRL Signing"
The keyUsage extension must be absent or it must have the \s-1CRL\s0 signing bit
set.
.IP "\fB\s-1CRL\s0 Signing \s-1CA\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "CRL Signing CA"
The normal \s-1CA\s0 tests apply. Except in this case the basicConstraints extension
must be present.
.SH "BUGS"
.IX Header "BUGS"
Extensions in certificates are not transferred to certificate requests and
vice versa.
.PP
It is possible to produce invalid certificates or requests by specifying the
wrong private key or using inconsistent options in some cases: these should
be checked.
.PP
There should be options to explicitly set such things as start and end
dates rather than an offset from the current time.
.PP
The code to implement the verify behaviour described in the \fB\s-1TRUST SETTINGS\s0\fR
is currently being developed. It thus describes the intended behaviour rather
than the current behaviour. It is hoped that it will represent reality in
OpenSSL 0.9.5 and later.

Before OpenSSL 0.9.8, the default digest for \s-1RSA\s0 keys was \s-1MD5.\s0
.PP
The hash algorithm used in the \fB\-subject_hash\fR and \fB\-issuer_hash\fR options
before OpenSSL 1.0.0 was based on the deprecated \s-1MD5\s0 algorithm and the encoding
of the distinguished name. In OpenSSL 1.0.0 and later it is based on a
canonical version of the \s-1DN\s0 using \s-1SHA1.\s0 This means that any directories using
the old form must have their links rebuilt using \fBc_rehash\fR or similar.
