141 .TH NSEQ 1 "0.9.7a" "2003-02-19" "OpenSSL"
144 nseq \- create or examine a netscape certificate sequence
146 .IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
147 \&\fBopenssl\fR \fBnseq\fR
148 [\fB\-in filename\fR]
149 [\fB\-out filename\fR]
152 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
153 The \fBnseq\fR command takes a file containing a Netscape certificate
154 sequence and prints out the certificates contained in it or takes a
155 file of certificates and converts it into a Netscape certificate
157 .SH "COMMAND OPTIONS"
158 .IX Header "COMMAND OPTIONS"
159 .Ip "\fB\-in filename\fR" 4
160 .IX Item "-in filename"
161 This specifies the input filename to read or standard input if this
162 option is not specified.
163 .Ip "\fB\-out filename\fR" 4
164 .IX Item "-out filename"
165 specifies the output filename or standard output by default.
166 .Ip "\fB\-toseq\fR" 4
168 normally a Netscape certificate sequence will be input and the output
169 is the certificates contained in it. With the \fB\-toseq\fR option the
170 situation is reversed: a Netscape certificate sequence is created from
171 a file of certificates.
173 .IX Header "EXAMPLES"
174 Output the certificates in a Netscape certificate sequence
177 \& openssl nseq -in nseq.pem -out certs.pem
179 Create a Netscape certificate sequence
182 \& openssl nseq -in certs.pem -toseq -out nseq.pem
186 The \fB\s-1PEM\s0\fR encoded form uses the same headers and footers as a certificate:
189 \& -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
190 \& -----END CERTIFICATE-----
192 A Netscape certificate sequence is a Netscape specific form that can be sent
193 to browsers as an alternative to the standard PKCS#7 format when several
194 certificates are sent to the browser: for example during certificate enrollment.
195 It is used by Netscape certificate server for example.
198 This program needs a few more options: like allowing \s-1DER\s0 or \s-1PEM\s0 input and
199 output files and allowing multiple certificate files to be used.
