NAME
openssl-crl2pkcs7 - Create a PKCS#7 structure from a CRL and certificates
SYNOPSIS
openssl crl2pkcs7
[-help]
[-inform DER|PEM]
[-outform DER|PEM]
[-in filename]
[-out filename]
[-certfile filename]
[-nocrl]
[-provider name]
[-provider-path path]
[-propquery propq]
DESCRIPTION
This command takes an optional CRL and one or more
certificates and converts them into a PKCS#7 degenerate ``certificates
only'' structure.
OPTIONS
- -help
-
Print out a usage message.
- -inform DER|PEM
-
The input format of the CRL; the default is PEM.
See openssl-format-options(1) for details.
- -outform DER|PEM
-
The output format of the PKCS#7 object; the default is PEM.
See openssl-format-options(1) for details.
- -in filename
-
This specifies the input filename to read a CRL from or standard input if this
option is not specified.
- -out filename
-
Specifies the output filename to write the PKCS#7 structure to or standard
output by default.
- -certfile filename
-
Specifies a filename containing one or more certificates in PEM format.
All certificates in the file will be added to the PKCS#7 structure. This
option can be used more than once to read certificates from multiple
files.
- -nocrl
-
Normally a CRL is included in the output file. With this option no CRL is
included in the output file and a CRL is not read from the input file.
- -provider name
-
- -provider-path path
-
- -propquery propq
-
See ``Provider Options'' in openssl(1), provider(7), and property(7).
EXAMPLES
Create a PKCS#7 structure from a certificate and CRL:
openssl crl2pkcs7 -in crl.pem -certfile cert.pem -out p7.pem
Creates a PKCS#7 structure in DER format with no CRL from several
different certificates:
openssl crl2pkcs7 -nocrl -certfile newcert.pem
-certfile demoCA/cacert.pem -outform DER -out p7.der
NOTES
The output file is a PKCS#7 signed data structure containing no signers and
just certificates and an optional CRL.
This command can be used to send certificates and CAs to Netscape as part of
the certificate enrollment process. This involves sending the DER encoded output
as MIME type application/x-x509-user-cert.
The PEM encoded form with the header and footer lines removed can be used to
install user certificates and CAs in MSIE using the Xenroll control.
