NAME
openssl-nseq - create or examine a Netscape certificate sequence
SYNOPSIS
openssl nseq
[-help]
[-in filename]
[-out filename]
[-toseq]
[-provider name]
[-provider-path path]
[-propquery propq]
DESCRIPTION
This command takes a file containing a Netscape certificate
sequence and prints out the certificates contained in it or takes a
file of certificates and converts it into a Netscape certificate
sequence.
A Netscape certificate sequence is an old Netscape-specific format that
can be sometimes be sent to browsers as an alternative to the standard PKCS#7
format when several certificates are sent to the browser, for example during
certificate enrollment. It was also used by Netscape certificate server.
