SYNOPSIS

10       grid-ca-sign [-ca HASH] [-g] [-b] [-r] [-d]
11
12       grid-ca-sign [ -help| -h| -usage| -version| -versions ]

DESCRIPTION

15       The grid-ca-sign utility creates a tarball containing an RPM spec file
16       and the files needed to use a CA with grid tools. It optionally will
17       also create a GPT package for distributing a CA.
18
19       By default, the grid-ca-sign utility displays a list of installed grid
20       CA and prompts for which CA to package. It then creates a tarball
21       containing the CA certificate, signing policy, CA configuration files,
22       and an spec script to generate a binary RPM package containing the CA.
23       If the CA hash is known prior to running grid-ca-sign, it may provided
24       as an argument to the -ca parameter to avoid prompting.
25
26       In addition to generating a spec script and tarball, grid-ca-sign
27       creates a GPT package if either the -g or -b options are used on the
28       command-line. These packages may be used to distribute a CA and
29       configuration to systems which do not support RPM packages.
30
31       The grid-ca-sign utility writes the package tarballs to the current
32       working directory.

OPTIONS

35       The full set of command-line options to grid-ca-sign follows:
36
37       -help, -h, -usage
38           Display the command-line options to grid-ca-sign and exit.
39
40       -version, -versions
41           Display the version number of the grid-ca-sign command. The second
42           form includes more details.
43
44       -ca CA
45           Use the CA whose name matches the hash string CA. When invoked with
46           this option, grid-ca-sign runs non-interactively.
47
48       -g
49           Create a GPT binary package in addition to the RPM script tarball.
50           This package may be installed on other systems using the
51           gpt-install program.
52
53       -b
54           Create a GPT binary package with GPT metadata located in the path
55           expected by GPT 3.2 (used in Globus 2.0.0-5.0.x) instead of
56           overrides the -g command-line option.
57
58       -r
59           Create a binary RPM package for the CA. This option currently only
60           works on RPM-based distributions.
61
62       -d
63           Create a binary Debian package for the CA. This option currently
64           only works on Debian-based distributions.

EXAMPLES

67       Package a Simple CA with hash 0146c503.
