13
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.
33
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.
65
67 Package a Simple CA with hash 0146c503.
