NAME

6       openssl-nseq, nseq - create or examine a Netscape certificate sequence
7

SYNOPSIS

9       openssl nseq [-help] [-in filename] [-out filename] [-toseq]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The nseq command takes a file containing a Netscape certificate
13       sequence and prints out the certificates contained in it or takes a
14       file of certificates and converts it into a Netscape certificate
15       sequence.
16

OPTIONS

18       -help
19           Print out a usage message.
20
21       -in filename
22           This specifies the input filename to read or standard input if this
23           option is not specified.
24
25       -out filename
26           Specifies the output filename or standard output by default.
27
28       -toseq
29           Normally a Netscape certificate sequence will be input and the
30           output is the certificates contained in it. With the -toseq option
31           the situation is reversed: a Netscape certificate sequence is
32           created from a file of certificates.
33

EXAMPLES

35       Output the certificates in a Netscape certificate sequence
36
37        openssl nseq -in nseq.pem -out certs.pem
38
39       Create a Netscape certificate sequence
40
41        openssl nseq -in certs.pem -toseq -out nseq.pem
42

NOTES

44       The PEM encoded form uses the same headers and footers as a
45       certificate:
46
47        -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
48        -----END CERTIFICATE-----
49
50       A Netscape certificate sequence is a Netscape specific format that can
51       be sent to browsers as an alternative to the standard PKCS#7 format
52       when several certificates are sent to the browser: for example during
53       certificate enrollment.  It is used by Netscape certificate server for
54       example.
55

BUGS

57       This program needs a few more options: like allowing DER or PEM input
58       and output files and allowing multiple certificate files to be used.
