NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

9       openssl nseq [-help] [-in filename] [-out filename] [-toseq] [-provider
10       name] [-provider-path path] [-propquery propq]

DESCRIPTION

13       This command takes a file containing a Netscape certificate sequence
14       and prints out the certificates contained in it or takes a file of
15       certificates and converts it into a Netscape certificate sequence.
16
17       A Netscape certificate sequence is an old Netscape-specific format that
18       can be sometimes be sent to browsers as an alternative to the standard
19       PKCS#7 format when several certificates are sent to the browser, for
20       example during certificate enrollment.  It was also used by Netscape
21       certificate server.
22

OPTIONS

24       -help
25           Print out a usage message.
26
27       -in filename
28           This specifies the input filename to read or standard input if this
29           option is not specified.
30
31       -out filename
32           Specifies the output filename or standard output by default.
33
34       -toseq
35           Normally a Netscape certificate sequence will be input and the
36           output is the certificates contained in it. With the -toseq option
37           the situation is reversed: a Netscape certificate sequence is
38           created from a file of certificates.
39
40       -provider name
41       -provider-path path
42       -propquery propq
43           See "Provider Options" in openssl(1), provider(7), and property(7).
