DESCRIPTION

13       This application is intended as CA, certificate- and Key store. It uses
14       a  Berkeley  db  for storage to have everything in one file.  Supported
15       are Certificate signing requests (PKCS#10), Certificates (X509v3),  RSA
16       keys  and  Certificate  revokation lists.  The signing of requests, and
17       the creation of selfsigned certificates is supported. Both can use tem‐
18       plates for simplicity.  The PKI structures can be imported and exported
19       in several formats like PKCS#12, PEM, DER, PKCS#8, PKCS#7.

28              signing requests or SPKAC requests.
29
30       -k     expect all following non-option arguments to be RSA keys.
31
32       -c     expect all following non-option arguments to be Certificates.
33
34       -p     expect all following non-option arguments to be PKCS#12 files.
35
36       -7     expect all following non-option arguments to be PKCS#7 files.
37
38       -l     expect  all  following  non-option  arguments  to  be Revocation
39              lists.

41       -t     expect all following non-option arguments to be XCA templates.
42
43       -d     expect the following argument to be the database name to use.
44
45       -b     expect the following argument to be the  basedirectory  for  the

48       -x     Exit  after  processing  all commandline options.  Usually after
49              importing the items in -k -r -c -p -7 -l -t the application will
50              startup  as  usual.  With the -x option given it will exit after
51              finishing the import dialog. This is usefull if xca is  used  as
52              default application for viewing certificates, keys or requests.
