axa_make_cert(8)	    System Manager's Manual	      axa_make_cert(8)

NAME
       axa_make_cert --	Make an	AXA Certificate

SYNOPSIS
       axa_make_cert [-x] [-S certsdir]	[-l days] -u name

DESCRIPTION
       axa_make_cert  creates  self-signed AXA certificate, name.pem, and pri-
       vate key	file, name.key,	where name has been set	with -u.  Name	should
       be  an  AXA user	name or	the name of an AXA server.  The	files are cre-
       ated in the -S certs directory.

   OPTIONS
       -x   enables debugging output.

       -S certsdir
	    sets the target AXA	SSL  certificate  to  certsdir.	  By  default,
	    axa_make_cert  looks  for a	writable $AXACONF/certs, ~/.axa/certs,
	    or /usr/local/etc/axa/certs.  It tries to create  a	 directory  in
	    the	same order if that search fails.

       -l days
	    sets  the  lifetime	 of the	certificate to days instead of the de-
	    fault 3650.

       -u name
	    sets the CN	(common	name) for the certificate.  The	CN  identifies
	    the	AXA user to a server or	a server to an AXA client.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       If  set,	 AXACONF specifies the AXA configuration directory instead of,
       ~/.axa or /usr/local/etc/axa.
