OPENSSL-NSEQ(1ossl) OpenSSL OPENSSL-NSEQ(1ossl) NAME openssl-nseq - create or examine a Netscape certificate sequence SYNOPSIS openssl nseq [-help] [-in filename] [-out filename] [-toseq] [-provider name] [-provider-path path] [-provparam [name:]key=value] [-propquery propq] DESCRIPTION This command takes a file containing a Netscape certificate sequence and prints out the certificates contained in it or takes a file of certificates and converts it into a Netscape certificate sequence. A Netscape certificate sequence is an old Netscape-specific format that can be sometimes be sent to browsers as an alternative to the standard PKCS#7 format when several certificates are sent to the browser, for example dur- ing certificate enrollment. It was also used by Netscape certificate server. OPTIONS -help Print out a usage message. -in filename This specifies the input filename to read or standard input if this op- tion is not specified. -out filename Specifies the output filename or standard output by default. -toseq Normally a Netscape certificate sequence will be input and the output is the certificates contained in it. With the -toseq option the situa- tion is reversed: a Netscape certificate sequence is created from a file of certificates. -provider name -provider-path path -provparam [name:]key=value -propquery propq See "Provider Options" in openssl(1), provider(7), and property(7). EXAMPLES Output the certificates in a Netscape certificate sequence openssl nseq -in nseq.pem -out certs.pem Create a Netscape certificate sequence openssl nseq -in certs.pem -toseq -out nseq.pem COPYRIGHT Copyright 2000-2020 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
