  167. .SH "DESCRIPTION"
  168. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  169. The \fB\s-1CA\s0.pl\fR script is a perl script that supplies the relevant command line
  170. arguments to the \fBopenssl\fR\|(1) command for some common certificate operations.
  171. It is intended to simplify the process of certificate creation and management
  172. by the use of some simple options.
  173. .PP
  174. The script is intended as a simple front end for the \fBopenssl\fR\|(1) program for
  175. use by a beginner. Its behaviour isn't always what is wanted. For more control
  176. over the behaviour of the certificate commands call the \fBopenssl\fR\|(1) command
  177. directly.
  178. .PP
  179. Most of the filenames mentioned below can be modified by editing the
  180. \&\fB\s-1CA\s0.pl\fR script.
  181. .PP
  182. Under some environments it may not be possible to run the \fB\s-1CA\s0.pl\fR script
  183. directly (for example Win32) and the default configuration file location may
  184. be wrong. In this case the command:
  185. .PP
  186. .Vb 1
  187. \& perl \-S CA.pl
  188. .Ve
  189. .PP
  190. can be used and the \fB\s-1OPENSSL_CONF\s0\fR environment variable can be set to point to
  191. the correct path of the configuration file.
  192. .SH "OPTIONS"
  193. .IX Header "OPTIONS"
  194. .IP "\fB\-?\fR, \fB\-h\fR, \fB\-help\fR" 4
  195. .IX Item "-?, -h, -help"
  196. Prints a usage message.
  197. .IP "\fB\-newcert\fR" 4
  198. .IX Item "-newcert"
  199. Creates a new self signed certificate. The private key is written to the file
  200. \&\fInewkey.pem\fR and the request written to the file \fInewreq.pem\fR.
  201. Invokes \fBopenssl\-req\fR\|(1).
  202. .IP "\fB\-newreq\fR" 4
  203. .IX Item "-newreq"
  204. Creates a new certificate request. The private key is written to the file
  205. \&\fInewkey.pem\fR and the request written to the file \fInewreq.pem\fR.
  206. Executes \fBopenssl\-req\fR\|(1) under the hood.
  207. .IP "\fB\-newreq\-nodes\fR" 4
  208. .IX Item "-newreq-nodes"
  209. Is like \fB\-newreq\fR except that the private key will not be encrypted.
  210. Uses \fBopenssl\-req\fR\|(1).
  211. .IP "\fB\-newca\fR" 4
  212. .IX Item "-newca"
  213. Creates a new \s-1CA\s0 hierarchy for use with the \fBca\fR program (or the \fB\-signcert\fR
  214. and \fB\-xsign\fR options). The user is prompted to enter the filename of the \s-1CA\s0
  215. certificates (which should also contain the private key) or by hitting \s-1ENTER\s0
  216. details of the \s-1CA\s0 will be prompted for. The relevant files and directories
  217. are created in a directory called \fIdemoCA\fR in the current directory.
  218. Uses \fBopenssl\-req\fR\|(1) and \fBopenssl\-ca\fR\|(1).
  219. .Sp
  220. If the \fIdemoCA\fR directory already exists then the \fB\-newca\fR command will not
  221. overwrite it and will do nothing. This can happen if a previous call using
  222. the \fB\-newca\fR option terminated abnormally. To get the correct behaviour
  223. delete the directory if it already exists.
  224. .IP "\fB\-pkcs12\fR" 4
  225. .IX Item "-pkcs12"
  226. Create a PKCS#12 file containing the user certificate, private key and \s-1CA\s0
  227. certificate. It expects the user certificate and private key to be in the
  228. file \fInewcert.pem\fR and the \s-1CA\s0 certificate to be in the file \fIdemoCA/cacert.pem\fR,
  229. it creates a file \fInewcert.p12\fR. This command can thus be called after the
  230. \&\fB\-sign\fR option. The PKCS#12 file can be imported directly into a browser.
  231. If there is an additional argument on the command line it will be used as the
  232. \&\*(L"friendly name\*(R" for the certificate (which is typically displayed in the browser
  233. list box), otherwise the name \*(L"My Certificate\*(R" is used.
  234. Delegates work to \fBopenssl\-pkcs12\fR\|(1).
  235. .IP "\fB\-sign\fR, \fB\-signcert\fR, \fB\-xsign\fR" 4
  236. .IX Item "-sign, -signcert, -xsign"
  237. Calls the \fBopenssl\-ca\fR\|(1) command to sign a certificate request. It expects the
  238. request to be in the file \fInewreq.pem\fR. The new certificate is written to the
  239. file \fInewcert.pem\fR except in the case of the \fB\-xsign\fR option when it is
  240. written to standard output.
  241. .IP "\fB\-signCA\fR" 4
  242. .IX Item "-signCA"
  243. This option is the same as the \fB\-sign\fR option except it uses the
  244. configuration file section \fBv3_ca\fR and so makes the signed request a
  245. valid \s-1CA\s0 certificate. This is useful when creating intermediate \s-1CA\s0 from
  246. a root \s-1CA.\s0 Extra params are passed to \fBopenssl\-ca\fR\|(1).
  247. .IP "\fB\-signcert\fR" 4
  248. .IX Item "-signcert"
  249. This option is the same as \fB\-sign\fR except it expects a self signed certificate
  250. to be present in the file \fInewreq.pem\fR.
  251. Extra params are passed to \fBopenssl\-x509\fR\|(1) and \fBopenssl\-ca\fR\|(1).
  252. .IP "\fB\-crl\fR" 4
  253. .IX Item "-crl"
  254. Generate a \s-1CRL.\s0 Executes \fBopenssl\-ca\fR\|(1).
  255. .IP "\fB\-revoke\fR \fIcertfile\fR [\fIreason\fR]" 4
  256. .IX Item "-revoke certfile [reason]"
  257. Revoke the certificate contained in the specified \fBcertfile\fR. An optional
  258. reason may be specified, and must be one of: \fBunspecified\fR,
  259. \&\fBkeyCompromise\fR, \fBCACompromise\fR, \fBaffiliationChanged\fR, \fBsuperseded\fR,
  260. \&\fBcessationOfOperation\fR, \fBcertificateHold\fR, or \fBremoveFromCRL\fR.
  261. Leverages \fBopenssl\-ca\fR\|(1).
  262. .IP "\fB\-verify\fR" 4
  263. .IX Item "-verify"
  264. Verifies certificates against the \s-1CA\s0 certificate for \fIdemoCA\fR. If no
  265. certificates are specified on the command line it tries to verify the file
  266. \&\fInewcert.pem\fR. Invokes \fBopenssl\-verify\fR\|(1).
  267. .IP "\fB\-extra\-\f(BIcmd\fB\fR \fIparameter\fR" 4
  268. .IX Item "-extra-cmd parameter"
  269. For each option \fBextra\-\f(BIcmd\fB\fR, pass \fIparameter\fR to the \fBopenssl\fR\|(1)
  270. sub-command with the same name as \fIcmd\fR, if that sub-command is invoked.
  271. For example, if \fBopenssl\-req\fR\|(1) is invoked, the \fIparameter\fR given with
  272. \&\fB\-extra\-req\fR will be passed to it.
  273. For multi-word parameters, either repeat the option or quote the \fIparameters\fR
  274. so it looks like one word to your shell.
  275. See the individual command documentation for more information.
