NAME

       xca  - A GUI for handling X509 certificates, RSA keys, PKCS#10 Requests
       and CRLs.

SYNOPSIS

       xca [-v] [-k] [-r] [-c] [-p] [-7] [-l] [-t] [-d] [-b] [-x]

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

       A summary of options are included below.

       -v     Show version information and exit.

       -r     expect all following  non-option  arguments  to  be  Certificate
              signing requests or SPKAC requests.

       -k     expect all following non-option arguments to be RSA keys.

       -c     expect all following non-option arguments to be Certificates.

       -p     expect all following non-option arguments to be PKCS#12 files.

       -7     expect all following non-option arguments to be PKCS#7 files.

       -l     expect  all  following  non-option  arguments  to  be Revocation
              lists.

       -t     expect all following non-option arguments to be XCA templates.

       -d     expect the following argument to be the database name to use.

       -b     expect the following argument to be the  basedirectory  for  the
              database(s) OIDs and database logs.

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