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.
