PKCS10Client - Used to generate 1024-bit RSA key pair in the security database.

Authors

       Amol Kahat lt;akahat@redhat.comgt;.

Description

       The PKCS #10 utility, PKCS10Client, generates a RSA or EC key pair in the security database, constructs a
       PKCS #10 certificate request with the public key, and outputs the request to a file.

       PKCS#10 is a certification request syntax standard defined by RSA.  A CA may support multiple  types  of
       certificate requests.  The Certificate System CA supports KEYGEN, PKCS #10, CRMF, and CMC.

Name

       PKCS10Client - Used to generate 1024-bit RSA key pair in the security database.

Options

PKCS10Client parameters:

       -dNSS-database
           The directory containing the NSS database. This is usually the client's personal directory.

       -hNSS-token
           Name of the token. By default it takes internal.

       -pNSS-token
           The password to the token.

       -aalgorithm
           The algorithm type either rsa or ec. By default it takes rsa.

       -lrsa-key-length
           The RSA key bit length when -arsa is specified. By default it is 1024.

       -cec-curve-name
           Eleptic Curve cryptography curve name.
           Possible values are (if provided by the crypto module):
           nistp256 (secp256r1), nistp384 (secp384r1), nistp521 (secp521r1), nistk163 (sect163k1),

       -ooutput-file
           Sets the path and filename to output the new PKCS #10 certificate in base64 format.

       -nsubject-DN
           Gives the subject DN of the certificate.

       -kenable-encodingtrue for enabling encoding of attribute values; false for default encoding of attribute values;
           default is false.

       -ttemporarytrue for temporary(session); false for permanent(token); default is false.

       -eextractable1 for extractable; 0 for non-extractable; -1 token dependent; default is -1.

       Also optional for ECC key generation:

       -xecdh-ecdsatrue for SSL cert that does ECDH ECDSA; false otherwise; default false.

       -yski-extensiontrue for adding SubjectKeyIdentifier extension for self-signed CMC shared secret requests;
           false otherwise; default false.
           To be used with request.useSharedSecret=true when running CMCRequest.

Synopsis

       To get a certificate from the CA, the certificate request needs to be submitted to and approved by  a  CA
       agent.   Once  approved,  a  certificate  is created for the request, and certificate attributes, such as
       extensions, are populated according to certificate profiles.
