Options may be specified indifferently with either a "-" or "--" prefix.
-help Displays usage.
-version Displays version.
-debug Enables extra debug output.
-q Quiet mode, minimal output.
-verify Verifies certificate to make proxy for.
-pwstdin Allows passphrase from stdin.
-limited Creates a limited proxy.
-hoursH Proxy is valid for H hours (default:12).
-vomslifeH Tries to get an AC with information valid for H hours. The default is "as long as the proxy
certificate". The special value 0 means as long as the server will allow.
-bitsB Number of bits in key {0|512|1024|2048|4096}. 0 is a special value which means: same number of
bits as in the issuing certificate.
-certcertfile Non-standard location of user certificate
-keykeyfile Non-standard location of user key
-certdircertdir Location of trusted certificates dir
-outproxyfile Location of new proxy cert
-vomsvoms[:command] Specifies the fake VOMS server that will appear in the attribute certificate.
command is ignored and is present for compatibility with voms-proxy-init.
-includefile Includes file in the certificate (in a non critical extension)
-conffile Read options from file.
-policy The file containing the policy expression.
-policy-languagepl The language in which the policy is expressed. Default is IMPERSONATION_PROXY.
-path-length Maximum depth of proxy certfificate that can be signed from this.
-globusversion This option is obsolete and only present for backwards compatibility with old
installations. Currently, its value is ignored.
-proxyver Version of the proxy certificate to create. May be 2 or 3. Default value is decided upon
underlying globus version.
-separatefile Saves the voms credential on file file.
-hostcertfile The cert that will be used to sign the AC.
-hostkeyfile The key thet will be used to sign the AC.
-fqanfile The string that will be included in the AC as the granted FQAN.
-newformat
This forces the server to generate ACs in the new (correct) format. This is meant as a compatibility
feature to ease migration while the servers upgrade to the new version.
-newsubjectnewdn
The created proxy will have newdn as subject rather than what is would normally have depending on the
specific version of proxy created. Non-printable characters may be specified via the '\XX' encoding,
where XX are two hexadecimal characters.
-newissuernewdn
The created proxy will have newdn as issuer rather than what is would normally have depending on the
specific version of proxy created. Non-printable characters may be specified via the '\XX' encoding,
where XX are two hexadecimal characters.
-newserialnewserial
The created proxy will have the newserial as its serial number. The new serial number will have to be
specified as an hex representation. Any length is possible. If this option is not specified,
voms-proxy-fake will choose the serial number.
-pastactimespec
The created AC will have its validity start in the past, as specified by timespec.
The format of timespec is one of: seconds, hours:minutes, hours:minutes:seconds-pastproxytimespec
The created proxy will have its validity start in the past as specified by timespec
The format of timespec is one of: seconds, hours:minutes, hours:minutes:seconds-nscertbit,...,bit
The created proxy will have the specified bits in the Netscape Certificate Extension. Acceptable values
for bit are: client, server, email, objsign, sslCA, emailCA, objCA. The default value is not to have this
extension.
-extkeyusagebit,...,bit
The created proxy will have the specified bits in the Extended Key Usage Extension. Acceptable values for
bit are: serverAuth, clientAuth, codeSigning, emailProtection, timeStamping, msCodeInd, msCodeCom,
msCTLSign, msSGC, msEFS, nsSGC, deltaCRL. The default value is not to have this extensions.
-keyusagebit,...,bit
The created proxy will have the specified bits in the Key Usage Extensions. Acceptable values for bit
are: digitalSignature, nonRepudiation, keyEncipherment, dataEncipherment, keyAgreement, keyCertSign,
cRLSign, encipherOnly, decipherOnly. The default value is to copy this extensions from the issuer
certificate while removing the keyCertSign and nonRepudiation bits if present.
-selfsigned
The created certificate will be a self-signed certificate and have a CA=true bit in the Basic constraints
Exception.
-extensionoid[/criticality]value
This option allows one to specify additional extensions to be put in the created certificate.
oid is the Object Identifier of the extensions. Any OID may be used even if it is not already known in
advance. This must always be specified. There is no default.
criticality specifies whether the extensions is critical or not, and it must be either true or false. If
absent, it defaults to false.
value is the value of the extensions. It is composed by two subfields, type and content. type is a
single character, and specifies how the content is interpreted. ':' means that content is a text string
to be included as is. '~' means that content is an hex representation of the string. '+' means that
content is the name of a file which will contain the actual data.
-acextensionoid[/criticality]value
This option allows one to specify additional extensions to be put in the created attribute certificate.

-gaid = value[(qualifier)]
This option adds the generic attribute specified to the AC generated. Please note that spaces before and
after the '=' char are swallowed in the command line.
-voinfofile
The file file contains information for additional ACs that should be included in the created proxy. ACs
specified via the -voinfo option shall be added before ACs specified via the command line options.
The format of the file is the following:
[voname]
parameter=valueparameter=value...
