Initially, the manual page entry for the 'openssl cmd' command used to be available at 'cmd(1)'. Later, the aliases 'openssl-cmd(1)' was introduced, which made it easier to group the openssl commands using the 'apropos(1)' command or the shell's tab completion. In order to reduce cluttering of the global manual page namespace, the manual page entries without the 'openssl-' prefix have been deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0 and will be removed in OpenSSL 4.0.

=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
openssl-nseq - create or examine a Netscape certificate sequence
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
B<openssl> B<nseq>
|
|
[B<-help>]
|
|
[B<-in filename>]
|
|
[B<-out filename>]
|
|
[B<-toseq>]
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The B<nseq> command takes a file containing a Netscape certificate
|
|
sequence and prints out the certificates contained in it or takes a
|
|
file of certificates and converts it into a Netscape certificate
|
|
sequence.
|
|
|
|
=head1 OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item B<-help>
|
|
|
|
Print out a usage message.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-in filename>
|
|
|
|
This specifies the input filename to read or standard input if this
|
|
option is not specified.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-out filename>
|
|
|
|
Specifies the output filename or standard output by default.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-toseq>
|
|
|
|
Normally a Netscape certificate sequence will be input and the output
|
|
is the certificates contained in it. With the B<-toseq> option the
|
|
situation is reversed: a Netscape certificate sequence is created from
|
|
a file of certificates.

|
|
=head1 EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
Output the certificates in a Netscape certificate sequence
|
|
|
|
openssl nseq -in nseq.pem -out certs.pem
|
|
|
|
Create a Netscape certificate sequence
|
|
|
|
openssl nseq -in certs.pem -toseq -out nseq.pem
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
The B<PEM> encoded form uses the same headers and footers as a certificate:
|
|
|
|
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
|
|
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
|
|
|
|
A Netscape certificate sequence is a Netscape specific format that can be sent
|
|
to browsers as an alternative to the standard PKCS#7 format when several
|
|
certificates are sent to the browser: for example during certificate enrollment.
|
|
It is used by Netscape certificate server for example.
|
|
|
|
=head1 BUGS
|
|
|
|
This program needs a few more options: like allowing DER or PEM input and
|
|
output files and allowing multiple certificate files to be used.
