DESCRIPTION
       Cert2ldap is used to import a certificate into  an  LDAP	 directory  in
       such a as to allow the mod_authz_ldap Apache module to authenticate and
       authorize users based on their certificates.  The certificate is either
       specified as a certificatefilename argument on the command line or read
       from standard input.  There are essentially two ways to	use  the  pro‐
       gram:  either a certificate is added as a userCertifcate attribute to a
       users node, or a certificate mapping node is added  somewhere  else  in
       the directory, referencing the user.

       The  second  form is active as soon as one if the options -i, -s, -o or
       -n are used. The first form uses only the -c option. The	 correct  con‐
       figuration of the entires can be checked using the certfind(1) program.

       If  the	node  to be updated does not exist yet, a minimal node is cre‐
       ated.  However this is only marginally useful in the  case  of  a  node
       containing the certificate proper.
