crl2pkcs7(1ssl)						       crl2pkcs7(1ssl)

NAME
       crl2pkcs7 - Creates a PKCS#7 structure from a CRL and certificates.

SYNOPSIS
       openssl	crl2pkcs7  [-inform PEM | DER] [-outform PEM | DER] [-in file‐
       name] [-out filename] [-certfile filename] [-nocrl]

OPTIONS
       Specifies the CRL input format.	DER format is DER encoded  CRL	struc‐
       ture.PEM (the default) is a base64 encoded version of the DER form with
       header and footer lines.	 Specifies the PKCS#7 structure output format.
       The  DER	 format is DER encoded PKCS#7 structure. The PEM (the default)
       is a base64 encoded version of the DER  form  with  header  and	footer
       lines.	This  specifies the input filename to read a CRL from or stan‐
       dard input if this option is not specified.  Specifies the output file‐
       name  to	 write	the PKCS#7 structure to or standard output by default.
       Specifies a filename containing one or more certificates in PEM format.
       All  certificates  in  the  file will be added to the PKCS#7 structure.
       This option can be used more than once to read certificates form multi‐
       ple  files.   Normally  a CRL is included in the output file. With this
       option no CRL is included in the output file and a CRL is not read from
       the input file.

DESCRIPTION
       The  crl2pkcs7  command	takes an optional CRL and one or more certifi‐
       cates and converts them into  a	PKCS#7	degenerate  certificates  only
       structure.

NOTES
       The output file is a PKCS#7 signed data structure containing no signers
       and just certificates and an optional CRL.

       This utility can be used to send certificates and CAs  to  Netscape  as
       part  of	 the certificate enrollment process. This involves sending the
       DER encoded output as MIME type application/x-x509-user-cert.

       The PEM encoded form with the header and footer lines  removed  can  be
       used  to	 install  user	certificates and CAs in MSIE using the Xenroll
       control.

EXAMPLES
       Create a PKCS#7 structure from a certificate and CRL:
	openssl crl2pkcs7 -in crl.pem -certfile cert.pem -out p7.pem

       Creates a PKCS#7 structure in DER format with no CRL from several  dif‐
       ferent certificates:
	openssl	  crl2pkcs7   -nocrl   -certfile   newcert.pem	     -certfile
       demoCA/cacert.pem -outform DER -out p7.der
