nseq(1ssl) nseq(1ssl) NAME nseq - Create or examine a netscape certificate sequence SYNOPSIS openssl nseq [-in filename] [-out filename] [-toseq] OPTIONS Specifies the input filename to read or standard input if this option is not specified. Specifies the output filename or standard output by default. Normally a Netscape certificate sequence will be input and the output is the certificates contained in it. With the -toseq option the situation is reversed; a Netscape certificate sequence is created from a file of certificates. DESCRIPTION The 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. NOTES The PEM encoded form uses the same headers and footers as a certifi‐ cate: -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- -----END CERTIFICATE----- A Netscape certificate sequence is a Netscape specific form 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 cer‐ tificate enrollment. It is used by Netscape certificate server for example. RESTRICTIONS This program needs a few more options, such as allowing DER or PEM input and output files and allowing multiple certificate files to be used. 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 nseq(1ssl)[top]
