XCA(1)

NAME

xca - A GUI for handling X509 certificates, RSA keys, PKCS#10 Requests and CRLs.

SYNOPSIS

xca [-v] [-k] [-r] [-c] [-p] [-7] [-l] [-t] [-d] [-b] [-x]

DESCRIPTION

This application is intended as CA, certificate- and Key store. It uses a Berkeley db for storage to have everything in one file. Supported are Certificate signing requests (PKCS#10), Certificates (X509v3), RSA keys and Certificate revokation lists. The signing of requests, and the creation of selfsigned certificates is supported. Both can use templates for simplicity. The PKI structures can be imported and exported in several formats like PKCS#12, PEM, DER, PKCS#8, PKCS#7.

OPTIONS

A summary of options are included below.

-v Show version information and exit.

-r expect all following non-option arguments to be Certificate

signing requests or SPKAC requests.

-k expect all following non-option arguments to be RSA keys.

-c expect all following non-option arguments to be Certificates.

-p expect all following non-option arguments to be PKCS#12 files.

-7 expect all following non-option arguments to be PKCS#7 files.

-l expect all following non-option arguments to be Revocation

lists.

-t expect all following non-option arguments to be XCA templates.

-d expect the following argument to be the database name to use.

-b expect the following argument to be the basedirectory for the

database(s) OIDs and database logs.

-x Exit after processing all commandline options. Usually after

importing the items in -k -r -c -p -7 -l -t the application will startup as usual. With the -x option given it will exit after finishing the import dialog. This is useful if xca is used as default application for viewing certificates, keys or requests.
