+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+This command is a multi-purposes certificate handling command.
+It can be used to print certificate information,
+convert certificates to various forms, edit certificate trust settings,
+generate certificates from scratch or from certificating requests
+and then self-signing them or signing them like a "micro CA".
+.PP
+Since there are a large number of options they will split up into
+various sections.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.IX Header "OPTIONS"
+.SS "Input, Output, and General Purpose Options"
+.IX Subsection "Input, Output, and General Purpose Options"
+.IP \fB\-help\fR 4
+.IX Item "-help"
+Print out a usage message.
+.IP "\fB\-in\fR \fIfilename\fR|\fIuri\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-in filename|uri"
+This specifies the input to read a certificate from
+or the input file for reading a certificate request if the \fB\-req\fR flag is used.
+In both cases this defaults to standard input.
+.Sp
+This option cannot be combined with the \fB\-new\fR flag.
+.IP "\fB\-passin\fR \fIarg\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-passin arg"
+The key and certificate file password source.
+For more information about the format of \fIarg\fR
+see \fBopenssl\-passphrase\-options\fR\|(1).
+.IP \fB\-new\fR 4
+.IX Item "-new"
+Generate a certificate from scratch, not using an input certificate
+or certificate request. So the \fB\-in\fR option must not be used in this case.
+Instead, the \fB\-subj\fR option needs to be given.
+The public key to include can be given with the \fB\-force_pubkey\fR option
+and defaults to the key given with the \fB\-key\fR (or \fB\-signkey\fR) option,
+which implies self-signature.
+.IP \fB\-x509toreq\fR 4
+.IX Item "-x509toreq"
+Output a PKCS#10 certificate request (rather than a certificate).
+The \fB\-key\fR (or \fB\-signkey\fR) option must be used to provide the private key for
+self-signing; the corresponding public key is placed in the subjectPKInfo field.
+.Sp
+X.509 extensions included in a certificate input are not copied by default.
+X.509 extensions to be added can be specified using the \fB\-extfile\fR option.
+.IP \fB\-req\fR 4
+.IX Item "-req"
+By default a certificate is expected on input.
+With this option a PKCS#10 certificate request is expected instead,
+which must be correctly self-signed.
+.Sp
+X.509 extensions included in the request are not copied by default.
+X.509 extensions to be added can be specified using the \fB\-extfile\fR option.
+.IP "\fB\-copy_extensions\fR \fIarg\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-copy_extensions arg"
+Determines how to handle X.509 extensions
+when converting from a certificate to a request using the \fB\-x509toreq\fR option
+or converting from a request to a certificate using the \fB\-req\fR option.
+If \fIarg\fR is \fBnone\fR or this option is not present then extensions are ignored.
+If \fIarg\fR is \fBcopy\fR or \fBcopyall\fR then all extensions are copied,
+except that subject identifier and authority key identifier extensions
+are not taken over when producing a certificate request.
+.Sp
+The \fB\-ext\fR option can be used to further restrict which extensions to copy.
+.IP "\fB\-inform\fR \fBDER\fR|\fBPEM\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-inform DER|PEM"
+The input file format; unspecified by default.
+See \fBopenssl\-format\-options\fR\|(1) for details.
+.IP "\fB\-vfyopt\fR \fInm\fR:\fIv\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-vfyopt nm:v"
+Pass options to the signature algorithm during verify operations.
+Names and values of these options are algorithm-specific.
+.IP "\fB\-key\fR \fIfilename\fR|\fIuri\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-key filename|uri"
+This option provides the private key for signing a new certificate or
+certificate request.
+Unless \fB\-force_pubkey\fR is given, the corresponding public key is placed in
+the new certificate or certificate request, resulting in a self-signature.
+.Sp
+This option cannot be used in conjunction with the \fB\-CA\fR option.
+.Sp
+It sets the issuer name to the subject name (i.e., makes it self-issued)
+and changes the public key to the supplied value (unless overridden
+by \fB\-force_pubkey\fR).
+Unless the \fB\-preserve_dates\fR option is supplied,
+it sets the validity start date to the current time
+and the end date to a value determined by the \fB\-days\fR option.
+.IP "\fB\-signkey\fR \fIfilename\fR|\fIuri\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-signkey filename|uri"
+This option is an alias of \fB\-key\fR.
+.IP "\fB\-keyform\fR \fBDER\fR|\fBPEM\fR|\fBP12\fR|\fBENGINE\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-keyform DER|PEM|P12|ENGINE"
+The key input format; unspecified by default.
+See \fBopenssl\-format\-options\fR\|(1) for details.
+.IP "\fB\-out\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-out filename"
+This specifies the output filename to write to or standard output by default.
+.IP "\fB\-outform\fR \fBDER\fR|\fBPEM\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-outform DER|PEM"
+The output format; the default is \fBPEM\fR.
+See \fBopenssl\-format\-options\fR\|(1) for details.
+.IP \fB\-nocert\fR 4
+.IX Item "-nocert"
+Do not output a certificate (except for printing as requested by below options).
+.IP \fB\-noout\fR 4
+.IX Item "-noout"
+This option prevents output except for printing as requested by below options.
+.SS "Certificate Printing Options"
+.IX Subsection "Certificate Printing Options"
+Note: the \fB\-alias\fR and \fB\-purpose\fR options are also printing options
+but are described in the "Trust Settings" section.
+.IP \fB\-dateopt\fR 4
+.IX Item "-dateopt"
+Specify the date output format. Values are: rfc_822 and iso_8601.
+Defaults to rfc_822.
+.IP \fB\-text\fR 4
+.IX Item "-text"
+Prints out the certificate in text form. Full details are printed including the
+public key, signature algorithms, issuer and subject names, serial number
+any extensions present and any trust settings.
+.IP "\fB\-certopt\fR \fIoption\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-certopt option"
+Customise the print format used with \fB\-text\fR. The \fIoption\fR argument
+can be a single option or multiple options separated by commas.
+The \fB\-certopt\fR switch may be also be used more than once to set multiple
+options. See the "Text Printing Flags" section for more information.
+.IP \fB\-fingerprint\fR 4
+.IX Item "-fingerprint"
+Calculates and prints the digest of the DER encoded version of the entire
+certificate (see digest options).
+This is commonly called a "fingerprint". Because of the nature of message
+digests, the fingerprint of a certificate is unique to that certificate and
+two certificates with the same fingerprint can be considered to be the same.
+.IP \fB\-alias\fR 4
+.IX Item "-alias"
+Prints the certificate "alias" (nickname), if any.
+.IP \fB\-serial\fR 4
+.IX Item "-serial"
+Prints the certificate serial number.
+.IP \fB\-startdate\fR 4
+.IX Item "-startdate"
+Prints out the start date of the certificate, that is the notBefore date.
+.IP \fB\-enddate\fR 4
+.IX Item "-enddate"
+Prints out the expiry date of the certificate, that is the notAfter date.
+.IP \fB\-dates\fR 4
+.IX Item "-dates"
+Prints out the start and expiry dates of a certificate.
+.IP \fB\-subject\fR 4
+.IX Item "-subject"
+Prints the subject name.
+.IP \fB\-issuer\fR 4
+.IX Item "-issuer"
+Prints the issuer name.
+.IP "\fB\-nameopt\fR \fIoption\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-nameopt option"
+This specifies how the subject or issuer names are displayed.
+See \fBopenssl\-namedisplay\-options\fR\|(1) for details.
+.IP \fB\-email\fR 4
+.IX Item "-email"
+Prints the email address(es) if any.
+.IP \fB\-hash\fR 4
+.IX Item "-hash"
+Synonym for "\-subject_hash" for backward compatibility reasons.
+.IP \fB\-subject_hash\fR 4
+.IX Item "-subject_hash"
+Prints the "hash" of the certificate subject name. This is used in OpenSSL to
+form an index to allow certificates in a directory to be looked up by subject
+name.
+.IP \fB\-subject_hash_old\fR 4
+.IX Item "-subject_hash_old"
+Prints the "hash" of the certificate subject name using the older algorithm
+as used by OpenSSL before version 1.0.0.
+.IP \fB\-issuer_hash\fR 4
+.IX Item "-issuer_hash"
+Prints the "hash" of the certificate issuer name.
+.IP \fB\-issuer_hash_old\fR 4
+.IX Item "-issuer_hash_old"
+Prints the "hash" of the certificate issuer name using the older algorithm
+as used by OpenSSL before version 1.0.0.
+.IP "\fB\-ext\fR \fIextensions\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-ext extensions"
+Prints out the certificate extensions in text form.
+Can also be used to restrict which extensions to copy.
+Extensions are specified
+with a comma separated string, e.g., "subjectAltName,subjectKeyIdentifier".
+See the \fBx509v3_config\fR\|(5) manual page for the extension names.
+.IP \fB\-ocspid\fR 4
+.IX Item "-ocspid"
+Prints the OCSP hash values for the subject name and public key.
+.IP \fB\-ocsp_uri\fR 4
+.IX Item "-ocsp_uri"
+Prints the OCSP responder address(es) if any.
+.IP \fB\-purpose\fR 4
+.IX Item "-purpose"
+This option performs tests on the certificate extensions and outputs
+the results. For a more complete description see
+"Certificate Extensions" in \fBopenssl\-verification\-options\fR\|(1).
+.IP \fB\-pubkey\fR 4
+.IX Item "-pubkey"
+Prints the certificate's SubjectPublicKeyInfo block in PEM format.
+.IP \fB\-modulus\fR 4
+.IX Item "-modulus"
+This option prints out the value of the modulus of the public key
+contained in the certificate.
+.SS "Certificate Checking Options"
+.IX Subsection "Certificate Checking Options"
+.IP "\fB\-checkend\fR \fIarg\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-checkend arg"
+Checks if the certificate expires within the next \fIarg\fR seconds and exits
+nonzero if yes it will expire or zero if not.
+.IP "\fB\-checkhost\fR \fIhost\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-checkhost host"
+Check that the certificate matches the specified host.
+.IP "\fB\-checkemail\fR \fIemail\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-checkemail email"
+Check that the certificate matches the specified email address.
+.IP "\fB\-checkip\fR \fIipaddr\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-checkip ipaddr"
+Check that the certificate matches the specified IP address.
+.SS "Certificate Output Options"
+.IX Subsection "Certificate Output Options"
+.IP "\fB\-set_serial\fR \fIn\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-set_serial n"
+Specifies the serial number to use.
+This option can be used with the \fB\-key\fR, \fB\-signkey\fR, or \fB\-CA\fR options.
+If used in conjunction with the \fB\-CA\fR option
+the serial number file (as specified by the \fB\-CAserial\fR option) is not used.
+.Sp
+The serial number can be decimal or hex (if preceded by \f(CW\*(C`0x\*(C'\fR).
+.IP \fB\-next_serial\fR 4
+.IX Item "-next_serial"
+Set the serial to be one more than the number in the certificate.
+.IP "\fB\-days\fR \fIarg\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-days arg"
+Specifies the number of days until a newly generated certificate expires.
+The default is 30.
+Cannot be used together with the \fB\-preserve_dates\fR option.
+.IP \fB\-preserve_dates\fR 4
+.IX Item "-preserve_dates"
+When signing a certificate, preserve "notBefore" and "notAfter" dates of any
+input certificate instead of adjusting them to current time and duration.
+Cannot be used together with the \fB\-days\fR option.
+.IP "\fB\-subj\fR \fIarg\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-subj arg"
+When a certificate is created set its subject name to the given value.
+When the certificate is self-signed the issuer name is set to the same value.
+.Sp
+The arg must be formatted as \f(CW\*(C`/type0=value0/type1=value1/type2=...\*(C'\fR.
+Special characters may be escaped by \f(CW\*(C`\e\*(C'\fR (backslash), whitespace is retained.
+Empty values are permitted, but the corresponding type will not be included
+in the certificate.
+Giving a single \f(CW\*(C`/\*(C'\fR will lead to an empty sequence of RDNs (a NULL-DN).
+Multi-valued RDNs can be formed by placing a \f(CW\*(C`+\*(C'\fR character instead of a \f(CW\*(C`/\*(C'\fR
+between the AttributeValueAssertions (AVAs) that specify the members of the set.
+Example:
+.Sp
+\&\f(CW\*(C`/DC=org/DC=OpenSSL/DC=users/UID=123456+CN=John Doe\*(C'\fR
+.Sp
+This option can be used in conjunction with the \fB\-force_pubkey\fR option
+to create a certificate even without providing an input certificate
+or certificate request.
+.IP "\fB\-force_pubkey\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-force_pubkey filename"
+When a certificate is created set its public key to the key in \fIfilename\fR
+instead of the key contained in the input
+or given with the \fB\-key\fR (or \fB\-signkey\fR) option.
+.Sp
+This option is useful for creating self-issued certificates that are not
+self-signed, for instance when the key cannot be used for signing, such as DH.
+It can also be used in conjunction with \fB\-new\fR and \fB\-subj\fR to directly
+generate a certificate containing any desired public key.
+.IP \fB\-clrext\fR 4
+.IX Item "-clrext"
+When transforming a certificate to a new certificate
+by default all certificate extensions are retained.
+.Sp
+When transforming a certificate or certificate request,
+the \fB\-clrext\fR option prevents taking over any extensions from the source.
+In any case, when producing a certificate request,
+neither subject identifier nor authority key identifier extensions are included.
+.IP "\fB\-extfile\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-extfile filename"
+Configuration file containing certificate and request X.509 extensions to add.
+.IP "\fB\-extensions\fR \fIsection\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-extensions section"
+The section in the extfile to add X.509 extensions from.
+If this option is not
+specified then the extensions should either be contained in the unnamed
+(default) section or the default section should contain a variable called
+"extensions" which contains the section to use.
+See the \fBx509v3_config\fR\|(5) manual page for details of the
+extension section format.
+.IP "\fB\-sigopt\fR \fInm\fR:\fIv\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-sigopt nm:v"
+Pass options to the signature algorithm during sign operations.
+This option may be given multiple times.
+Names and values provided using this option are algorithm-specific.
+.IP \fB\-badsig\fR 4
+.IX Item "-badsig"
+Corrupt the signature before writing it; this can be useful
+for testing.
+.IP \fB\-\fR\f(BIdigest\fR 4
+.IX Item "-digest"
+The digest to use.
+This affects any signing or printing option that uses a message
+digest, such as the \fB\-fingerprint\fR, \fB\-key\fR, and \fB\-CA\fR options.
+Any digest supported by the \fBopenssl\-dgst\fR\|(1) command can be used.
+If not specified then SHA1 is used with \fB\-fingerprint\fR or
+the default digest for the signing algorithm is used, typically SHA256.
+.SS "Micro-CA Options"
+.IX Subsection "Micro-CA Options"
+.IP "\fB\-CA\fR \fIfilename\fR|\fIuri\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-CA filename|uri"
+Specifies the "CA" certificate to be used for signing.
+When present, this behaves like a "micro CA" as follows:
+The subject name of the "CA" certificate is placed as issuer name in the new
+certificate, which is then signed using the "CA" key given as detailed below.
+.Sp
+This option cannot be used in conjunction with \fB\-key\fR (or \fB\-signkey\fR).
+This option is normally combined with the \fB\-req\fR option referencing a CSR.
+Without the \fB\-req\fR option the input must be an existing certificate
+unless the \fB\-new\fR option is given, which generates a certificate from scratch.
+.IP "\fB\-CAform\fR \fBDER\fR|\fBPEM\fR|\fBP12\fR," 4
+.IX Item "-CAform DER|PEM|P12,"
+The format for the CA certificate; unspecified by default.
+See \fBopenssl\-format\-options\fR\|(1) for details.
+.IP "\fB\-CAkey\fR \fIfilename\fR|\fIuri\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-CAkey filename|uri"
+Sets the CA private key to sign a certificate with.
+The private key must match the public key of the certificate given with \fB\-CA\fR.
+If this option is not provided then the key must be present in the \fB\-CA\fR input.
+.IP "\fB\-CAkeyform\fR \fBDER\fR|\fBPEM\fR|\fBP12\fR|\fBENGINE\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-CAkeyform DER|PEM|P12|ENGINE"
+The format for the CA key; unspecified by default.
+See \fBopenssl\-format\-options\fR\|(1) for details.
+.IP "\fB\-CAserial\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-CAserial filename"
+Sets the CA serial number file to use.
+.Sp
+When creating a certificate with this option and with the \fB\-CA\fR option,
+the certificate serial number is stored in the given file.
+This file consists of one line containing
+an even number of hex digits with the serial number used last time.
+After reading this number, it is incremented and used, and the file is updated.
+.Sp
+The default filename consists of the CA certificate file base name with
+\&\fI.srl\fR appended. For example if the CA certificate file is called
+\&\fImycacert.pem\fR it expects to find a serial number file called
+\&\fImycacert.srl\fR.
+.Sp
+If the \fB\-CA\fR option is specified and neither <\-CAserial> or <\-CAcreateserial>
+is given and the default serial number file does not exist,
+a random number is generated; this is the recommended practice.
+.IP \fB\-CAcreateserial\fR 4
+.IX Item "-CAcreateserial"
+With this option and the \fB\-CA\fR option
+the CA serial number file is created if it does not exist.
+A random number is generated, used for the certificate,
+and saved into the serial number file determined as described above.
+.SS "Trust Settings"
+.IX Subsection "Trust Settings"
+A \fBtrusted certificate\fR is an ordinary certificate which has several
+additional pieces of information attached to it such as the permitted
+and prohibited uses of the certificate and possibly an "alias" (nickname).
+.PP
+Normally when a certificate is being verified at least one certificate
+must be "trusted". By default a trusted certificate must be stored
+locally and must be a root CA: any certificate chain ending in this CA
+is then usable for any purpose.
+.PP
+Trust settings currently are only used with a root CA.
+They allow a finer control over the purposes the root CA can be used for.
+For example, a CA may be trusted for SSL client but not SSL server use.
+.PP
+See \fBopenssl\-verification\-options\fR\|(1) for more information
+on the meaning of trust settings.
+.PP
+Future versions of OpenSSL will recognize trust settings on any
+certificate: not just root CAs.
+.IP \fB\-trustout\fR 4
+.IX Item "-trustout"
+Mark any certificate PEM output as <trusted> certificate rather than ordinary.
+An ordinary or trusted certificate can be input but by default an ordinary
+certificate is output and any trust settings are discarded.

+.SH NOTES
+.IX Header "NOTES"
+The conversion to UTF8 format used with the name options assumes that
+T61Strings use the ISO8859\-1 character set. This is wrong but Netscape
+and MSIE do this as do many certificates. So although this is incorrect
+it is more likely to print the majority of certificates correctly.
+.PP
+The \fB\-email\fR option searches the subject name and the subject alternative
+name extension. Only unique email addresses will be printed out: it will
+not print the same address more than once.
+.SH BUGS
+.IX Header "BUGS"
+It is possible to produce invalid certificates or requests by specifying the
+wrong private key, using unsuitable X.509 extensions,
+or using inconsistent options in some cases: these should be checked.
+.PP
+There should be options to explicitly set such things as start and end
+dates rather than an offset from the current time.

+.SH HISTORY
+.IX Header "HISTORY"
+The hash algorithm used in the \fB\-subject_hash\fR and \fB\-issuer_hash\fR options
+before OpenSSL 1.0.0 was based on the deprecated MD5 algorithm and the encoding
+of the distinguished name. In OpenSSL 1.0.0 and later it is based on a canonical
+version of the DN using SHA1. This means that any directories using the old
+form must have their links rebuilt using \fBopenssl\-rehash\fR\|(1) or similar.
+.PP
+The \fB\-signkey\fR option has been renamed to \fB\-key\fR in OpenSSL 3.0,
+keeping the old name as an alias.
+.PP
+The \fB\-engine\fR option was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
+.PP
+The \fB\-C\fR option was removed in OpenSSL 3.0.
