Please contribute to the initial review in + Mozilla NSS bug 836477[1] + + Description + + | The Certificate Revocation List (CRL) Management Tool, crlutil, is a + | command-line utility that can list, generate, modify, or delete CRLs + | within the NSS security database file(s) and list, create, modify or + | delete certificates entries in a particular CRL. + + | The key and certificate management process generally begins with creating + | keys in the key database, then generating and managing certificates in the + | certificate database(see certutil tool) and continues with certificates + | expiration or revocation. + + | This document discusses certificate revocation list management. For + | information on security module database management, see Using the Security + | Module Database Tool. For information on certificate and key database + | management, see Using the Certificate Database Tool. + + To run the Certificate Revocation List Management Tool, type the command + + crlutil option [arguments] + + | where options and arguments are combinations of the options and arguments + | listed in the following section. Each command takes one option. Each + | option may take zero or more arguments. To see a usage string, issue the + | command without options, or with the -H option. + + Options and Arguments + + Options + + | Options specify an action. Option arguments modify an action. The options + | and arguments for the crlutil command are defined as follows: + + -G + + Create new Certificate Revocation List(CRL).- + + -D + + Delete Certificate Revocation List from cert database. + + -I + + Import a CRL to the cert database + + -E + + Erase all CRLs of specified type from the cert database + + -L + + List existing CRL located in cert database file. + + -M + + | Modify existing CRL which can be located in cert db or in + | arbitrary file. If located in file it should be encoded in ASN.1 + | encode format. + + -G + + Arguments + + Option arguments modify an action and are lowercase. + + -B + + Bypass CA signature checks. + + -P dbprefix + + | Specify the prefix used on the NSS security database files (for + | example, my_cert8.db and my_key3.db). This option is provided as a + | special case. Changing the names of the certificate and key + | databases is not recommended. + + -a + + | Use ASCII format or allow the use of ASCII format for input and + | output. This formatting follows RFC #1113. + + -c crl-gen-file + + | Specify script file that will be used to control crl + | generation/modification. See crl-cript-file format below. If + | options -M|-G is used and -c crl-script-file is not specified, + | crlutil will read script data from standard input. + + -d directory + + | Specify the database directory containing the certificate and key + | database files. On Unix the Certificate Database Tool defaults to + | $HOME/.netscape (that is, ~/.netscape). On Windows NT the default + | is the current directory. + + The NSS database files must reside in the same directory. + + -i crl-import-file + + Specify the file which contains the CRL to import + + -f password-file + + | Specify a file that will automatically supply the password to + | include in a certificate or to access a certificate database. This + | is a plain-text file containing one password. Be sure to prevent + | unauthorized access to this file. + + -l algorithm-name + + | Specify a specific signature algorithm. List of possible + | algorithms: MD2 \| MD4 \| MD5 \| SHA1 \| SHA256 \| SHA384 \| SHA512 + + -n nickname + + | Specify the nickname of a certificate or key to list, create, add + | to a database, modify, or validate. Bracket the nickname string + | with quotation marks if it contains spaces. + + -o output-file + + | Specify the output file name for new CRL. Bracket the output-file + | string with quotation marks if it contains spaces. If this + | argument is not used the output destination defaults to standard + | output. + + -t crl-type + + | Specify type of CRL. possible types are: 0 - SEC_KRL_TYPE, 1 - + | SEC_CRL_TYPE. This option is obsolete + + -u url + + Specify the url. + + CRL Generation script syntax + + CRL generation script file has the following syntax: + + \* Line with comments should have # as a first symbol of a line + + \* Set "this update" or "next update" CRL fields: + + update=YYYYMMDDhhmmssZ nextupdate=YYYYMMDDhhmmssZ + + | Field "next update" is optional. Time should be in GeneralizedTime format + | (YYYYMMDDhhmmssZ). For example: 20050204153000Z + + \* Add an extension to a CRL or a crl certificate entry: + + addext extension-name critical/non-critical [arg1[arg2 ...]] + + Where: + + | extension-name: string value of a name of known extensions. + | critical/non-critical: is 1 when extension is critical and 0 otherwise. + | arg1, arg2: specific to extension type extension parameters + + | addext uses the range that was set earlier by addcert and will install an + | extension to every cert entries within the range. + + \* Add certificate entries(s) to CRL: + + addcert range date + + | range: two integer values separated by dash: range of certificates that + | will be added by this command. dash is used as a delimiter. Only one cert + | will be added if there is no delimiter. date: revocation date of a cert. + | Date should be represented in GeneralizedTime format (YYYYMMDDhhmmssZ). + + \* Remove certificate entry(s) from CRL + + rmcert range + + Where: + + | range: two integer values separated by dash: range of certificates that + | will be added by this command. dash is used as a delimiter. Only one cert + | will be added if there is no delimiter. + + \* Change range of certificate entry(s) in CRL + + range new-range + + Where: + + | new-range: two integer values separated by dash: range of certificates + | that will be added by this command. dash is used as a delimiter. Only one + | cert will be added if there is no delimiter. + + Implemented Extensions + + | The extensions defined for CRL provide methods for associating additional + | attributes with CRLs of theirs entries. For more information see RFC #3280 + + \* Add The Authority Key Identifier extension: + + | The authority key identifier extension provides a means of identifying the + | public key corresponding to the private key used to sign a CRL. + + authKeyId critical [key-id \| dn cert-serial] + + Where: + + | authKeyIdent: identifies the name of an extension critical: value of 1 of + | 0. Should be set to 1 if this extension is critical or 0 otherwise. + | key-id: key identifier represented in octet string. dn:: is a CA + | distinguished name cert-serial: authority certificate serial number. + + \* Add Issuer Alternative Name extension: + + | The issuer alternative names extension allows additional identities to be + | associated with the issuer of the CRL. Defined options include an rfc822 + | name (electronic mail address), a DNS name, an IP address, and a URI. + + issuerAltNames non-critical name-list + + Where: + + | subjAltNames: identifies the name of an extension should be set to 0 since + | this is non-critical extension name-list: comma separated list of names + + \* Add CRL Number extension: + + | The CRL number is a non-critical CRL extension which conveys a + | monotonically increasing sequence number for a given CRL scope and CRL + | issuer. This extension allows users to easily determine when a particular + | CRL supersedes another CRL + + crlNumber non-critical number + + Where: + + | crlNumber: identifies the name of an extension critical: should be set to + | 0 since this is non-critical extension number: value of long which + | identifies the sequential number of a CRL. + + \* Add Revocation Reason Code extension: + + | The reasonCode is a non-critical CRL entry extension that identifies the + | reason for the certificate revocation. + + reasonCode non-critical code + + Where: + + | reasonCode: identifies the name of an extension non-critical: should be + | set to 0 since this is non-critical extension code: the following codes + | are available: + + | unspecified (0), keyCompromise (1), cACompromise (2), affiliationChanged + | (3), superseded (4), cessationOfOperation (5), certificateHold (6), + | removeFromCRL (8), privilegeWithdrawn (9), aACompromise (10) + + \* Add Invalidity Date extension: + + | The invalidity date is a non-critical CRL entry extension that provides + | the date on which it is known or suspected that the private key was + | compromised or that the certificate otherwise became invalid. + + invalidityDate non-critical date + + Where: + + | crlNumber: identifies the name of an extension non-critical: should be set + | to 0 since this is non-critical extension date: invalidity date of a cert. + | Date should be represented in GeneralizedTime format (YYYYMMDDhhmmssZ). + + Usage + + | The Certificate Revocation List Management Tool's capabilities are grouped + | as follows, using these combinations of options and arguments.
