|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
.B xca
|
|
\- X Certificate and key management
|
|
.br
|
|
|
|
A GUI for handling X509 certificates, RSA/DSA/EC keys, PKCS#10 Requests and
|
|
CRLs in Software and on Smartcards.
|
|

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
This application is intended as CA, certificate- and Key store.
|
|
It uses a SQL database to store the items. By default this is SQLite3,
|
|
but MySQL and PostrgreSQL are also tested and supported.
|
|
Known types are Certificate signing requests (PKCS#10), Certificates (X509v3),
|
|
RSA, DSA and EC keys and Certificate revocation lists.
|
|
The signing of requests, and the creation of self-signed 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.
|
|
.br
|
|
XCA enables users to manage smartcards via the PKCS#11 interface
|
|
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
A summary of options are included below.
|
|
There are some deprecated legacy options:
|
|
.RI [ -k ]
|
|
.RI [ -r ]
|
|
.RI [ -c ]
|
|
.RI [ -p ]
|
|
.RI [ -7 ]
|
|
.RI [ -l ]
|
|
.RI [ -t ]
|
|
.RI [ -P ]
|
|
.br
|
|
Before XCA 0.9.0, the type of the items had to be given.
|
|
This was removed since.
|
|
Just put all keys, certs, requests and the database
|
|
unsorted on the commandline.
|
|
For backwards compatibility those options are ignored when found.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-v
|
|
Show version information and exit.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-d <database-name>
|
|
expect the following argument to be a new database to use.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-x
|
|
Exit after processing all commandline options.
|
|
Usually after importing the items from commandline
|
|
the application will startup as usual. With the
|
|
.I -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.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-i <index-file>
|
|
Creates an OpenSSL index file with the file name <index-file>.
|
|
The file will contain information about all certificates in the database.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-I <directory>
|
|
Creates OpenSSL index files with the file name
|
|
<directory>/<ca-internal-name>.txt for each CA with issued certificates.
|
|
Each file will contain information about all issued certificates
|
|
of the CA. The target directory must exist.
|
|
|
