NAME
openssl-nseq - create or examine a Netscape certificate sequence
SYNOPSIS
openssl nseq [-help] [-in filename] [-out filename] [-toseq] [-provider name]
[-provider-path path] [-propquery propq]
DESCRIPTION
This 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.
A Netscape certificate sequence is an old Netscape-specific format that can be sometimes
be sent to browsers as an alternative to the standard PKCS#7 format when several
certificates are sent to the browser, for example during certificate enrollment. It was
also used by Netscape certificate server.
OPTIONS
-help
Print out a usage message.
-in filename
This specifies the input filename to read or standard input if this option is not
specified.
-out filename
Specifies the output filename or standard output by default.
-toseq
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.
-provider name
-provider-path path
-propquery propq
See "Provider Options" in openssl(1), provider(7), and property(7).
EXAMPLES

openssl nseq -in nseq.pem -out certs.pem
Create a Netscape certificate sequence
openssl nseq -in certs.pem -toseq -out nseq.pem
