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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>See the description of the <b>verify</b> utility for more information on the meaning of trust settings.</p> <p>Future versions of OpenSSL will recognize trust settings on any certificate: not just root CAs.</p> <dl> <dt id="trustout"><b>-trustout</b></dt> <dd> <p>This causes <b>x509</b> to output a <b>trusted</b> certificate. An ordinary or trusted certificate can be input but by default an ordinary certificate is output and any trust settings are discarded. With the <b>-trustout</b> option a trusted certificate is output. A trusted certificate is automatically output if any trust settings are modified.</p> </dd> <dt id="setalias-arg"><b>-setalias arg</b></dt> <dd> <p>Sets the alias of the certificate.

Any object name can be used here but currently only <b>clientAuth</b> (SSL client use), <b>serverAuth</b> (SSL server use), <b>emailProtection</b> (S/MIME email) and <b>anyExtendedKeyUsage</b> are used. As of OpenSSL 1.1.0, the last of these blocks all purposes when rejected or enables all purposes when trusted. Other OpenSSL applications may define additional uses.</p> </dd> <dt id="addreject-arg"><b>-addreject arg</b></dt> <dd> <p>Adds a prohibited use. It accepts the same values as the <b>-addtrust</b> option.</p> </dd> <dt id="purpose"><b>-purpose</b></dt> <dd> <p>This option performs tests on the certificate extensions and outputs the results. For a more complete description see the <b>CERTIFICATE EXTENSIONS</b> section.</p> </dd> </dl> <h2 id="Signing-Options">Signing Options</h2> <p>The <b>x509</b> utility can be used to sign certificates and requests: it can thus behave like a "mini CA".</p> <dl> <dt id="signkey-arg"><b>-signkey arg</b></dt> <dd> <p>This option causes the input file to be self signed using the supplied private key or engine. The private key's format is specified with the <b>-keyform</b> option.</p> <p>If the input file is a certificate it sets the issuer name to the subject name (i.e. makes it self signed) changes the public key to the supplied value and changes the start and end dates. The start date is set to the current time and the end date is set to a value determined by the <b>-days</b> option. Any certificate extensions are retained unless the <b>-clrext</b> option is supplied; this includes, for example, any existing key identifier extensions.</p> <p>If the input is a certificate request then a self signed certificate is created using the supplied private key using the subject name in the request.</p> </dd> <dt id="sigopt-nm:v"><b>-sigopt nm:v</b></dt> <dd> <p>Pass options to the signature algorithm during sign or verify operations.

This option is used when a certificate is being created from another certificate (for example with the <b>-signkey</b> or the <b>-CA</b> options). Normally all extensions are retained.</p> </dd> <dt id="keyform-PEM-DER-ENGINE"><b>-keyform PEM|DER|ENGINE</b></dt> <dd> <p>Specifies the format (DER or PEM) of the private key file used in the <b>-signkey</b> option.</p> </dd> <dt id="days-arg"><b>-days arg</b></dt> <dd> <p>Specifies the number of days to make a certificate valid for. The default is 30 days. Cannot be used with the <b>-preserve_dates</b> option.</p> </dd> <dt id="x509toreq"><b>-x509toreq</b></dt> <dd> <p>Converts a certificate into a certificate request. The <b>-signkey</b> option is used to pass the required private key.</p> </dd> <dt id="req"><b>-req</b></dt> <dd> <p>By default a certificate is expected on input. With this option a certificate request is expected instead.</p> </dd> <dt id="set_serial-n"><b>-set_serial n</b></dt> <dd> <p>Specifies the serial number to use. This option can be used with either the <b>-signkey</b> or <b>-CA</b> options. If used in conjunction with the <b>-CA</b> option the serial number file (as specified by the <b>-CAserial</b> or <b>-CAcreateserial</b> options) is not used.</p> <p>The serial number can be decimal or hex (if preceded by <b>0x</b>).</p> </dd> <dt id="CA-filename"><b>-CA filename</b></dt> <dd> <p>Specifies the CA certificate to be used for signing. When this option is present <b>x509</b> behaves like a "mini CA". The input file is signed by this CA using this option: that is its issuer name is set to the subject name of the CA and it is digitally signed using the CAs private key.</p> <p>This option is normally combined with the <b>-req</b> option. Without the <b>-req</b> option the input is a certificate which must be self signed.</p> </dd> <dt id="CAkey-filename"><b>-CAkey filename</b></dt> <dd> <p>Sets the CA private key to sign a certificate with. If this option is not specified then it is assumed that the CA private key is present in the CA certificate file.</p> </dd> <dt id="CAserial-filename"><b>-CAserial filename</b></dt> <dd> <p>Sets the CA serial number file to use.</p> <p>When creating a certificate with this option, and with the <b>-CA</b> 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.</p> <p>The default filename consists of the CA certificate file base name with ".srl" appended. For example if the CA certificate file is called "mycacert.pem" it expects to find a serial number file called "mycacert.srl".</p> <p>If the <b>-CA</b> 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.</p> </dd> <dt id="CAcreateserial"><b>-CAcreateserial</b></dt> <dd> <p>With this option and the <b>-CA</b> 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.</p> </dd> <dt id="extfile-filename"><b>-extfile filename</b></dt> <dd> <p>File containing certificate extensions to use. If not specified then no extensions are added to the certificate.</p> </dd> <dt id="extensions-section"><b>-extensions section</b></dt> <dd> <p>The section to add certificate 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 <a href="../man5/x509v3_config.html">x509v3_config(5)</a> manual page for details of the extension section format.</p> </dd> <dt id="force_pubkey-key"><b>-force_pubkey key</b></dt> <dd> <p>When a certificate is created set its public key to <b>key</b> instead of the key in the certificate or certificate request. This option is useful for creating certificates where the algorithm can't normally sign requests, for example DH.</p> <p>The format or <b>key</b> can be specified using the <b>-keyform</b> option.</p> </dd> </dl> <h2 id="Name-Options">Name Options</h2> <p>The <b>nameopt</b> command line switch determines how the subject and issuer names are displayed. If no <b>nameopt</b> switch is present the default "oneline" format is used which is compatible with previous versions of OpenSSL. Each option is described in detail below, all options can be preceded by a <b>-</b> to turn the option off. Only the first four will normally be used.</p> <dl> <dt id="compat"><b>compat</b></dt> <dd> <p>Use the old format.</p> </dd> <dt id="RFC2253"><b>RFC2253</b></dt> <dd> <p>Displays names compatible with RFC2253 equivalent to <b>esc_2253</b>, <b>esc_ctrl</b>, <b>esc_msb</b>, <b>utf8</b>, <b>dump_nostr</b>, <b>dump_unknown</b>, <b>dump_der</b>, <b>sep_comma_plus</b>, <b>dn_rev</b> and <b>sname</b>.</p> </dd> <dt id="oneline"><b>oneline</b></dt> <dd> <p>A oneline format which is more readable than RFC2253.

That is the <b>NUL</b> character as well as and <b>()*</b>.</p> </dd> <dt id="esc_ctrl"><b>esc_ctrl</b></dt> <dd> <p>Escape control characters. That is those with ASCII values less than 0x20 (space) and the delete (0x7f) character. They are escaped using the RFC2253 \XX notation (where XX are two hex digits representing the character value).</p> </dd> <dt id="esc_msb"><b>esc_msb</b></dt> <dd> <p>Escape characters with the MSB set, that is with ASCII values larger than 127.</p> </dd> <dt id="use_quote"><b>use_quote</b></dt> <dd> <p>Escapes some characters by surrounding the whole string with <b>"</b> characters, without the option all escaping is done with the <b>\</b> character.</p> </dd> <dt id="utf8"><b>utf8</b></dt> <dd> <p>Convert all strings to UTF8 format first. This is required by RFC2253. If you are lucky enough to have a UTF8 compatible terminal then the use of this option (and <b>not</b> setting <b>esc_msb</b>) may result in the correct display of multibyte (international) characters. Is this option is not present then multibyte characters larger than 0xff will be represented using the format \UXXXX for 16 bits and \WXXXXXXXX for 32 bits. Also if this option is off any UTF8Strings will be converted to their character form first.</p> </dd> <dt id="ignore_type"><b>ignore_type</b></dt> <dd> <p>This option does not attempt to interpret multibyte characters in any way. That is their content octets are merely dumped as though one octet represents each character. This is useful for diagnostic purposes but will result in rather odd looking output.</p> </dd> <dt id="show_type"><b>show_type</b></dt> <dd> <p>Show the type of the ASN1 character string. The type precedes the field contents. For example "BMPSTRING: Hello World".</p> </dd> <dt id="dump_der"><b>dump_der</b></dt> <dd> <p>When this option is set any fields that need to be hexdumped will be dumped using the DER encoding of the field.

The first character is between RDNs and the second between multiple AVAs (multiple AVAs are very rare and their use is discouraged). The options ending in "space" additionally place a space after the separator to make it more readable. The <b>sep_multiline</b> uses a linefeed character for the RDN separator and a spaced <b>+</b> for the AVA separator. It also indents the fields by four characters. If no field separator is specified then <b>sep_comma_plus_space</b> is used by default.</p> </dd> <dt id="dn_rev"><b>dn_rev</b></dt> <dd> <p>Reverse the fields of the DN. This is required by RFC2253.

So although this is incorrect it is more likely to display the majority of certificates correctly.</p> <p>The <b>-email</b> 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.</p> <h1 id="CERTIFICATE-EXTENSIONS">CERTIFICATE EXTENSIONS</h1> <p>The <b>-purpose</b> option checks the certificate extensions and determines what the certificate can be used for. The actual checks done are rather complex and include various hacks and workarounds to handle broken certificates and software.</p> <p>The same code is used when verifying untrusted certificates in chains so this section is useful if a chain is rejected by the verify code.</p> <p>The basicConstraints extension CA flag is used to determine whether the certificate can be used as a CA. If the CA flag is true then it is a CA, if the CA flag is false then it is not a CA. <b>All</b> CAs should have the CA flag set to true.</p> <p>If the basicConstraints extension is absent then the certificate is considered to be a "possible CA" other extensions are checked according to the intended use of the certificate. A warning is given in this case because the certificate should really not be regarded as a CA: however it is allowed to be a CA to work around some broken software.</p> <p>If the certificate is a V1 certificate (and thus has no extensions) and it is self signed it is also assumed to be a CA but a warning is again given: this is to work around the problem of Verisign roots which are V1 self signed certificates.</p> <p>If the keyUsage extension is present then additional restraints are made on the uses of the certificate. A CA certificate <b>must</b> have the keyCertSign bit set if the keyUsage extension is present.</p> <p>The extended key usage extension places additional restrictions on the certificate uses. If this extension is present (whether critical or not) the key can only be used for the purposes specified.</p> <p>A complete description of each test is given below.
