Synopsis

ndnsec-cert-gen [-h] [-S timestamp] [-E timestamp] [-I info]… [-s signer] [-i issuer] file

Description

ndnsec-cert-gen takes a signing request as input and issues an identity certificate for the key in the signing request. The signing request can be created with ndnsec-key-gen and can be re-generated with ndnsec-sign-req.

By default, the default key is used to sign the issued certificate.

file is the name of a file that contains the signing request. If file is “-“, the signing request is read from the standard input.

The generated certificate is written to the standard output in base64 encoding.

Options

-S <timestamp>, --not-before <timestamp>

Date and time when the certificate becomes valid, in “YYYYMMDDhhmmss” format. The default value is now.

-E <timestamp>, --not-after <timestamp>

Date and time when the certificate expires, in “YYYYMMDDhhmmss” format. The default value is 365 days after the –not-before timestamp.

-I <info>, --info <info>

Other information to be included in the issued certificate. For example:

-I "affiliation Some Organization" -I "homepage http://home.page/"

-s <signer>, --sign-id <signer>

Signing identity. The default key/certificate of signer will be used to sign the requested certificate. If this option is not specified, the system default identity will be used.

-i <issuer>, --issuer-id <issuer>

Issuer’s ID to be included in the issued certificate name. The default value is “NA”.
