|  | =head1 DESCRIPTION | 
|  |  | 
|  | The B<pkcs12> command allows PKCS#12 files (sometimes referred to as | 
|  | PFX files) to be created and parsed. PKCS#12 files are used by several | 
|  | programs including Netscape, MSIE and MS Outlook. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =head1 OPTIONS | 
|  |  | 
|  | There are a lot of options the meaning of some depends of whether a PKCS#12 file | 
|  | is being created or parsed. By default a PKCS#12 file is parsed. A PKCS#12 | 
|  | file can be created by using the B<-export> option (see below). | 
|  |  | 
|  | =head1 PARSING OPTIONS | 
|  |  | 
|  | =over 4 | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-help> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Print out a usage message. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-in filename> | 
|  |  | 
|  | This specifies filename of the PKCS#12 file to be parsed. Standard input is used | 
|  | by default. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-out filename> | 
|  |  | 
|  | The filename to write certificates and private keys to, standard output by | 
|  | default.  They are all written in PEM format. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-passin arg> | 
|  |  | 
|  | The PKCS#12 file (i.e. input file) password source. For more information about | 
|  | the format of B<arg> see L<openssl(1)/Pass Phrase Options>. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-passout arg> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Pass phrase source to encrypt any outputted private keys with. For more | 
|  | information about the format of B<arg> see L<openssl(1)/Pass Phrase Options>. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-password arg> | 
|  |  | 
|  | With -export, -password is equivalent to -passout. | 
|  | Otherwise, -password is equivalent to -passin. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-noout> | 
|  |  | 
|  | This option inhibits output of the keys and certificates to the output file | 
|  | version of the PKCS#12 file. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-clcerts> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Only output client certificates (not CA certificates). | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-cacerts> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Only output CA certificates (not client certificates). | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-nocerts> | 
|  |  | 
|  | No certificates at all will be output. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-nokeys> | 
|  |  | 
|  | No private keys will be output. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-info> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Output additional information about the PKCS#12 file structure, algorithms | 
|  | used and iteration counts. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-des> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Use DES to encrypt private keys before outputting. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-des3> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Use triple DES to encrypt private keys before outputting, this is the default. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-idea> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Use IDEA to encrypt private keys before outputting. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-aes128>, B<-aes192>, B<-aes256> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Use AES to encrypt private keys before outputting. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-aria128>, B<-aria192>, B<-aria256> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Use ARIA to encrypt private keys before outputting. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-camellia128>, B<-camellia192>, B<-camellia256> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Use Camellia to encrypt private keys before outputting. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-nodes> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Don't encrypt the private keys at all. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-nomacver> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Don't attempt to verify the integrity MAC before reading the file. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-twopass> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Prompt for separate integrity and encryption passwords: most software | 
|  | always assumes these are the same so this option will render such | 
|  | PKCS#12 files unreadable. Cannot be used in combination with the options | 
|  | -password, -passin (if importing) or -passout (if exporting). | 
|  |  | 
|  | =back | 
|  |  | 
|  | =head1 FILE CREATION OPTIONS | 
|  |  | 
|  | =over 4 | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-export> | 
|  |  | 
|  | This option specifies that a PKCS#12 file will be created rather than | 
|  | parsed. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-out filename> | 
|  |  | 
|  | This specifies filename to write the PKCS#12 file to. Standard output is used | 
|  | by default. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-in filename> | 
|  |  | 
|  | The filename to read certificates and private keys from, standard input by | 
|  | default.  They must all be in PEM format. The order doesn't matter but one | 
|  | private key and its corresponding certificate should be present. If additional | 
|  | certificates are present they will also be included in the PKCS#12 file. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-inkey file_or_id> | 
|  |  | 
|  | File to read private key from. If not present then a private key must be present | 
|  | in the input file. | 
|  | If no engine is used, the argument is taken as a file; if an engine is | 
|  | specified, the argument is given to the engine as a key identifier. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-name friendlyname> | 
|  |  | 
|  | This specifies the "friendly name" for the certificate and private key. This | 
|  | name is typically displayed in list boxes by software importing the file. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-certfile filename> | 
|  |  | 
|  | A filename to read additional certificates from. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-caname friendlyname> | 
|  |  | 
|  | This specifies the "friendly name" for other certificates. This option may be | 
|  | used multiple times to specify names for all certificates in the order they | 
|  | appear. Netscape ignores friendly names on other certificates whereas MSIE | 
|  | displays them. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-pass arg>, B<-passout arg> | 
|  |  | 
|  | The PKCS#12 file (i.e. output file) password source. For more information about | 
|  | the format of B<arg> see L<openssl(1)/Pass Phrase Options>. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-passin password> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Pass phrase source to decrypt any input private keys with. For more information | 
|  | about the format of B<arg> see L<openssl(1)/Pass Phrase Options>. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-chain> | 
|  |  | 
|  | If this option is present then an attempt is made to include the entire | 
|  | certificate chain of the user certificate. The standard CA store is used | 
|  | for this search. If the search fails it is considered a fatal error. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-descert> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Encrypt the certificate using triple DES, this may render the PKCS#12 | 
|  | file unreadable by some "export grade" software. By default the private | 
|  | key is encrypted using triple DES and the certificate using 40 bit RC2 | 
|  | unless RC2 is disabled in which case triple DES is used. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-keypbe alg>, B<-certpbe alg> | 
|  |  | 
|  | These options allow the algorithm used to encrypt the private key and | 
|  | certificates to be selected. Any PKCS#5 v1.5 or PKCS#12 PBE algorithm name | 
|  | can be used (see B<NOTES> section for more information). If a cipher name | 
|  | (as output by the B<list-cipher-algorithms> command is specified then it | 
|  | is used with PKCS#5 v2.0. For interoperability reasons it is advisable to only | 
|  | use PKCS#12 algorithms. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-keyex|-keysig> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Specifies that the private key is to be used for key exchange or just signing. | 
|  | This option is only interpreted by MSIE and similar MS software. Normally | 
|  | "export grade" software will only allow 512 bit RSA keys to be used for | 
|  | encryption purposes but arbitrary length keys for signing. The B<-keysig> | 
|  | option marks the key for signing only. Signing only keys can be used for | 
|  | S/MIME signing, authenticode (ActiveX control signing)  and SSL client | 
|  | authentication, however, due to a bug only MSIE 5.0 and later support | 
|  | the use of signing only keys for SSL client authentication. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-macalg digest> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Specify the MAC digest algorithm. If not included them SHA1 will be used. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-nomaciter>, B<-noiter> | 
|  |  | 
|  | These options affect the iteration counts on the MAC and key algorithms. | 
|  | Unless you wish to produce files compatible with MSIE 4.0 you should leave | 
|  | these options alone. | 
|  |  | 
|  | To discourage attacks by using large dictionaries of common passwords the | 
|  | algorithm that derives keys from passwords can have an iteration count applied | 
|  | to it: this causes a certain part of the algorithm to be repeated and slows it | 
|  | down. The MAC is used to check the file integrity but since it will normally | 
|  | have the same password as the keys and certificates it could also be attacked. | 
|  | By default both MAC and encryption iteration counts are set to 2048, using | 
|  | these options the MAC and encryption iteration counts can be set to 1, since | 
|  | this reduces the file security you should not use these options unless you | 
|  | really have to. Most software supports both MAC and key iteration counts. | 
|  | MSIE 4.0 doesn't support MAC iteration counts so it needs the B<-nomaciter> | 
|  | option. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-maciter> | 
|  |  | 
|  | This option is included for compatibility with previous versions, it used | 
|  | to be needed to use MAC iterations counts but they are now used by default. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-nomac> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Don't attempt to provide the MAC integrity. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-rand file...> | 
|  |  | 
|  | A file or files containing random data used to seed the random number | 
|  | generator. | 
|  | Multiple files can be specified separated by an OS-dependent character. | 
|  | The separator is B<;> for MS-Windows, B<,> for OpenVMS, and B<:> for | 
|  | all others. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item [B<-writerand file>] | 
|  |  | 
|  | Writes random data to the specified I<file> upon exit. | 
|  | This can be used with a subsequent B<-rand> flag. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-CAfile file> | 
|  |  | 
|  | CA storage as a file. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-CApath dir> | 
|  |  | 
|  | CA storage as a directory. This directory must be a standard certificate | 
|  | directory: that is a hash of each subject name (using B<x509 -hash>) should be | 
|  | linked to each certificate. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-no-CAfile> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Do not load the trusted CA certificates from the default file location. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-no-CApath> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Do not load the trusted CA certificates from the default directory location. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-CSP name> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Write B<name> as a Microsoft CSP name. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =back | 
|  |  | 
|  | =head1 NOTES | 
|  |  | 
|  | Although there are a large number of options most of them are very rarely | 
|  | used. For PKCS#12 file parsing only B<-in> and B<-out> need to be used | 
|  | for PKCS#12 file creation B<-export> and B<-name> are also used. | 
|  |  | 
|  | If none of the B<-clcerts>, B<-cacerts> or B<-nocerts> options are present | 
|  | then all certificates will be output in the order they appear in the input | 
|  | PKCS#12 files. There is no guarantee that the first certificate present is | 
|  | the one corresponding to the private key. Certain software which requires | 
|  | a private key and certificate and assumes the first certificate in the | 
|  | file is the one corresponding to the private key: this may not always | 
|  | be the case. Using the B<-clcerts> option will solve this problem by only | 
|  | outputting the certificate corresponding to the private key. If the CA | 
|  | certificates are required then they can be output to a separate file using | 
|  | the B<-nokeys -cacerts> options to just output CA certificates. | 
|  |  | 
|  | The B<-keypbe> and B<-certpbe> algorithms allow the precise encryption | 
|  | algorithms for private keys and certificates to be specified. Normally | 
|  | the defaults are fine but occasionally software can't handle triple DES | 
|  | encrypted private keys, then the option B<-keypbe PBE-SHA1-RC2-40> can | 
|  | be used to reduce the private key encryption to 40 bit RC2. A complete | 
|  | description of all algorithms is contained in the B<pkcs8> manual page. | 
|  |  | 
|  | Prior 1.1 release passwords containing non-ASCII characters were encoded | 
|  | in non-compliant manner, which limited interoperability, in first hand | 
|  | with Windows. But switching to standard-compliant password encoding | 
|  | poses problem accessing old data protected with broken encoding. For | 
|  | this reason even legacy encodings is attempted when reading the | 
|  | data. If you use PKCS#12 files in production application you are advised | 
|  | to convert the data, because implemented heuristic approach is not | 
|  | MT-safe, its sole goal is to facilitate the data upgrade with this | 
|  | utility. |
