With the B<-toseq> option the 3859191Skrissituation is reversed: a Netscape certificate sequence is created from 3959191Skrisa file of certificates. 4059191Skris 4159191Skris=back 4259191Skris 4359191Skris=head1 EXAMPLES 4459191Skris 4559191SkrisOutput the certificates in a Netscape certificate sequence 4659191Skris 4759191Skris openssl nseq -in nseq.pem -out certs.pem 4859191Skris 4959191SkrisCreate a Netscape certificate sequence 5059191Skris 5159191Skris openssl nseq -in certs.pem -toseq -out nseq.pem 5259191Skris 5359191Skris=head1 NOTES 5459191Skris 5559191SkrisThe B<PEM> encoded form uses the same headers and footers as a certificate: 5659191Skris 5759191Skris -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- 5859191Skris -----END CERTIFICATE----- 5959191Skris 6059191SkrisA Netscape certificate sequence is a Netscape specific form that can be sent 6159191Skristo browsers as an alternative to the standard PKCS#7 format when several 6259191Skriscertificates are sent to the browser: for example during certificate enrollment. 6359191SkrisIt is used by Netscape certificate server for example. 6459191Skris 6559191Skris=head1 BUGS 6659191Skris 6759191SkrisThis program needs a few more options: like allowing DER or PEM input and 6859191Skrisoutput files and allowing multiple certificate files to be used. 6959191Skris 7059191Skris=cut 71
