<H2>NAME</H2>
openssl-nseq, nseq - create or examine a Netscape certificate sequence
<A NAME="lbAC">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2>
<B>openssl</B> <B>nseq</B>
[<B>-help</B>]
[<B>-in filename</B>]
[<B>-out filename</B>]
[<B>-toseq</B>]
<A NAME="lbAD">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
The <B>nseq</B> 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 NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="1"><B>-help</B><DD>
Print out a usage message.
<DT id="2"><B>-in filename</B><DD>
This specifies the input filename to read or standard input if this
option is not specified.
<DT id="3"><B>-out filename</B><DD>
Specifies the output filename or standard output by default.
<DT id="4"><B>-toseq</B><DD>
Normally a Netscape certificate sequence will be input and the output
is the certificates contained in it. With the <B>-toseq</B> option the
situation is reversed: a Netscape certificate sequence is created from
a file of certificates.
</DL>
<A NAME="lbAF">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>EXAMPLES</H2>
Output the certificates in a Netscape certificate sequence
<P>
<PRE>
openssl nseq -in nseq.pem -out certs.pem
</PRE>
<P>
Create a Netscape certificate sequence
<P>
<PRE>
openssl nseq -in certs.pem -toseq -out nseq.pem
</PRE>
<A NAME="lbAG">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>NOTES</H2>
The <B></B><FONT SIZE="-1"><B>PEM</B></FONT><B></B> encoded form uses the same headers and footers as a certificate:
<P>
<PRE>
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
</PRE>
<P>
A Netscape certificate sequence is a Netscape specific format that can 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 is used by Netscape certificate server for example.
<A NAME="lbAH">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>BUGS</H2>
This program needs a few more options: like allowing <FONT SIZE="-1">DER</FONT> or <FONT SIZE="-1">PEM</FONT> input and
output files and allowing multiple certificate files to be used.
