SYNOPSIS pki --req [--in file|--keyid hex] [--type type] --dn distinguished-name [--san subjectAltName] [--profile profile] [--flag flag] [--password password] [--digest digest] [--rsa-padding padding] [--outform encoding] [--debug level]
pki --req [--in file|--keyid hex] [--type type] --oldreq file [--password password] [--digest digest] [--rsa-padding padding] [--outform encoding] [--debug level]
pki --req --options file
pki --req -h | --help
DESCRIPTION This sub-command of pki(1) is used to create a PKCS#10 certificate request.
OPTIONS -h, --help Print usage information with a summary of the available options.
-v, --debug level Set debug level, default: 1.
-+, --options file Read command line options from file.
-i, --in file Private key input file. If not given the key is read from STDIN.
-x, --keyid hex Smartcard or TPM private key object handle in hex format with an optional 0x prefix.
-t, --type type Type of the input key. Either priv, rsa, ecdsa or bliss, defaults to priv.
-d, --dn distinguished-name Subject distinguished name (DN). Required if the --dn option is not set.
-a, --san subjectAltName subjectAltName extension to include in request. Can be used multiple times.
-P, --profile profile Certificate profile name to be included in the certificate request. Can be any UTF8 string. Supported e.g. by openxpki (with profiles pc-client, tls-server, etc.) or pki --issue (with profiles server, client, dual, or ocsp) that are translated into corresponding Extended Key Usage (EKU) flags in the generated X.509 certificate.
-p, --password password The challengePassword to include in the certificate request.
-o, --oldreq file Old certificate request to be used as a template. Required if the --dn option is not set. The public key in the old certificate request is replaced and a fresh signature is generated using the new private key. Optionally a new challengePassword may be set using the --password option.
-g, --digest digest Digest to use for signature creation. One of sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512, sha3_224, sha3_256, sha3_384, or sha3_512. The default is determined based on the type and size of the signature key.
-R, --rsa-padding padding Padding to use for RSA signatures. Either pkcs1 or pss, defaults to pkcs1.
-f, --outform encoding Encoding of the created certificate file. Either der (ASN.1 DER) or pem (Base64 PEM), defaults to der.
EXAMPLES Generate a certificate request for an RSA key, with a subjectAltName extension and a TLS-server profile:
pki --req --in key.der --dn "C=CH, O=strongSwan, CN=moon" \ --san moon@strongswan.org --profile server > req.der
Generate a certificate request for a renewed key based on an existing template
pki --req --in myNewKey.der --oldreq myReq.der > myNewReq.der
Generate a certificate request for an ECDSA key and a different digest:
pki --req --in key.der --type ecdsa --digest sha256 \ --dn "C=CH, O=strongSwan, CN=carol" > req.der
