DESCRIPTION
This sub-command of pki(1) is used to create a self-signed certificate.
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, ed25519, ed448
or bliss, defaults to priv.
-d, --dn distinguished-name
Subject and issuer distinguished name (DN). Required.
-a, --san subjectAltName
subjectAltName extension to include in certificate. Can be used
multiple times.
-l, --lifetime days
Days the certificate is valid, default: 1095. Ignored if both an
absolute start and end time are given.
-F, --not-before datetime
Absolute time when the validity of the certificate begins. The
strptime(3) format for the --not-before and --not-after options,
default: %d.%m.%y %T
-s, --serial hex
Serial number in hex. It is randomly allocated by default.
-e, --flag flag
Add extendedKeyUsage flag. One of serverAuth, clientAuth,
crlSign, or ocspSigning. Can be used multiple times.
-g, --digest digest
Digest to use for signature creation. One of md5, sha1, sha224,
sha256, sha384, or sha512. 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.
-b, --ca
Include CA basicConstraint extension in certificate.
-o, --ocsp uri
OCSP AuthorityInfoAccess URI to include in certificate. Can be
used multiple times.
-p, --pathlen len
Set path length constraint.
-B, --addrblock block
RFC 3779 address block to include in certificate. block is
either a CIDR subnet (such as 10.0.0.0/8) or an arbitrary
address range (192.168.1.7-192.168.1.13). Can be repeated to
include multiple blocks. Please note that the supplied blocks
are included in the certificate as is, so for standards
compliance, multiple blocks must be supplied in correct order
and adjacent blocks must be combined. Refer to RFC 3779 for
details.
-n, --nc-permitted name
Add permitted NameConstraint extension to certificate. For DNS
or email constraints, the identity type is not always detectable
by the given name. Use the dns: or email: prefix to force a
constraint type.
-N, --nc-excluded name
Add excluded NameConstraint extension to certificate. For DNS or
email constraints, the identity type is not always detectable by
the given name. Use the dns: or email: prefix to force a
constraint type.
-X, --critical oid
Add a critical extension with the given OID.
-M, --policy-mapping issuer-oid:subject-oid
-A, --policy-any len
Add inhibitAnyPolicy constraint.
Certificate Policy
Multiple certificatePolicy extensions can be added. Each with the
following information:
-P, --cert-policy oid
OID to include in certificatePolicy extension. Required.
-C, --cps-uri uri
Certification Practice statement URI for certificatePolicy.
-U, --user-notice text
User notice for certificatePolicy.
EXAMPLES
Generate a self-signed certificate using the given RSA key:
pki --self --in key.der --dn "C=CH, O=strongSwan, CN=moon" \
--san moon.strongswan.org > cert.der
