This command can thus be called after the +B<-sign> option. The PKCS#12 file can be imported directly into a browser. +If there is an additional argument on the command line it will be used as the +"friendly name" for the certificate (which is typically displayed in the browser +list box), otherwise the name "My Certificate" is used. + +=item B<-sign>, B<-signreq>, B<-xsign> + +calls the B<ca> program to sign a certificate request.

This is a section in +the configuration file which decides which fields should be mandatory +or match the CA certificate. Check out the B<POLICY FORMAT> section +for more information. + +=item B<-msie_hack> + +this is a legacy option to make B<ca> work with very old versions of +the IE certificate enrollment control "certenr3". It used UniversalStrings +for almost everything. Since the old control has various security bugs +its use is strongly discouraged. The newer control "Xenroll" does not +need this option. + +=item B<-preserveDN> + +Normally the DN order of a certificate is the same as the order of the +fields in the relevant policy section. When this option is set the order +is the same as the request. This is largely for compatibility with the +older IE enrollment control which would only accept certificates if their +DNs match the order of the request. This is not needed for Xenroll. + +=item B<-noemailDN> + +The DN of a certificate can contain the EMAIL field if present in the +request DN, however it is good policy just having the e-mail set into +the altName extension of the certificate. When this option is set the +EMAIL field is removed from the certificate' subject and set only in +the, eventually present, extensions.

The matching of B<reason> is case +insensitive. Setting any revocation reason will make the CRL v2. + +In practive B<removeFromCRL> is not particularly useful because it is only used +in delta CRLs which are not currently implemented. + +=item B<-crl_hold instruction> + +This sets the CRL revocation reason code to B<certificateHold> and the hold +instruction to B<instruction> which must be an OID. Although any OID can be +used only B<holdInstructionNone> (the use of which is discouraged by RFC2459) +B<holdInstructionCallIssuer> or B<holdInstructionReject> will normally be used. + +=item B<-crl_compromise time> + +This sets the revocation reason to B<keyCompromise> and the compromise time to +B<time>.

Where an +option is described as mandatory then it must be present in +the configuration file or the command line equivalent (if +any) used. + +=over 4 + +=item B<oid_file> + +This specifies a file containing additional B<OBJECT IDENTIFIERS>. +Each line of the file should consist of the numerical form of the +object identifier followed by white space then the short name followed +by white space and finally the long name. + +=item B<oid_section> + +This specifies a section in the configuration file containing extra +object identifiers. Each line should consist of the short name of the +object identifier followed by B<=> and the numerical form.

If not set the current time is used. + +=item B<default_enddate> + +the same as the B<-enddate> option. Either this option or +B<default_days> (or the command line equivalents) must be +present. + +=item B<default_crl_hours default_crl_days> + +the same as the B<-crlhours> and the B<-crldays> options. These +will only be used if neither command line option is present. At +least one of these must be present to generate a CRL. + +=item B<default_md> + +the same as the B<-md> option. The message digest to use. Mandatory. + +=item B<database> + +the text database file to use. Mandatory. This file must be present +though initially it will be empty. + +=item B<unique_subject> + +if the value B<yes> is given, the valid certificate entries in the +database must have unique subjects. if the value B<no> is given, +several valid certificate entries may have the exact same subject. +The default value is B<yes>, to be compatible with older (pre 0.9.8) +versions of OpenSSL. However, to make CA certificate roll-over easier, +it's recommended to use the value B<no>, especially if combined with +the B<-selfsign> command line option. + +=item B<serial> + +a text file containing the next serial number to use in hex. Mandatory. +This file must be present and contain a valid serial number. + +=item B<crlnumber> + +a text file containing the next CRL number to use in hex. The crl number +will be inserted in the CRLs only if this file exists. If this file is +present, it must contain a valid CRL number. + +=item B<x509_extensions> + +the same as B<-extensions>. + +=item B<crl_extensions> + +the same as B<-crlexts>. + +=item B<preserve> + +the same as B<-preserveDN> + +=item B<email_in_dn> + +the same as B<-noemailDN>. If you want the EMAIL field to be removed +from the DN of the certificate simply set this to 'no'. If not present +the default is to allow for the EMAIL filed in the certificate's DN. + +=item B<msie_hack> + +the same as B<-msie_hack> + +=item B<policy> + +the same as B<-policy>. Mandatory. See the B<POLICY FORMAT> section +for more information. + +=item B<name_opt>, B<cert_opt> + +these options allow the format used to display the certificate details +when asking the user to confirm signing. All the options supported by +the B<x509> utilities B<-nameopt> and B<-certopt> switches can be used +here, except the B<no_signame> and B<no_sigdump> are permanently set +and cannot be disabled (this is because the certificate signature cannot +be displayed because the certificate has not been signed at this point). + +For convenience the values B<ca_default> are accepted by both to produce +a reasonable output. + +If neither option is present the format used in earlier versions of +OpenSSL is used. Use of the old format is B<strongly> discouraged because +it only displays fields mentioned in the B<policy> section, mishandles +multicharacter string types and does not display extensions. + +=item B<copy_extensions> + +determines how extensions in certificate requests should be handled. +If set to B<none> or this option is not present then extensions are +ignored and not copied to the certificate. If set to B<copy> then any +extensions present in the request that are not already present are copied +to the certificate. If set to B<copyall> then all extensions in the +request are copied to the certificate: if the extension is already present +in the certificate it is deleted first. See the B<WARNINGS> section before +using this option. + +The main use of this option is to allow a certificate request to supply +values for certain extensions such as subjectAltName. + +=back + +=head1 POLICY FORMAT + +The policy section consists of a set of variables corresponding to +certificate DN fields. If the value is "match" then the field value +must match the same field in the CA certificate. If the value is +"supplied" then it must be present. If the value is "optional" then +it may be present. Any fields not mentioned in the policy section +are silently deleted, unless the B<-preserveDN> option is set but +this can be regarded more of a quirk than intended behaviour. + +=head1 SPKAC FORMAT + +The input to the B<-spkac> command line option is a Netscape +signed public key and challenge. This will usually come from +the B<KEYGEN> tag in an HTML form to create a new private key. +It is however possible to create SPKACs using the B<spkac> utility. + +The file should contain the variable SPKAC set to the value of +the SPKAC and also the required DN components as name value pairs. +If you need to include the same component twice then it can be +preceded by a number and a '.'. + +=head1 EXAMPLES + +Note: these examples assume that the B<ca> directory structure is +already set up and the relevant files already exist. This usually +involves creating a CA certificate and private key with B<req>, a +serial number file and an empty index file and placing them in +the relevant directories. + +To use the sample configuration file below the directories demoCA, +demoCA/private and demoCA/newcerts would be created. The CA +certificate would be copied to demoCA/cacert.pem and its private +key to demoCA/private/cakey.pem.

It is theoretically possible +to rebuild the index file from all the issued certificates and a current +CRL: however there is no option to do this. + +V2 CRL features like delta CRLs are not currently supported. + +Although several requests can be input and handled at once it is only +possible to include one SPKAC or self signed certificate. + +=head1 BUGS + +The use of an in memory text database can cause problems when large +numbers of certificates are present because, as the name implies +the database has to be kept in memory. + +The B<ca> command really needs rewriting or the required functionality +exposed at either a command or interface level so a more friendly utility +(perl script or GUI) can handle things properly. The scripts B<CA.sh> and +B<CA.pl> help a little but not very much. + +Any fields in a request that are not present in a policy are silently +deleted. This does not happen if the B<-preserveDN> option is used. To +enforce the absence of the EMAIL field within the DN, as suggested by +RFCs, regardless the contents of the request' subject the B<-noemailDN> +option can be used. The behaviour should be more friendly and +configurable. + +Cancelling some commands by refusing to certify a certificate can +create an empty file. + +=head1 WARNINGS + +The B<ca> command is quirky and at times downright unfriendly. + +The B<ca> utility was originally meant as an example of how to do things +in a CA. It was not supposed to be used as a full blown CA itself: +nevertheless some people are using it for this purpose. + +The B<ca> command is effectively a single user command: no locking is +done on the various files and attempts to run more than one B<ca> command +on the same database can have unpredictable results. + +The B<copy_extensions> option should be used with caution. If care is +not taken then it can be a security risk. For example if a certificate +request contains a basicConstraints extension with CA:TRUE and the +B<copy_extensions> value is set to B<copyall> and the user does not spot +this when the certificate is displayed then this will hand the requestor +a valid CA certificate. + +This situation can be avoided by setting B<copy_extensions> to B<copy> +and including basicConstraints with CA:FALSE in the configuration file. +Then if the request contains a basicConstraints extension it will be +ignored. + +It is advisable to also include values for other extensions such +as B<keyUsage> to prevent a request supplying its own values. + +Additional restrictions can be placed on the CA certificate itself. +For example if the CA certificate has: + + basicConstraints = CA:TRUE, pathlen:0 + +then even if a certificate is issued with CA:TRUE it will not be valid. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<req(1)|req(1)>, L<spkac(1)|spkac(1)>, L<x509(1)|x509(1)>, L<CA.pl(1)|CA.pl(1)>, +L<config(5)|config(5)> + +=cut diff --git a/openssl/doc/apps/ciphers.pod b/openssl/doc/apps/ciphers.pod new file mode 100644 index 000000000..694e433ef --- /dev/null +++ b/openssl/doc/apps/ciphers.pod @@ -0,0 +1,434 @@ +=pod + +=head1 NAME + +ciphers - SSL cipher display and cipher list tool. + +=head1 SYNOPSIS + +B<openssl> B<ciphers> +[B<-v>] +[B<-ssl2>] +[B<-ssl3>] +[B<-tls1>] +[B<cipherlist>] + +=head1 DESCRIPTION + +The B<cipherlist> command converts OpenSSL cipher lists into ordered +SSL cipher preference lists.

The format is described below. + +=back + +=head1 CIPHER LIST FORMAT + +The cipher list consists of one or more I<cipher strings> separated by colons. +Commas or spaces are also acceptable separators but colons are normally used. + +The actual cipher string can take several different forms. + +It can consist of a single cipher suite such as B<RC4-SHA>. + +It can represent a list of cipher suites containing a certain algorithm, or +cipher suites of a certain type. For example B<SHA1> represents all ciphers +suites using the digest algorithm SHA1 and B<SSLv3> represents all SSL v3 +algorithms. + +Lists of cipher suites can be combined in a single cipher string using the +B<+> character. This is used as a logical B<and> operation. For example +B<SHA1+DES> represents all cipher suites containing the SHA1 B<and> the DES +algorithms. + +Each cipher string can be optionally preceded by the characters B<!>, +B<-> or B<+>. + +If B<!> is used then the ciphers are permanently deleted from the list. +The ciphers deleted can never reappear in the list even if they are +explicitly stated. + +If B<-> is used then the ciphers are deleted from the list, but some or +all of the ciphers can be added again by later options. + +If B<+> is used then the ciphers are moved to the end of the list. This +option doesn't add any new ciphers it just moves matching existing ones. + +If none of these characters is present then the string is just interpreted +as a list of ciphers to be appended to the current preference list. If the +list includes any ciphers already present they will be ignored: that is they +will not moved to the end of the list. + +Additionally the cipher string B<@STRENGTH> can be used at any point to sort +the current cipher list in order of encryption algorithm key length. + +=head1 CIPHER STRINGS + +The following is a list of all permitted cipher strings and their meanings. + +=over 4 + +=item B<DEFAULT> + +the default cipher list.

OpenSSL CONF library can be used to read configuration files. +It is used for the OpenSSL master configuration file B<openssl.cnf> +and in a few other places like B<SPKAC> files and certificate extension +files for the B<x509> utility. OpenSSL applications can also use the +CONF library for their own purposes. + +A configuration file is divided into a number of sections. Each section +starts with a line B<[ section_name ]> and ends when a new section is +started or end of file is reached. A section name can consist of +alphanumeric characters and underscores. + +The first section of a configuration file is special and is referred +to as the B<default> section this is usually unnamed and is from the +start of file until the first named section. When a name is being looked up +it is first looked up in a named section (if any) and then the +default section. + +The environment is mapped onto a section called B<ENV>. + +Comments can be included by preceding them with the B<#> character + +Each section in a configuration file consists of a number of name and +value pairs of the form B<name=value> + +The B<name> string can contain any alphanumeric characters as well as +a few punctuation symbols such as B<.> B<,> B<;> and B<_>. + +The B<value> string consists of the string following the B<=> character +until end of line with any leading and trailing white space removed. + +The value string undergoes variable expansion. This can be done by +including the form B<$var> or B<${var}>: this will substitute the value +of the named variable in the current section. It is also possible to +substitute a value from another section using the syntax B<$section::name> +or B<${section::name}>. By using the form B<$ENV::name> environment +variables can be substituted. It is also possible to assign values to +environment variables by using the name B<ENV::name>, this will work +if the program looks up environment variables using the B<CONF> library +instead of calling B<getenv()> directly. + +It is possible to escape certain characters by using any kind of quote +or the B<\> character. By making the last character of a line a B<\> +a B<value> string can be spread across multiple lines. In addition +the sequences B<\n>, B<\r>, B<\b> and B<\t> are recognized. + +=head1 OPENSSL LIBRARY CONFIGURATION + +In OpenSSL 0.9.7 and later applications can automatically configure certain +aspects of OpenSSL using the master OpenSSL configuration file, or optionally +an alternative configuration file. The B<openssl> utility includes this +functionality: any sub command uses the master OpenSSL configuration file +unless an option is used in the sub command to use an alternative configuration +file. + +To enable library configuration the default section needs to contain an +appropriate line which points to the main configuration section. The default +name is B<openssl_conf> which is used by the B<openssl> utility. Other +applications may use an alternative name such as B<myapplicaton_conf>. + +The configuration section should consist of a set of name value pairs which +contain specific module configuration information. The B<name> represents +the name of the I<configuration module> the meaning of the B<value> is +module specific: it may, for example, represent a further configuration +section containing configuration module specific information. E.g. + + openssl_conf = openssl_init + + [openssl_init] + + oid_section = new_oids + engines = engine_section + + [new_oids] + + ... new oids here ... + + [engine_section] + + ... engine stuff here ... + +Currently there are two configuration modules. One for ASN1 objects another +for ENGINE configuration. + +=head2 ASN1 OBJECT CONFIGURATION MODULE + +This module has the name B<oid_section>. The value of this variable points +to a section containing name value pairs of OIDs: the name is the OID short +and long name, the value is the numerical form of the OID. Although some of +the B<openssl> utility sub commands already have their own ASN1 OBJECT section +functionality not all do. By using the ASN1 OBJECT configuration module +B<all> the B<openssl> utility sub commands can see the new objects as well +as any compliant applications. For example: + + [new_oids] + + some_new_oid = 1.2.3.4 + some_other_oid = 1.2.3.5 + +In OpenSSL 0.9.8 it is also possible to set the value to the long name followed +by a comma and the numerical OID form. For example: + + shortName = some object long name, 1.2.3.4 + +=head2 ENGINE CONFIGURATION MODULE + +This ENGINE configuration module has the name B<engines>. The value of this +variable points to a section containing further ENGINE configuration +information. + +The section pointed to by B<engines> is a table of engine names (though see +B<engine_id> below) and further sections containing configuration informations +specific to each ENGINE. + +Each ENGINE specific section is used to set default algorithms, load +dynamic, perform initialization and send ctrls. The actual operation performed +depends on the I<command> name which is the name of the name value pair. The +currently supported commands are listed below. + +For example: + + [engine_section] + + # Configure ENGINE named "foo" + foo = foo_section + # Configure ENGINE named "bar" + bar = bar_section + + [foo_section] + ... foo ENGINE specific commands ... + + [bar_section] + ... "bar" ENGINE specific commands ... + +The command B<engine_id> is used to give the ENGINE name. If used this +command must be first. For example: + + [engine_section] + # This would normally handle an ENGINE named "foo" + foo = foo_section + + [foo_section] + # Override default name and use "myfoo" instead. + engine_id = myfoo + +The command B<dynamic_path> loads and adds an ENGINE from the given path. It +is equivalent to sending the ctrls B<SO_PATH> with the path argument followed +by B<LIST_ADD> with value 2 and B<LOAD> to the dynamic ENGINE. If this is +not the required behaviour then alternative ctrls can be sent directly +to the dynamic ENGINE using ctrl commands. + +The command B<init> determines whether to initialize the ENGINE. If the value +is B<0> the ENGINE will not be initialized, if B<1> and attempt it made to +initialized the ENGINE immediately. If the B<init> command is not present +then an attempt will be made to initialize the ENGINE after all commands in +its section have been processed. + +The command B<default_algorithms> sets the default algorithms an ENGINE will +supply using the functions B<ENGINE_set_default_string()> + +If the name matches none of the above command names it is assumed to be a +ctrl command which is sent to the ENGINE. The value of the command is the +argument to the ctrl command. If the value is the string B<EMPTY> then no +value is sent to the command. + +For example: + + + [engine_section] + + # Configure ENGINE named "foo" + foo = foo_section + + [foo_section] + # Load engine from DSO + dynamic_path = /some/path/fooengine.so + # A foo specific ctrl. + some_ctrl = some_value + # Another ctrl that doesn't take a value. + other_ctrl = EMPTY + # Supply all default algorithms + default_algorithms = ALL + +=head1 NOTES + +If a configuration file attempts to expand a variable that doesn't exist +then an error is flagged and the file will not load. This can happen +if an attempt is made to expand an environment variable that doesn't +exist. For example in a previous version of OpenSSL the default OpenSSL +master configuration file used the value of B<HOME> which may not be +defined on non Unix systems and would cause an error. + +This can be worked around by including a B<default> section to provide +a default value: then if the environment lookup fails the default value +will be used instead. For this to work properly the default value must +be defined earlier in the configuration file than the expansion. See +the B<EXAMPLES> section for an example of how to do this. + +If the same variable exists in the same section then all but the last +value will be silently ignored. In certain circumstances such as with +DNs the same field may occur multiple times. This is usually worked +around by ignoring any characters before an initial B<.> e.g. + + 1.OU="My first OU" + 2.OU="My Second OU" + +=head1 EXAMPLES + +Here is a sample configuration file using some of the features +mentioned above. + + # This is the default section. + + HOME=/temp + RANDFILE= ${ENV::HOME}/.rnd + configdir=$ENV::HOME/config + + [ section_one ] + + # We are now in section one. + + # Quotes permit leading and trailing whitespace + any = " any variable name " + + other = A string that can \ + cover several lines \ + by including \\ characters + + message = Hello World\n + + [ section_two ] + + greeting = $section_one::message + +This next example shows how to expand environment variables safely. + +Suppose you want a variable called B<tmpfile> to refer to a +temporary filename. The directory it is placed in can determined by +the the B<TEMP> or B<TMP> environment variables but they may not be +set to any value at all. If you just include the environment variable +names and the variable doesn't exist then this will cause an error when +an attempt is made to load the configuration file. By making use of the +default section both values can be looked up with B<TEMP> taking +priority and B</tmp> used if neither is defined: + + TMP=/tmp + # The above value is used if TMP isn't in the environment + TEMP=$ENV::TMP + # The above value is used if TEMP isn't in the environment + tmpfile=${ENV::TEMP}/tmp.filename + +=head1 BUGS + +Currently there is no way to include characters using the octal B<\nnn> +form.

If neither option is present then the B<nextUpdate> field is +omitted meaning fresh revocation information is immediately available. + +=back + +=head1 OCSP Response verification. + +OCSP Response follows the rules specified in RFC2560. + +Initially the OCSP responder certificate is located and the signature on +the OCSP request checked using the responder certificate's public key. + +Then a normal certificate verify is performed on the OCSP responder certificate +building up a certificate chain in the process. The locations of the trusted +certificates used to build the chain can be specified by the B<CAfile> +and B<CApath> options or they will be looked for in the standard OpenSSL +certificates directory. + +If the initial verify fails then the OCSP verify process halts with an +error. + +Otherwise the issuing CA certificate in the request is compared to the OCSP +responder certificate: if there is a match then the OCSP verify succeeds. + +Otherwise the OCSP responder certificate's CA is checked against the issuing +CA certificate in the request. If there is a match and the OCSPSigning +extended key usage is present in the OCSP responder certificate then the +OCSP verify succeeds. + +Otherwise the root CA of the OCSP responders CA is checked to see if it +is trusted for OCSP signing. If it is the OCSP verify succeeds. + +If none of these checks is successful then the OCSP verify fails. + +What this effectively means if that if the OCSP responder certificate is +authorised directly by the CA it is issuing revocation information about +(and it is correctly configured) then verification will succeed. + +If the OCSP responder is a "global responder" which can give details about +multiple CAs and has its own separate certificate chain then its root +CA can be trusted for OCSP signing. For example: + + openssl x509 -in ocspCA.pem -addtrust OCSPSigning -out trustedCA.pem + +Alternatively the responder certificate itself can be explicitly trusted +with the B<-VAfile> option. + +=head1 NOTES + +As noted, most of the verify options are for testing or debugging purposes. +Normally only the B<-CApath>, B<-CAfile> and (if the responder is a 'global +VA') B<-VAfile> options need to be used. + +The OCSP server is only useful for test and demonstration purposes: it is +not really usable as a full OCSP responder.

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.

Under rare circumstances this could produce a PKCS#12 file encrypted +with an invalid key. As a result some PKCS#12 files which triggered this bug +from other implementations (MSIE or Netscape) could not be decrypted +by OpenSSL and similarly OpenSSL could produce PKCS#12 files which could +not be decrypted by other implementations. The chances of producing such +a file are relatively small: less than 1 in 256. + +A side effect of fixing this bug is that any old invalidly encrypted PKCS#12 +files cannot no longer be parsed by the fixed version. Under such circumstances +the B<pkcs12> utility will report that the MAC is OK but fail with a decryption +error when extracting private keys. + +This problem can be resolved by extracting the private keys and certificates +from the PKCS#12 file using an older version of OpenSSL and recreating the PKCS#12 +file from the keys and certificates using a newer version of OpenSSL.

It can be overridden +by the B<-reqexts> command line switch. + +=item B<x509_extensions> + +this specifies the configuration file section containing a list of +extensions to add to certificate generated when the B<-x509> switch +is used. It can be overridden by the B<-extensions> command line switch. + +=item B<prompt> + +if set to the value B<no> this disables prompting of certificate fields +and just takes values from the config file directly. It also changes the +expected format of the B<distinguished_name> and B<attributes> sections. + +=item B<utf8> + +if set to the value B<yes> then field values to be interpreted as UTF8 +strings, by default they are interpreted as ASCII. This means that +the field values, whether prompted from a terminal or obtained from a +configuration file, must be valid UTF8 strings. + +=item B<attributes> + +this specifies the section containing any request attributes: its format +is the same as B<distinguished_name>. Typically these may contain the +challengePassword or unstructuredName types. They are currently ignored +by OpenSSL's request signing utilities but some CAs might want them. + +=item B<distinguished_name> + +This specifies the section containing the distinguished name fields to +prompt for when generating a certificate or certificate request. The format +is described in the next section. + +=back + +=head1 DISTINGUISHED NAME AND ATTRIBUTE SECTION FORMAT + +There are two separate formats for the distinguished name and attribute +sections. If the B<prompt> option is set to B<no> then these sections +just consist of field names and values: for example, + + CN=My Name + OU=My Organization + emailAddress=someone@somewhere.org + +This allows external programs (e.g. GUI based) to generate a template file +with all the field names and values and just pass it to B<req>. An example +of this kind of configuration file is contained in the B<EXAMPLES> section. + +Alternatively if the B<prompt> option is absent or not set to B<no> then the +file contains field prompting information. It consists of lines of the form: + + fieldName="prompt" + fieldName_default="default field value" + fieldName_min= 2 + fieldName_max= 4 + +"fieldName" is the field name being used, for example commonName (or CN). +The "prompt" string is used to ask the user to enter the relevant +details. If the user enters nothing then the default value is used if no +default value is present then the field is omitted. A field can +still be omitted if a default value is present if the user just +enters the '.' character. + +The number of characters entered must be between the fieldName_min and +fieldName_max limits: there may be additional restrictions based +on the field being used (for example countryName can only ever be +two characters long and must fit in a PrintableString). + +Some fields (such as organizationName) can be used more than once +in a DN. This presents a problem because configuration files will +not recognize the same name occurring twice. To avoid this problem +if the fieldName contains some characters followed by a full stop +they will be ignored. So for example a second organizationName can +be input by calling it "1.organizationName". + +The actual permitted field names are any object identifier short or +long names. These are compiled into OpenSSL and include the usual +values such as commonName, countryName, localityName, organizationName, +organizationUnitName, stateOrProvinceName. Additionally emailAddress +is include as well as name, surname, givenName initials and dnQualifier. + +Additional object identifiers can be defined with the B<oid_file> or +B<oid_section> options in the configuration file. Any additional fields +will be treated as though they were a DirectoryString. + + +=head1 EXAMPLES + +Examine and verify certificate request: + + openssl req -in req.pem -text -verify -noout + +Create a private key and then generate a certificate request from it: + + openssl genrsa -out key.pem 1024 + openssl req -new -key key.pem -out req.pem + +The same but just using req: + + openssl req -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout key.pem -out req.pem + +Generate a self signed root certificate: + + openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout key.pem -out req.pem + +Example of a file pointed to by the B<oid_file> option: + + 1.2.3.4 shortName A longer Name + 1.2.3.6 otherName Other longer Name + +Example of a section pointed to by B<oid_section> making use of variable +expansion: + + testoid1=1.2.3.5 + testoid2=${testoid1}.6 + +Sample configuration file prompting for field values: + + [ req ] + default_bits = 1024 + default_keyfile = privkey.pem + distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name + attributes = req_attributes + x509_extensions = v3_ca + + dirstring_type = nobmp + + [ req_distinguished_name ] + countryName = Country Name (2 letter code) + countryName_default = AU + countryName_min = 2 + countryName_max = 2 + + localityName = Locality Name (eg, city) + + organizationalUnitName = Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) + + commonName = Common Name (eg, YOUR name) + commonName_max = 64 + + emailAddress = Email Address + emailAddress_max = 40 + + [ req_attributes ] + challengePassword = A challenge password + challengePassword_min = 4 + challengePassword_max = 20 + + [ v3_ca ] + + subjectKeyIdentifier=hash + authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid:always,issuer:always + basicConstraints = CA:true + +Sample configuration containing all field values: + + + RANDFILE = $ENV::HOME/.rnd + + [ req ] + default_bits = 1024 + default_keyfile = keyfile.pem + distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name + attributes = req_attributes + prompt = no + output_password = mypass + + [ req_distinguished_name ] + C = GB + ST = Test State or Province + L = Test Locality + O = Organization Name + OU = Organizational Unit Name + CN = Common Name + emailAddress = test@email.address + + [ req_attributes ] + challengePassword = A challenge password + + +=head1 NOTES + +The header and footer lines in the B<PEM> format are normally: + + -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- + -----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- + +some software (some versions of Netscape certificate server) instead needs: + + -----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- + -----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- + +which is produced with the B<-newhdr> option but is otherwise compatible. +Either form is accepted transparently on input. + +The certificate requests generated by B<Xenroll> with MSIE have extensions +added.

If you have to use accented characters with Netscape +and MSIE then you currently need to use the invalid T61String form. + +The current prompting is not very friendly.

They should +all be in PEM format. + + +=back + +=head1 VERIFY OPERATION + +The B<verify> program uses the same functions as the internal SSL and S/MIME +verification, therefore this description applies to these verify operations +too. + +There is one crucial difference between the verify operations performed +by the B<verify> program: wherever possible an attempt is made to continue +after an error whereas normally the verify operation would halt on the +first error. This allows all the problems with a certificate chain to be +determined. + +The verify operation consists of a number of separate steps. + +Firstly a certificate chain is built up starting from the supplied certificate +and ending in the root CA. It is an error if the whole chain cannot be built +up. The chain is built up by looking up the issuers certificate of the current +certificate. If a certificate is found which is its own issuer it is assumed +to be the root CA. + +The process of 'looking up the issuers certificate' itself involves a number +of steps. In versions of OpenSSL before 0.9.5a the first certificate whose +subject name matched the issuer of the current certificate was assumed to be +the issuers certificate. In OpenSSL 0.9.6 and later all certificates +whose subject name matches the issuer name of the current certificate are +subject to further tests. The relevant authority key identifier components +of the current certificate (if present) must match the subject key identifier +(if present) and issuer and serial number of the candidate issuer, in addition +the keyUsage extension of the candidate issuer (if present) must permit +certificate signing. + +The lookup first looks in the list of untrusted certificates and if no match +is found the remaining lookups are from the trusted certificates. The root CA +is always looked up in the trusted certificate list: if the certificate to +verify is a root certificate then an exact match must be found in the trusted +list. + +The second operation is to check every untrusted certificate's extensions for +consistency with the supplied purpose. If the B<-purpose> option is not included +then no checks are done. The supplied or "leaf" certificate must have extensions +compatible with the supplied purpose and all other certificates must also be valid +CA certificates. The precise extensions required are described in more detail in +the B<CERTIFICATE EXTENSIONS> section of the B<x509> utility. + +The third operation is to check the trust settings on the root CA. The root +CA should be trusted for the supplied purpose. For compatibility with previous +versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL a certificate with no trust settings is considered +to be valid for all purposes. + +The final operation is to check the validity of the certificate chain. The validity +period is checked against the current system time and the notBefore and notAfter +dates in the certificate. The certificate signatures are also checked at this +point. + +If all operations complete successfully then certificate is considered valid. If +any operation fails then the certificate is not valid. + +=head1 DIAGNOSTICS + +When a verify operation fails the output messages can be somewhat cryptic. The +general form of the error message is: + + server.pem: /C=AU/ST=Queensland/O=CryptSoft Pty Ltd/CN=Test CA (1024 bit) + error 24 at 1 depth lookup:invalid CA certificate + +The first line contains the name of the certificate being verified followed by +the subject name of the certificate.

By default a trusted certificate must be stored +locally and must be a root CA: any certificate chain ending in this CA +is then usable for any purpose. + +Trust settings currently are only used with a root CA. They allow a finer +control over the purposes the root CA can be used for. For example a CA +may be trusted for SSL client but not SSL server use. + +See the description of the B<verify> utility for more information on the +meaning of trust settings. + +Future versions of OpenSSL will recognize trust settings on any +certificate: not just root CAs. + + +=over 4 + +=item B<-trustout> + +this causes B<x509> to output a B<trusted> certificate. An ordinary +or trusted certificate can be input but by default an ordinary +certificate is output and any trust settings are discarded. With the +B<-trustout> option a trusted certificate is output. A trusted +certificate is automatically output if any trust settings are modified. + +=item B<-setalias arg> + +sets the alias of the certificate. This will allow the certificate +to be referred to using a nickname for example "Steve's Certificate". + +=item B<-alias> + +outputs the certificate alias, if any. + +=item B<-clrtrust> + +clears all the permitted or trusted uses of the certificate. + +=item B<-clrreject> + +clears all the prohibited or rejected uses of the certificate. + +=item B<-addtrust arg> + +adds a trusted certificate use. Any object name can be used here +but currently only B<clientAuth> (SSL client use), B<serverAuth> +(SSL server use) and B<emailProtection> (S/MIME email) are used. +Other OpenSSL applications may define additional uses. + +=item B<-addreject arg> + +adds a prohibited use. It accepts the same values as the B<-addtrust> +option. + +=item B<-purpose> + +this option performs tests on the certificate extensions and outputs +the results. For a more complete description see the B<CERTIFICATE +EXTENSIONS> section. + +=back + +=head2 SIGNING OPTIONS + +The B<x509> utility can be used to sign certificates and requests: it +can thus behave like a "mini CA". + +=over 4 + +=item B<-signkey filename> + +this option causes the input file to be self signed using the supplied +private key. + +If the input file is a certificate it sets the issuer name to the +subject name (i.e. makes it self signed) changes the public key to the +supplied value and changes the start and end dates. The start date is +set to the current time and the end date is set to a value determined +by the B<-days> option. Any certificate extensions are retained unless +the B<-clrext> option is supplied. + +If the input is a certificate request then a self signed certificate +is created using the supplied private key using the subject name in +the request. + +=item B<-clrext> + +delete any extensions from a certificate. This option is used when a +certificate is being created from another certificate (for example with +the B<-signkey> or the B<-CA> options). Normally all extensions are +retained. + +=item B<-keyform PEM|DER> + +specifies the format (DER or PEM) of the private key file used in the +B<-signkey> option. + +=item B<-days arg> + +specifies the number of days to make a certificate valid for. The default +is 30 days. + +=item B<-x509toreq> + +converts a certificate into a certificate request. The B<-signkey> option +is used to pass the required private key. + +=item B<-req> + +by default a certificate is expected on input. With this option a +certificate request is expected instead. + +=item B<-set_serial n> + +specifies the serial number to use. This option can be used with either +the B<-signkey> or B<-CA> options. If used in conjunction with the B<-CA> +option the serial number file (as specified by the B<-CAserial> or +B<-CAcreateserial> options) is not used. + +The serial number can be decimal or hex (if preceded by B<0x>). Negative +serial numbers can also be specified but their use is not recommended. + +=item B<-CA filename> + +specifies the CA certificate to be used for signing. When this option is +present B<x509> behaves like a "mini CA". The input file is signed by this +CA using this option: that is its issuer name is set to the subject name +of the CA and it is digitally signed using the CAs private key. + +This option is normally combined with the B<-req> option. Without the +B<-req> option the input is a certificate which must be self signed. + +=item B<-CAkey filename> + +sets the CA private key to sign a certificate with. If this option is +not specified then it is assumed that the CA private key is present in +the CA certificate file. + +=item B<-CAserial filename> + +sets the CA serial number file to use. + +When the B<-CA> option is used to sign a certificate it uses a serial +number specified in a file. This file consist of one line containing +an even number of hex digits with the serial number to use. After each +use the serial number is incremented and written out to the file again. + +The default filename consists of the CA certificate file base name with +".srl" appended. For example if the CA certificate file is called +"mycacert.pem" it expects to find a serial number file called "mycacert.srl". + +=item B<-CAcreateserial> + +with this option the CA serial number file is created if it does not exist: +it will contain the serial number "02" and the certificate being signed will +have the 1 as its serial number. Normally if the B<-CA> option is specified +and the serial number file does not exist it is an error. + +=item B<-extfile filename> + +file containing certificate extensions to use. If not specified then +no extensions are added to the certificate. + +=item B<-extensions section> + +the section to add certificate extensions from. If this option is not +specified then the extensions should either be contained in the unnamed +(default) section or the default section should contain a variable called +"extensions" which contains the section to use. + +=back + +=head2 NAME OPTIONS + +The B<nameopt> command line switch determines how the subject and issuer +names are displayed. If no B<nameopt> switch is present the default "oneline" +format is used which is compatible with previous versions of OpenSSL. +Each option is described in detail below, all options can be preceded by +a B<-> to turn the option off. Only the first four will normally be used. + +=over 4 + +=item B<compat> + +use the old format. This is equivalent to specifying no name options at all. + +=item B<RFC2253> + +displays names compatible with RFC2253 equivalent to B<esc_2253>, B<esc_ctrl>, +B<esc_msb>, B<utf8>, B<dump_nostr>, B<dump_unknown>, B<dump_der>, +B<sep_comma_plus>, B<dn_rev> and B<sname>. + +=item B<oneline> + +a oneline format which is more readable than RFC2253. It is equivalent to +specifying the B<esc_2253>, B<esc_ctrl>, B<esc_msb>, B<utf8>, B<dump_nostr>, +B<dump_der>, B<use_quote>, B<sep_comma_plus_space>, B<space_eq> and B<sname> +options. + +=item B<multiline> + +a multiline format. It is equivalent B<esc_ctrl>, B<esc_msb>, B<sep_multiline>, +B<space_eq>, B<lname> and B<align>. + +=item B<esc_2253> + +escape the "special" characters required by RFC2253 in a field That is +B<,+"E<lt>E<gt>;>. Additionally B<#> is escaped at the beginning of a string +and a space character at the beginning or end of a string. + +=item B<esc_ctrl> + +escape control characters. That is those with ASCII values less than +0x20 (space) and the delete (0x7f) character. They are escaped using the +RFC2253 \XX notation (where XX are two hex digits representing the +character value). + +=item B<esc_msb> + +escape characters with the MSB set, that is with ASCII values larger than +127. + +=item B<use_quote> + +escapes some characters by surrounding the whole string with B<"> characters, +without the option all escaping is done with the B<\> character. + +=item B<utf8> + +convert all strings to UTF8 format first. This is required by RFC2253. If +you are lucky enough to have a UTF8 compatible terminal then the use +of this option (and B<not> setting B<esc_msb>) may result in the correct +display of multibyte (international) characters. Is this option is not +present then multibyte characters larger than 0xff will be represented +using the format \UXXXX for 16 bits and \WXXXXXXXX for 32 bits. +Also if this option is off any UTF8Strings will be converted to their +character form first. + +=item B<no_type> + +this option does not attempt to interpret multibyte characters in any +way. That is their content octets are merely dumped as though one octet +represents each character. This is useful for diagnostic purposes but +will result in rather odd looking output. + +=item B<show_type> + +show the type of the ASN1 character string. The type precedes the +field contents. For example "BMPSTRING: Hello World". + +=item B<dump_der> + +when this option is set any fields that need to be hexdumped will +be dumped using the DER encoding of the field. Otherwise just the +content octets will be displayed. Both options use the RFC2253 +B<#XXXX...> format. + +=item B<dump_nostr> + +dump non character string types (for example OCTET STRING) if this +option is not set then non character string types will be displayed +as though each content octet represents a single character. + +=item B<dump_all> + +dump all fields. This option when used with B<dump_der> allows the +DER encoding of the structure to be unambiguously determined. + +=item B<dump_unknown> + +dump any field whose OID is not recognised by OpenSSL. + +=item B<sep_comma_plus>, B<sep_comma_plus_space>, B<sep_semi_plus_space>, +B<sep_multiline> + +these options determine the field separators. The first character is +between RDNs and the second between multiple AVAs (multiple AVAs are +very rare and their use is discouraged). The options ending in +"space" additionally place a space after the separator to make it +more readable. The B<sep_multiline> uses a linefeed character for +the RDN separator and a spaced B<+> for the AVA separator. It also +indents the fields by four characters. + +=item B<dn_rev> + +reverse the fields of the DN. This is required by RFC2253. As a side +effect this also reverses the order of multiple AVAs but this is +permissible. + +=item B<nofname>, B<sname>, B<lname>, B<oid> + +these options alter how the field name is displayed. B<nofname> does +not display the field at all. B<sname> uses the "short name" form +(CN for commonName for example). B<lname> uses the long form. +B<oid> represents the OID in numerical form and is useful for +diagnostic purpose. + +=item B<align> + +align field values for a more readable output. Only usable with +B<sep_multiline>. + +=item B<space_eq> + +places spaces round the B<=> character which follows the field +name. + +=back + +=head2 TEXT OPTIONS + +As well as customising the name output format, it is also possible to +customise the actual fields printed using the B<certopt> options when +the B<text> option is present. The default behaviour is to print all fields. + +=over 4 + +=item B<compatible> + +use the old format.

Because of the nature of message +digests the fingerprint of a certificate is unique to that certificate and +two certificates with the same fingerprint can be considered to be the same. + +The Netscape fingerprint uses MD5 whereas MSIE uses SHA1. + +The B<-email> option searches the subject name and the subject alternative +name extension. Only unique email addresses will be printed out: it will +not print the same address more than once. + +=head1 CERTIFICATE EXTENSIONS + +The B<-purpose> option checks the certificate extensions and determines +what the certificate can be used for. The actual checks done are rather +complex and include various hacks and workarounds to handle broken +certificates and software. + +The same code is used when verifying untrusted certificates in chains +so this section is useful if a chain is rejected by the verify code. + +The basicConstraints extension CA flag is used to determine whether the +certificate can be used as a CA. If the CA flag is true then it is a CA, +if the CA flag is false then it is not a CA. B<All> CAs should have the +CA flag set to true. + +If the basicConstraints extension is absent then the certificate is +considered to be a "possible CA" other extensions are checked according +to the intended use of the certificate. A warning is given in this case +because the certificate should really not be regarded as a CA: however +it is allowed to be a CA to work around some broken software. + +If the certificate is a V1 certificate (and thus has no extensions) and +it is self signed it is also assumed to be a CA but a warning is again +given: this is to work around the problem of Verisign roots which are V1 +self signed certificates. + +If the keyUsage extension is present then additional restraints are +made on the uses of the certificate. A CA certificate B<must> have the +keyCertSign bit set if the keyUsage extension is present. + +The extended key usage extension places additional restrictions on the +certificate uses. If this extension is present (whether critical or not) +the key can only be used for the purposes specified. + +A complete description of each test is given below.

Each line of the extension section takes the form: + + extension_name=[critical,] extension_options + +If B<critical> is present then the extension will be critical. + +The format of B<extension_options> depends on the value of B<extension_name>. + +There are four main types of extension: I<string> extensions, I<multi-valued> +extensions, I<raw> and I<arbitrary> extensions. + +String extensions simply have a string which contains either the value itself +or how it is obtained. + +For example: + + nsComment="This is a Comment" + +Multi-valued extensions have a short form and a long form. The short form +is a list of names and values: + + basicConstraints=critical,CA:true,pathlen:1 + +The long form allows the values to be placed in a separate section: + + basicConstraints=critical,@bs_section + + [bs_section] + + CA=true + pathlen=1 + +Both forms are equivalent. + +The syntax of raw extensions is governed by the extension code: it can +for example contain data in multiple sections. The correct syntax to +use is defined by the extension code itself: check out the certificate +policies extension for an example. + +If an extension type is unsupported then the I<arbitrary> extension syntax +must be used, see the L<ARBITRART EXTENSIONS|/"ARBITRARY EXTENSIONS"> section for more details. + +=head1 STANDARD EXTENSIONS + +The following sections describe each supported extension in detail. + +=head2 Basic Constraints. + +This is a multi valued extension which indicates whether a certificate is +a CA certificate. The first (mandatory) name is B<CA> followed by B<TRUE> or +B<FALSE>. If B<CA> is B<TRUE> then an optional B<pathlen> name followed by an +non-negative value can be included. + +For example: + + basicConstraints=CA:TRUE + + basicConstraints=CA:FALSE + + basicConstraints=critical,CA:TRUE, pathlen:0 + +A CA certificate B<must> include the basicConstraints value with the CA field +set to TRUE. An end user certificate must either set CA to FALSE or exclude the +extension entirely. Some software may require the inclusion of basicConstraints +with CA set to FALSE for end entity certificates. + +The pathlen parameter indicates the maximum number of CAs that can appear +below this one in a chain. So if you have a CA with a pathlen of zero it can +only be used to sign end user certificates and not further CAs. + + +=head2 Key Usage. + +Key usage is a multi valued extension consisting of a list of names of the +permitted key usages. + +The supporte names are: digitalSignature, nonRepudiation, keyEncipherment, +dataEncipherment, keyAgreement, keyCertSign, cRLSign, encipherOnly +and decipherOnly. + +Examples: + + keyUsage=digitalSignature, nonRepudiation + + keyUsage=critical, keyCertSign + + +=head2 Extended Key Usage. + +This extensions consists of a list of usages indicating purposes for which +the certificate public key can be used for, + +These can either be object short names of the dotted numerical form of OIDs. +While any OID can be used only certain values make sense. In particular the +following PKIX, NS and MS values are meaningful: + + Value Meaning + ----- ------- + serverAuth SSL/TLS Web Server Authentication. + clientAuth SSL/TLS Web Client Authentication. + codeSigning Code signing. + emailProtection E-mail Protection (S/MIME). + timeStamping Trusted Timestamping + msCodeInd Microsoft Individual Code Signing (authenticode) + msCodeCom Microsoft Commercial Code Signing (authenticode) + msCTLSign Microsoft Trust List Signing + msSGC Microsoft Server Gated Crypto + msEFS Microsoft Encrypted File System + nsSGC Netscape Server Gated Crypto + +Examples: + + extendedKeyUsage=critical,codeSigning,1.2.3.4 + extendedKeyUsage=nsSGC,msSGC + + +=head2 Subject Key Identifier. + +This is really a string extension and can take two possible values. Either +the word B<hash> which will automatically follow the guidelines in RFC3280 +or a hex string giving the extension value to include. The use of the hex +string is strongly discouraged. + +Example: + + subjectKeyIdentifier=hash + + +=head2 Authority Key Identifier. + +The authority key identifier extension permits two options. keyid and issuer: +both can take the optional value "always". + +If the keyid option is present an attempt is made to copy the subject key +identifier from the parent certificate. If the value "always" is present +then an error is returned if the option fails. + +The issuer option copies the issuer and serial number from the issuer +certificate. This will only be done if the keyid option fails or +is not included unless the "always" flag will always include the value. + +Example: + + authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid,issuer + + +=head2 Subject Alternative Name. + +The subject alternative name extension allows various literal values to be +included in the configuration file. These include B<email> (an email address) +B<URI> a uniform resource indicator, B<DNS> (a DNS domain name), B<RID> (a +registered ID: OBJECT IDENTIFIER), B<IP> (an IP address), B<dirName> +(a distinguished name) and otherName. + +The email option include a special 'copy' value. This will automatically +include and email addresses contained in the certificate subject name in +the extension. + +The IP address used in the B<IP> options can be in either IPv4 or IPv6 format. + +The value of B<dirName> should point to a section containing the distinguished +name to use as a set of name value pairs. Multi values AVAs can be formed by +preceeding the name with a B<+> character. + +otherName can include arbitrary data associated with an OID: the value +should be the OID followed by a semicolon and the content in standard +ASN1_generate_nconf() format. + +Examples: + + subjectAltName=email:copy,email:my@other.address,URI:http://my.url.here/ + subjectAltName=IP:192.168.7.1 + subjectAltName=IP:13::17 + subjectAltName=email:my@other.address,RID:1.2.3.4 + subjectAltName=otherName:1.2.3.4;UTF8:some other identifier + + subjectAltName=dirName:dir_sect + + [dir_sect] + C=UK + O=My Organization + OU=My Unit + CN=My Name + + +=head2 Issuer Alternative Name. + +The issuer alternative name option supports all the literal options of +subject alternative name. It does B<not> support the email:copy option because +that would not make sense. It does support an additional issuer:copy option +that will copy all the subject alternative name values from the issuer +certificate (if possible). + +Example: + + issuserAltName = issuer:copy + + +=head2 Authority Info Access. + +The authority information access extension gives details about how to access +certain information relating to the CA. Its syntax is accessOID;location +where I<location> has the same syntax as subject alternative name (except +that email:copy is not supported). accessOID can be any valid OID but only +certain values are meaningful, for example OCSP and caIssuers. + +Example: + + authorityInfoAccess = OCSP;URI:http://ocsp.my.host/ + authorityInfoAccess = caIssuers;URI:http://my.ca/ca.html + + +=head2 CRL distribution points. + +This is a multi-valued extension that supports all the literal options of +subject alternative name. Of the few software packages that currently interpret +this extension most only interpret the URI option. + +Currently each option will set a new DistributionPoint with the fullName +field set to the given value. + +Other fields like cRLissuer and reasons cannot currently be set or displayed: +at this time no examples were available that used these fields. + +Examples: + + crlDistributionPoints=URI:http://myhost.com/myca.crl + crlDistributionPoints=URI:http://my.com/my.crl,URI:http://oth.com/my.crl + +=head2 Certificate Policies. + +This is a I<raw> extension. All the fields of this extension can be set by +using the appropriate syntax. + +If you follow the PKIX recommendations and just using one OID then you just +include the value of that OID. Multiple OIDs can be set separated by commas, +for example: + + certificatePolicies= 1.2.4.5, 1.1.3.4 + +If you wish to include qualifiers then the policy OID and qualifiers need to +be specified in a separate section: this is done by using the @section syntax +instead of a literal OID value. + +The section referred to must include the policy OID using the name +policyIdentifier, cPSuri qualifiers can be included using the syntax: + + CPS.nnn=value + +userNotice qualifiers can be set using the syntax: + + userNotice.nnn=@notice + +The value of the userNotice qualifier is specified in the relevant section. +This section can include explicitText, organization and noticeNumbers +options. explicitText and organization are text strings, noticeNumbers is a +comma separated list of numbers. The organization and noticeNumbers options +(if included) must BOTH be present. If you use the userNotice option with IE5 +then you need the 'ia5org' option at the top level to modify the encoding: +otherwise it will not be interpreted properly. + +Example: + + certificatePolicies=ia5org,1.2.3.4,1.5.6.7.8,@polsect + + [polsect] + + policyIdentifier = 1.3.5.8 + CPS.1="http://my.host.name/" + CPS.2="http://my.your.name/" + userNotice.1=@notice + + [notice] + + explicitText="Explicit Text Here" + organization="Organisation Name" + noticeNumbers=1,2,3,4 + +The B<ia5org> option changes the type of the I<organization> field. In RFC2459 +it can only be of type DisplayText. In RFC3280 IA5Strring is also permissible. +Some software (for example some versions of MSIE) may require ia5org. + +=head2 Policy Constraints + +This is a multi-valued extension which consisting of the names +B<requireExplicitPolicy> or B<inhibitPolicyMapping> and a non negative intger +value. At least one component must be present. + +Example: + + policyConstraints = requireExplicitPolicy:3 + + +=head2 Inhibit Any Policy + +This is a string extension whose value must be a non negative integer. + +Example: + + inhibitAnyPolicy = 2 + + +=head2 Name Constraints + +The name constraints extension is a multi-valued extension. The name should +begin with the word B<permitted> or B<excluded> followed by a B<;>. The rest of +the name and the value follows the syntax of subjectAltName except email:copy +is not supported and the B<IP> form should consist of an IP addresses and +subnet mask separated by a B</>. + +Examples: + + nameConstraints=permitted;IP:192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0 + + nameConstraints=permitted;email:.somedomain.com + + nameConstraints=excluded;email:.com + +=head1 DEPRECATED EXTENSIONS + +The following extensions are non standard, Netscape specific and largely +obsolete. Their use in new applications is discouraged. + +=head2 Netscape String extensions. + +Netscape Comment (B<nsComment>) is a string extension containing a comment +which will be displayed when the certificate is viewed in some browsers. + +Example: + + nsComment = "Some Random Comment" + +Other supported extensions in this category are: B<nsBaseUrl>, +B<nsRevocationUrl>, B<nsCaRevocationUrl>, B<nsRenewalUrl>, B<nsCaPolicyUrl> +and B<nsSslServerName>. + + +=head2 Netscape Certificate Type + +This is a multi-valued extensions which consists of a list of flags to be +included. It was used to indicate the purposes for which a certificate could +be used. The basicConstraints, keyUsage and extended key usage extensions are +now used instead. + +Acceptable values for nsCertType are: B<client>, B<server>, B<email>, +B<objsign>, B<reserved>, B<sslCA>, B<emailCA>, B<objCA>. + + +=head1 ARBITRARY EXTENSIONS + +If an extension is not supported by the OpenSSL code then it must be encoded +using the arbitrary extension format. It is also possible to use the arbitrary +format for supported extensions. Extreme care should be taken to ensure that +the data is formatted correctly for the given extension type. + +There are two ways to encode arbitrary extensions. + +The first way is to use the word ASN1 followed by the extension content +using the same syntax as ASN1_generate_nconf(). For example: + + 1.2.3.4=critical,ASN1:UTF8String:Some random data + + 1.2.3.4=ASN1:SEQUENCE:seq_sect + + [seq_sect] + + field1 = UTF8:field1 + field2 = UTF8:field2 + +It is also possible to use the word DER to include the raw encoded data in any +extension. + + 1.2.3.4=critical,DER:01:02:03:04 + 1.2.3.4=DER:01020304 + +The value following DER is a hex dump of the DER encoding of the extension +Any extension can be placed in this form to override the default behaviour. +For example: + + basicConstraints=critical,DER:00:01:02:03 + +=head1 WARNING + +There is no guarantee that a specific implementation will process a given +extension. It may therefore be sometimes possible to use certificates for +purposes prohibited by their extensions because a specific application does +not recognize or honour the values of the relevant extensions. + +The DER and ASN1 options should be used with caution. It is possible to create +totally invalid extensions if they are not used carefully. + + +=head1 NOTES + +If an extension is multi-value and a field value must contain a comma the long +form must be used otherwise the comma would be misinterpreted as a field +separator. For example: + + subjectAltName=URI:ldap://somehost.com/CN=foo,OU=bar + +will produce an error but the equivalent form: + + subjectAltName=@subject_alt_section + + [subject_alt_section] + subjectAltName=URI:ldap://somehost.com/CN=foo,OU=bar + +is valid. + +Due to the behaviour of the OpenSSL B<conf> library the same field name +can only occur once in a section. This means that: + + subjectAltName=@alt_section + + [alt_section] + + email=steve@here + email=steve@there + +will only recognize the last value. This can be worked around by using the form: + + [alt_section] + + email.1=steve@here + email.2=steve@there + +=head1 HISTORY + +The X509v3 extension code was first added to OpenSSL 0.9.2. + +Policy mappings, inhibit any policy and name constraints support was added in +OpenSSL 0.9.8 + +The B<directoryName> and B<otherName> option as well as the B<ASN1> option +for arbitrary extensions was added in OpenSSL 0.9.8 + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<req(1)|req(1)>, L<ca(1)|ca(1)>, L<x509(1)|x509(1)> + + +=cut |
