SYNOPSIS
certreq [-b] [-h [-L virtual_host]] [-s | -v] [output_file]
AVAILABILITY

DESCRIPTION
The certreq utility generates a certification request. Cer-
tification requests are typically sent to a certification
authority (CA), who transforms the request to an X.509
public-key certificate.
The generated certification request is formatted according
to the PKCS #10 standard. It consists of an X.500 dis-
tinguished name, a public key, and a set of attributes, col-
lectively signed by the entity requesting certification. The
generated certification request is output in printable
encoding (as defined by the Internet RFC1421 standard).
This command may also be called by a CA who has generated
its own key package (and self-signed certificate) using the
crca(1) command, and would like to get its public key certi-
fied by some "third-party" or "external" CA.
The requestor's identity (X.500 distinguished name) and pub-
lic key information are obtained from his or her key package
which is retrieved from the configured name service, such as
NIS or NIS+.
The certification request is digitally signed using the
user's private key and MD5WithRSAEncryption as the signature
algorithm.
In order to generate a certification request on behalf of a
host, the -h option must be specified. If the host is a vir-
tual host, then its name or dot separated IP address must be
supplied with the -L option.
The generated certification request is stored in
output_file. If output_file already exists, it is overwrit-
ten. If no output file is given, the certification request
is printed to stdout.
certreq requires that the user has already registered his or
her private key with the SKI keyserver (see skilogin(1)).
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-b Bound the generated certification request at the begin-
ning by
"-----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----"
and bound it at the end by
"-----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----".
-h Generate a certification request for the host.
-L virtual_host
Generate a certification request for the virtual host
whose name or the dot separated IP address is specified
through virtual_host.
-s Run application silently (no status or error informa-
tion displayed).
-v Give verbose output. If both the -v and the -s options
are specified, the -v option is ignored.
EXIT STATUS
The certreq command exits with 0 if successful and 1 other-
wise.
