DESCRIPTION

This sub-command of pki(1) is used to issue a Certificate Revocation List (CRL) using a CA certificate and private key.

OPTIONS

Print usage information with a summary of the available options.
Set debug level, default: 1.
-+, --options file
Read command line options from file.
CA private key file. Either this or --cakeyid is required.
Smartcard or TPM CA private key object handle in hex format with an optional 0x prefix. Either this or --cakey is required.
CA certificate file. Required.
Days until the CRL gets a nextUpdate, default: 15. Ignored if both an absolute start and end time are given.
Absolute time when the validity of the CRL begins. The datetime format is defined by the --dateform option.
Absolute time when the validity of the CRL end. The datetime format is defined by the --dateform option.
strptime(3) format for the --this-update and --next-update options, default: %d.%m.%y %T
CRL of lastUpdate to copy revocations from.
Base CRL to create a delta CRL for.
Freshest delta CRL URI to include in CRL. Can be used multiple times.
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.
Encoding of the created certificate file. Either der (ASN.1 DER) or pem (Base64 PEM), defaults to der.

Revoked Certificates

Multiple revoked certificates can be added to the CRL by either providing the certificate file or the respective serial number directly. A reason and a timestamp can be configured for each revocation (they have to be given before each certificate/serial on the command line).

The reason why the certificate was revoked. One of key-compromise, ca-compromise, affiliation-changed, superseded, cessation-of-operation, or certificate-hold.
Revocation date as Unix timestamp. Defaults to the current time.
Certificate file to revoke.
Hexadecimal encoded serial number of the certificate to revoke.

EXAMPLES

Revoke a certificate:



  pki --signcrl --cacert ca_cert.der --cakey ca_key.der \


      --reason superseded --cert cert.der > crl.der

Update an existing CRL with two new revocations, using the certificate's serial number, but no reason:



  pki --signcrl --cacert ca_cert.der --cakey ca_key.der \


      --lastcrl old_crl.der --serial 0123 --serial 0345 > crl.der
