Description

This pki subcommand generates an X.509 certificate revocation list (CRL) signed by a CA private key.

Options

--cacert      (-c)  CA certificate file
--cakey       (-k)  CA private key file
--cakeyid     (-x)  smartcard or TPM CA private key object handle
--lifetime    (-l)  days the CRL gets a nextUpdate, default: 15
--not-before  (-F)  absolute time when the validity of the CRL begins
--not-after   (-T)  absolute time when the validity of the CRL ends
--dateform    (-D)  strptime(3) format for the --not-before and --not-after options, default: %d.%m.%y %T
--lastcrl     (-a)  CRL of lastUpdate to copy revocations from
--basecrl     (-b)  base CRL to create a delta CRL for
--crluri      (-u)  freshest delta CRL URI to include
--cert        (-z)  certificate file to revoke
--serial      (-s)  hex encoded certificate serial number to revoke
--reason      (-r)  reason for certificate revocation
--date        (-d)  revocation date as unix timestamp, default: now
--digest      (-g)  digest for signature creation, default: key-specific
--rsa-padding (-R)  padding for RSA signatures, default: pkcs1
--outform     (-f)  encoding of generated crl, default: der
--debug       (-v)  set debug level, default: 1
--options     (-+)  read command line options from file
--help        (-h)  show usage information

Examples

  • Revoke a certificate

pki --signcrl --cacert caCert.der --cakey caKey.der --reason superseded --cert peerCert.der > crl.der
  • Update an existing CRL with two new revocations, using the certificates serial, but no reason

pki --signcrl --cacert caCert.der --cakey caKey.der --lastcrl crl1.der --serial 0123 --serial 0345 > crl2.der
