DESCRIPTION
This sub-command of pki(1) is used to issue a Certificate Revocation
List (CRL) using a CA certificate and private key.
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.
-k, --cakey file
CA private key file. Either this or --cakeyid is required.
-x, --cakeyid hex
Key ID of a CA private key on a smartcard. Either this or
--cakey is required.
-c, --cacert file
CA certificate file. Required.
-l, --lifetime days
Days until the CRL gets a nextUpdate, default: 15. Ignored if
both an absolute start and end time are given.
-F, --this-update datetime
Absolute time when the validity of the CRL begins. The datetime
format is defined by the --dateform option.
-T, --next-update datetime
Absolute time when the validity of the CRL end. The datetime
format is defined by the --dateform option.
-D, --dateform form
strptime(3) format for the --this-update and --next-update
options, default: %d.%m.%y %T
-a, --lastcrl crl
CRL of lastUpdate to copy revocations from.
-b, --basecrl crl
Base CRL to create a delta CRL for.
-u, --crluri uri
Freshest delta CRL URI to include in CRL. Can be used multiple
times.
-g, --digest digest
Digest to use for signature creation. One of md5, sha1, sha224,
sha256, sha384, or sha512. Defaults to sha1.
-f, --outform encoding
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 provid‐
ing 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).
-r, --reason reason
The reason why the certificate was revoked. One of key-compro‐
mise, ca-compromise, affiliation-changed, superseded, cessa‐
tion-of-operation, or certificate-hold.
-d, --date ts
Revocation date as Unix timestamp. Defaults to the current time.
-z, --cert file
Certificate file to revoke.
-s, --serial hex
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--reason superseded --cert cert.der 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 certifi‐
cate'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
