NAME
xca - X Certificate and key management A GUI for handling X509 certificates, RSA/DSA/EC keys, PKCS#10 Requests and CRLs in Software and on Smartcards. SYNOPSIS
xca [-v] [-d] [-x] DESCRIPTION
This application is intended as CA, certificate- and Key store. It uses a single file to store the items. Supported are Certificate sign- ing requests (PKCS#10), Certificates (X509v3), RSA, DSA and EC keys and Certificate revokation lists. The signing of requests, and the creation of selfsigned certificates is supported. Both can use templates for simplicity. The PKI structures can be imported and exported in several formats like PKCS#12, PEM, DER, PKCS#8, PKCS#7. XCA enables users to manage smartcards via the PKCS#11 interface OPTIONS
A summary of options are included below. There are some deprecated legacy options: [-k] [-r] [-c] [-p] [-7] [-l] [-t] [-P] Before XCA 0.9.0, the type of the items had to be given. This was removed since. Just put all keys, certs, requests and the database unsorted on the commandline. For backwards compatibility those options are ignored when found. -v Show version information and exit. -d expect the following argument to be a new database to use. -x Exit after processing all commandline options. Usually after importing the items from commandline the application will startup as usual. With the -x option given it will exit after finishing the import dialog. This is useful if xca is used as default application for viewing certificates, keys or requests. SEE ALSO
A more detailed HTML documentation can be found in the doc directory, in the "Help" menu of the application or on http://xca.sf.net AUTHOR

NAME
tpmtoken_import - import an X.509 certficate and/or an RSA key pair into the user's TPM PKCS#11 data store SYNOPSIS
tpmtoken_import [ OPTION ] FILE DESCRIPTION
tpmtoken_import imports a PEM formatted representation of an X.509 certificate and/or an RSA key contained in FILE. Importing an X.509 certificate creates an X.509 Public Key Certificate PKCS#11 object and also an RSA Public Key PKCS#11 object using the RSA public key contained in the certificate. The certificate's key must be an RSA key in order for the certificate to be successfully processed by this command. Importing an RSA key creates an RSA Public Key and an RSA Private Key PKCS#11 object. In order to associate the RSA PKCS#11 objects with an X.509 Public Key Certificate PKCS#11 object, the RSA PKCS#11 objects must have a subject name and key identifier associated with them. This can be accomplished by supplying the corresponding X.509 certificate as an optional command parameter. The input can contain PEM formatted representations of both an X.509 certificate and an RSA key. If both representations are present then an X.509 Public Key Certificate PKCS#11 object, an RSA Public Key PKCS#11 object and an RSA Private Key PKCS#11 object are created. -h, --help Display command usage info. -v, --version Display command version info. -l, --log [none|error|info|debug] Set logging level. -i, --idfile FILE Use FILE as the PEM formatted X.509 certificate input used to obtain the subject and id attributes -k, --token STRING Use STRING to identify the label of the PKCS#11 token to be used -n, --name STRING Use STRING as the label for the imported object(s) -p, --public Import the object(s) as a public object -t, --type key|cert Import only the specified object type -y, --yes Assume an answer of yes for any confirmation prompts that would normally be asked SEE ALSO
