 CRL2PKCS7(1)                 OpenSSL                 CRL2PKCS7(1)
 
 
 
 NAME
        crl2pkcs7 - Create a PKCS#7 structure from a CRL and
        certificates.
 
 SYNOPSIS
        openssl pkcs7 [-inform PEM|DER] [-outform PEM|DER] [-in
        filename] [-out filename] [-print_certs]
 
 DESCRIPTION
        The crl2pkcs7 command takes an optional CRL and one or
        more certificates and converts them into a PKCS#7
        degenerate "certificates only" structure.
 
 COMMAND OPTIONS
        -inform DER|PEM
            This specifies the CRL input format. DER format is DER
            encoded CRL structure.PEM (the default) is a base64
            encoded version of the DER form with header and footer
            lines.
 
        -outform DER|PEM
            This specifies the PKCS#7 structure output format. DER
            format is DER encoded PKCS#7 structure.PEM (the
            default) is a base64 encoded version of the DER form
            with header and footer lines.
 
        -in filename
            This specifies the input filename to read a CRL from
            or standard input if this option is not specified.
 
        -out filename
            specifies the output filename to write the PKCS#7
            structure to or standard output by default.
 
        -certfile filename
            specifies a filename containing one or more
            certificates in PEM format.  All certificates in the
            file will be added to the PKCS#7 structure. This
            option can be used more than once to read certificates
            form multiple files.
 
        -nocrl
            normally a CRL is included in the output file. With
            this option no CRL is included in the output file and
            a CRL is not read from the input file.
 
 EXAMPLES
        Create a PKCS#7 structure from a certificate and CRL:
 
         openssl crl2pkcs7 -in crl.pem -certfile cert.pem -out p7.pem
 
        Creates a PKCS#7 structure in DER format with no CRL from
        several different certificates:
 
         openssl crl2pkcs7 -nocrl -certfile newcert.pem
                -certfile demoCA/cacert.pem -outform DER -out p7.der
 
 
 NOTES
        The output file is a PKCS#7 signed data structure
        containing no signers and just certificates and an
        optional CRL.
 
        This utility can be used to send certificates and CAs to
        Netscape as part of the certificate enrollment process.
        This involves sending the DER encoded output as MIME type
        application/x-x509-user-cert.
 
        The PEM encoded form with the header and footer lines
        removed can be used to install user certificates and CAs
        in MSIE using the Xenroll control.
