NAME

crl - CRL utility

SYNOPSIS

openssl crl [-inform PEM|DER] [-outform PEM|DER] [-text] [-in filename] [-out filename] [-nameopt option] [-noout] [-hash] [-issuer] [-lastupdate] [-nextupdate] [-CAfile file] [-CApath dir]

DESCRIPTION

The crl command processes CRL files in DER or PEM format.

COMMAND OPTIONS

-inform DER|PEM This specifies the 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 output format, the options have the same meaning as the -inform option. -in filename This specifies the input filename to read from or standard input if this option is not specified. -out filename specifies the output filename to write to or standard output by default. -text print out the CRL in text form. -nameopt option option which determines how the subject or issuer names are displayed. See the description of -nameopt in x509(1). -noout don't output the encoded version of the CRL. -hash output a hash of the issuer name. This can be use to lookup CRLs in a directory by issuer name. -hash_old outputs the "hash" of the CRL issuer name using the older algorithm as used by OpenSSL versions before 1.0.0. -issuer output the issuer name. -lastupdate output the lastUpdate field. -nextupdate output the nextUpdate field. -CAfile file verify the signature on a CRL by looking up the issuing certificate in file -CApath dir verify the signature on a CRL by looking up the issuing certificate in dir. This directory must be a standard certificate directory: that is a hash of each subject name (using x509 -hash) should be linked to each certificate.

NOTES

The PEM CRL format uses the header and footer lines: -----BEGIN X509 CRL----- -----END X509 CRL-----

EXAMPLES

Convert a CRL file from PEM to DER: openssl crl -in crl.pem -outform DER -out crl.der Output the text form of a DER encoded certificate: openssl crl -in crl.der -text -noout

BUGS

Ideally it should be possible to create a CRL using appropriate options and files too.
