NAME
PrettyPrintCert - print the contents of a certificate stored as ASCII base-64 encoded
data to a readable format.
SYNOPSIS
PrettyPrintCert [-simpleinfo] <input_file> [output_file]
DESCRIPTION
The PrettyPrintCert command provides a command-line utility used to print the contents of
a certificate stored as ASCII base-64 encoded data to a readable format. The output of
this command is displayed to standard output, but can be optionally saved into a specified
file. An additional non-mandatory option is available which limits the certificate
information output of this command for easier parsing.
OPTIONS
[-simpleinfo]
Optional. Prints limited certificate information in an easy to parse format; if
this option is not specified, the entire contents of the certificate will be
printed.
<input_file>
Mandatory. Specifies the path to the file containing the ASCII base-64 encoded
certificate.
[output_file]
Optional. Specifies the path to the file in which the tool should write the
certificate. If this option is not specified, the certificate information is
written to the standard output.
EXAMPLES
The following example converts the ASCII base-64 encoded certificate in the
ascii_data.cert file and writes the certificate in the pretty-print form to the output
file cert.out:
PrettyPrintCert ascii_data.cert cert.out
For this example, the base-64 encoded certificate data in the ascii_data.cert looks like the following:

The following example command takes the same ASCII base-64 encoded certificate in the ascii_data.cert file and writes the information contained within the certificate to the simple format output file cert.simple:
PrettyPrintCert -simpleinfo ascii_data.cert cert.simple
The simple certificate information in the cert.simple output file looks like the following:
UID=admin
E=admin@example.com
CN=PrettyPrintCert Test Certificate
OU=IS
O=Example Corporation
C=US
