SYNOPSIS

       pki [CLI-options] pkcs12
       pki [CLI-options] pkcs12-export [command-options]
       pki [CLI-options] pkcs12-import [command-options]

DESCRIPTION

       The  pki pkcs12 commands provide command-line interfaces to manage certificate and keys in
       a PKCS #12 file.

       pki [CLI-options] pkcs12-export [command-options]
           This command is to export all certificates and keys from an NSS database into  a  PKCS
       #12 file.

       pki [CLI-options] pkcs12-import [command-options]
           This  command  is to import all certificates and keys from a PKCS #12 file into an NSS
       database.

       pki [CLI-options] pkcs12-cert [command-options]
           This  command  is  to  manage  individual  certificates  in  a  PKCS  #12  file.   See
       pki-pkcs12-cert(1).

       pki [CLI-options] pkcs12-key [command-options]
           This command is to import individual keys in a PKCS #12 file. See pki-pkcs12-key(1).

OPTIONS

       The CLI options are described in pki(1).

OPERATIONS

       To  view available PKCS #12 commands, type pki pkcs12.  To view each command's usage, type
       pki pkcs12-<command> --help.

       All pki pkcs12 commands require a PKCS #12 file and its password.  The PKCS #12  file  can
       be  specified  with  the  --pkcs12-file  parameter.   The password can be specified either
       directly   with   the   --pkcs12-password   parameter,   or   in   a   file    with    the
       --pkcs12-password-file parameter.

       Some  pki  pkcs12  commands  require  an  NSS database and its password.  The NSS database
       location can be specified with the -d  parameter  (default:    /.dogtag/nssdb).   The  NSS
       database password can be specified with the -c or the -C parameter.

   Exporting all certificates and keys into a PKCS #12 file
       To export all certificates and keys from an NSS database into a PKCS #12 file:

              $ pki <NSS database location> <NSS database password> pkcs12-export \
                  <PKCS #12 file> <PKCS #12 password> [nicknames...]

       By  default  the  command  will  export  all  certificates in the NSS database.  To export
       certain certificates only, specify the certificate nicknames as separate arguments.

       By default the command will always create a new PKCS #12 file.  To export into an existing
       PKCS #12 file, specify the --append parameter.

       By  default the command will include the certificate chain.  To export without certificate
       chain, specify the --no-chain parameter.

       By default the command will include the key of each certificate.  To  export  without  the
       key, specify the --no-key parameter.

       By  default  the  command  will  include  the  trust flags of each certificate.  To export
       without the trust flags, specify the --no-trust-flags parameter.

   Importing certificates and keys from a PKCS #12 file
       To import certificates and keys from a PKCS #12 file into an NSS database:

              $ pki <NSS database location> <NSS database password> pkcs12-import \
                  <PKCS #12 file> <PKCS #12 password>

       By default the command will include all certificates in the  PKCS  #12  file.   To  import
       without  the  CA  certificates  (certificates  without  keys),  specify  the --no-ca-certs
       parameter.  To import without the user certificates (certificates with keys), specify  the
       --no-user-certs parameter.

       By  default  the command will skip a certificate if it already exists in the NSS database.
       To overwrite the nickname, the key, and the trust flags of existing certificates,  specify
       the --overwrite parameter.

       By  default  the  command  will  include  the  trust flags of each certificate.  To import
       without the trust flags, specify the --no-trust-flags parameter.
