DESCRIPTION

       This sub-command of pki(1) is used to issue a Certificate Revocation List (CRL) using a CA
       certificate and private key.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Print usage information with a summary of the available options.

       -v, --debug level
              Set debug level, default: 1.

       -+, --options file
              Read command line options from file.

       -k, --cakey file
              CA private key file. Either this or --cakeyid is required.

       -x, --cakeyid hex
              Key ID of a CA private key on a smartcard. Either this or --cakey is required.

       -c, --cacert file
              CA certificate file. Required.

       -l, --lifetime days
              Days until the CRL gets a nextUpdate, default: 15.

       -a, --lastcrl crl
              CRL of lastUpdate to copy revocations from.

       -b, --basecrl crl
              Base CRL to create a delta CRL for.

       -u, --crluri uri
              Freshest delta CRL URI to include in CRL. Can be used multiple times.

       -g, --digest digest
              Digest  to use for signature creation. One of md5, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, or
              sha512. Defaults to sha1.

       -f, --outform encoding
              Encoding of the created certificate file. Either der (ASN.1  DER)  or  pem  (Base64
              PEM), defaults to der.

   Revoked Certificates
       Multiple  revoked certificates can be added to the CRL by either providing the certificate
       file or the respective serial number directly.  A reason and a timestamp can be configured
       for  each  revocation (they have to be given before each certificate/serial on the command
       line).

       -r, --reason reason
              The reason why the certificate was revoked. One of  key-compromise,  ca-compromise,
              affiliation-changed, superseded, cessation-of-operation, or certificate-hold.

       -d, --date ts
              Revocation date as Unix timestamp. Defaults to the current time.

       -z, --cert file
              Certificate file to revoke.

       -s, --serial hex
              Hexadecimal encoded serial number of the certificate to revoke.

EXAMPLES

       Revoke a certificate:

         pki --signcrl --cacert ca_cert.der --cakey ca_key.der \
             --reason superseded --cert cert.der > crl.der

       Update  an  existing  CRL with two new revocations, using the certificate's serial number,
       but no reason:

         pki --signcrl --cacert ca_cert.der --cakey ca_key.der \
             --lastcrl old_crl.der --serial 0123 --serial 0345 > crl.der
