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
              Smartcard  or  TPM  CA  private key object handle in hex format with an optional 0x prefix. 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. Ignored if both an absolute start and end  time
              are given.

       -F, --this-update datetime
              Absolute  time  when  the  validity  of  the  CRL  begins.  The  datetime format is defined by the
              --dateform option.

       -T, --next-update datetime
              Absolute time when the validity of the CRL end. The datetime format is defined by  the  --dateform
              option.

       -D, --dateform form
              strptime(3) format for the --this-update and --next-update options, default: %d.%m.%y %T

       -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.  The
              default is determined based on the type and size of the signature key.

       -R, --rsa-padding padding
              Padding to use for RSA signatures. Either pkcs1 or pss, defaults to pkcs1.

       -X, --critical oid
              Add a critical extension with the given OID.

       -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
