NAME

       grid-ca-package - Prepare a CA certificate, configuration, and policy for distribution

SYNOPSIS

       grid-ca-sign [-ca HASH] [-g] [-b] [-r] [-d]

       grid-ca-sign [ -help| -h| -usage| -version| -versions ]

DESCRIPTION

       The grid-ca-sign utility creates a tarball containing an RPM spec file and the files
       needed to use a CA with grid tools.

       By default, the grid-ca-sign utility displays a list of installed grid CA and prompts for
       which CA to package. It then creates a tarball containing the CA certificate, signing
       policy, CA configuration files, and an spec script to generate a binary RPM package
       containing the CA. If the CA hash is known prior to running grid-ca-sign, it may provided
       as an argument to the -ca parameter to avoid prompting.

       The grid-ca-sign utility writes the package tarballs to the current working directory.

OPTIONS

       The full set of command-line options to grid-ca-sign follows:

       -help, -h, -usage
           Display the command-line options to grid-ca-sign and exit.

       -version, -versions
           Display the version number of the grid-ca-sign command. The second form includes more
           details.

       -ca CA

           grid-ca-sign runs non-interactively.

       -r
           Create a binary RPM package for the CA. This option currently only works on RPM-based
           distributions.

       -d
           Create a binary Debian package for the CA. This option currently only works on
           Debian-based distributions.
