NAME

       xca - X Certificate and key management
       A  GUI  for  handling  X509  certificates,  RSA/DSA/EC keys, PKCS#10 Requests and CRLs in Software and on
       Smartcards.

SYNOPSIS

       xca [-v] [-d] [-x]

DESCRIPTION

       This application is intended as CA, certificate- and Key store. It uses a single file to store the items.
       Supported  are  Certificate  signing  requests (PKCS#10), Certificates (X509v3), RSA, DSA and EC keys and
       Certificate revokation lists.  The signing of requests, and the creation of  selfsigned  certificates  is
       supported.  Both  can  use  templates for simplicity.  The PKI structures can be imported and exported in
       several formats like PKCS#12, PEM, DER, PKCS#8, PKCS#7.
       XCA enables users to manage smartcards via the PKCS#11 interface

OPTIONS

       A summary of options are included below.  There are some deprecated legacy options: [-k] [-r]  [-c]  [-p]
       [-7] [-l] [-t] [-P]
       Before  XCA  0.9.0,  the  type  of  the items had to be given. This was removed since. Just put all keys,
       certs, requests and the database unsorted on the commandline. For backwards compatibility  those  options
       are ignored when found.

       -v     Show version information and exit.

       -d     expect the following argument to be a new database to use.

       -x     Exit after processing all commandline options.  Usually after importing the items from commandline
              the application will startup as usual. With the -x option given it will exit after  finishing  the
              import dialog. This is useful if xca is used as default application for viewing certificates, keys
              or requests.
