NAME¶

openssl-pkcs7 - PKCS#7 command

SYNOPSIS¶

openssl pkcs7 [-help] [-inform DER|PEM] [-outform DER|PEM] [-in filename] [-out filename] [-print] [-print_certs] [-text] [-noout] [-engine id] [-provider name] [-provider-path path] [-propquery propq]

DESCRIPTION¶

This command processes PKCS#7 files. Note that it only understands PKCS#7 v 1.5 as specified in IETF RFC 2315. It cannot currently parse CMS as described in IETF RFC 2630.

OPTIONS¶

-help
Print out a usage message.
-inform DER|PEM, -outform DER|PEM
The input and formats; the default is PEM. See openssl-format-options(1) for details.
The data is a PKCS#7 Version 1.5 structure.
-in filename
This specifies the input filename to read from or standard input if this option is not specified.
-out filename
Specifies the output filename to write to or standard output by default.
-print
Print out the full PKCS7 object.
-print_certs
Prints out any certificates or CRLs contained in the file. They are preceded by their subject and issuer names in one line format.
-text
Prints out certificate details in full rather than just subject and issuer names.
-noout
Don't output the encoded version of the PKCS#7 structure (or certificates if -print_certs is set).
-engine id
See "Engine Options" in openssl(1). This option is deprecated.
-provider name
-provider-path path
-propquery propq
See "Provider Options" in openssl(1), provider(7), and property(7).

EXAMPLES¶

Convert a PKCS#7 file from PEM to DER:

openssl pkcs7 -in file.pem -outform DER -out file.der

Output all certificates in a file:

openssl pkcs7 -in file.pem -print_certs -out certs.pem

HISTORY¶

The -engine option was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
