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 sign-
       ing 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.
