NAME
grid-ca-package - Prepare a CA certificate, configuration, and policy for distribution
SYNOPSIS
grid-ca-package [-help] [-h] [-usage] [-version] [-versions] grid-ca-package [-ca HASH] [-g] [-b] [-r] [-d]
DESCRIPTION
The grid-ca-package utility creates a tarball containing an RPM spec file and the files needed to use a CA with grid tools. It optionally will also create a GPT package for distributing a CA. By default, the grid-ca-package 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-package, it may provided as an argument to the -ca parameter to avoid prompting. In addition to generating a spec script and tarball, grid-ca-package creates a GPT package if either the -g or -b options are used on the command-line. These packages may be used to distribute a CA and configuration to systems which do not support RPM packages. The grid-ca-package utility writes the package tarballs to the current working directory. The full set of command-line options to grid-ca-package follows. -help, -h, -usage Display the command-line options to grid-ca-package and exit. -version, -versions Display the version number of the grid-ca-package command. The second form includes more details. -ca CA Use the CA whose name matches the hash string CA. When invoked with this option, grid-ca-package runs non-interactively. -g Create a GPT binary package in addition to the RPM script tarball. This package may be installed on other systems using the gpt-install program. -b Create a GPT binary package with GPT metadata located in the path expected by GPT 3.2 (used in Globus 2.0.0-5.0.x) instead of ${datadir}/globus/packages as used in Globus 5.2.x. This option overrides the -g command-line option. -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.
