GRID-CA-SIGN(1) Globus Commands GRID-CA-SIGN(1) NAME
grid-ca-sign - Sign a certificate with a SimpleCA for use on a grid SYNOPSIS
grid-ca-sign [-help] [-h] [-usage] [-version] [-versions] grid-ca-sign -in REQUEST -out CERTIFICATE [-force] [-dir DIRECTORY] [-openssl-help] [OPENSSL-OPTIONS] DESCRIPTION
The grid-ca-sign program signs a certificate based on a request file with a CA certificate created by grid-ca-create. The new certificate is written to a file. If the CA has already signed a certificate with the same subject name as contained in the certificate request, it will refuse to sign the new request unless the -force option is provided on the command-line. If run as a privileged user, grid-ca-sign uses the CA certificate and configuration located in ${localstatedir}/lib/globus/simple_ca to sign the certificate. For a non-privileged user, grid-ca-sign uses the CA certificate and configuration located in $HOME/.globus/simpleCA. The grid-ca-sign program an use a different CA configuration and certificate by using the -dir option. The full set of command-line options to grid-ca-sign follows. In addition to these, unknown options will be passed to the openssl command when creating the self-signed certificate. -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 details about the package containing grid-ca-sign. -in REQUEST Sign the request contained in the REQUEST file. -out CERTIFICATE Write the signed request to the CERTIFICATE file. -force Revoke any previously issued certificate with the same subject name as in the certificate request and issue a new certificate. Otherwise, grid-ca-sign will refuse to sign the request. -dir DIRECTORY Sign the certificate using the Simple CA certificate and configuration located in DIRECTORY instead of the default. -openssl-help Print the command-line options available for the openssl ca command.
