PKTOOL(1)PKTOOL(1)NAMEpktool - manage certificates and keys
SYNOPSISpktool [-f option_file] [-i] subcommand subcommand_options ...
DESCRIPTION
The pktool command allows users to manage the certificates and keys on
multiple keystores including PKCS#11 tokens (that is, Cryptographic
Framework), Netscape Security Services (NSS) tokens, and standard file
based keystore for OpenSSL.
pktool also provides support to list, delete and import a Certificate
Revocation List (CRL). pktool does not provide support for creating
CRLs, signing CRLs, or exporting CRLs. The CRL support for the PKCS#11
keystore is file-based.
OPTIONS
The following command options are supported:
-f option_file
Allows the user to set up the options in a file
instead of entering the options on the command line.
This option is provided as a convenience for users
because pktool can potentially have a large list of
subcommands and associated options to be specified on
the command line.
The format of the option_file is one option or value
pair per-line.
An example option_file might looks as follows:
list
keystore=nss
dir=/export/foo
objtype=key
-i
Allows the user to specify the subject-DN interac‐
tively for the gencert and gencsr subcommands. When
-i is specified, the user is prompted to input some
data to form a subject-DN.
An example of using the -i option follows:
Country Name (2 letter code) [US]:US
State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:CA
Locality Name (eg, city) []:Menlo Park
Organization Name (eg, company):Sun Microsystems Inc.
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section):OPG
Common Name (eg, YOUR name):John Smith
Email Address []: john.smith@sun.com
The resulting subject-DN is:
"C=US, ST=CA, L=Menlo Park, O=Sun Microsystems Inc.,\
OU=OPG, emailAddress=john.smith@sun.com, \
CN=John Smith"

into the specified keystore.
inittoken
The format for the inittoken subcommand is as follows:
pktool inittoken [ slotid=slot number ]
[ currlabel=token[:manuf[:serial]]]
[ newlabel=new token label ]
This command initializes a PKCS#11 token using C_InitToken API.
The preferred method of locating a token is to specify its default
label. Optionally, a new label can be assigned to the token by
using the newlabel argument. If newlabel is not present, the token
label is not modified. The user is prompted to enter the security
officer (SO) PIN for this command to proceed.

The format for the list subcommand is as follows:
pktool list [token=token[:manuf[:serial]]]
[objtype=private|public|both]
[label=label]
pktool list [keystore=pkcs11]
[objtype=cert[:public | private | both]]
[token=token[:manuf[:serial]]]

objtype=key
[infile=input-fn]
[dir=directory-path]
Lists certificates, list keys, or list certificate revocation lists
(CRL). When displaying a private certificate or key in PKCS#11
token, the user is prompted to authenticate to the PKCS#11 token by
entering the correct PIN.
setpin
The format for the setpin subcommand is as follows:
pktool setpin keystore=nss
[token=token]
[dir=directory-path]
[prefix=DBprefix]
pktool setpin [ keystore=pkcs11]
[token=token[:manuf[:serial]]]
[usertype=user | so]
Changes the passphrase used to authenticate a user to the PKCS#11
or NSS token. Passphrases can be any string of characters with
lengths between 1 and 256 with no nulls.
setpin prompts the user for the old passphrase, if any. If the old
passphrase matches, pktool prompts for the new passphrase twice. If
the two entries of the new passphrases match, it becomes the cur‐
rent passphrase for the token.
For the Sun Software PKCS#11 softtoken keystore (default), the user
must use the setpin command with the default passphrase changeme as
the old passphrase to change the passphrase of the object store.
This action is needed to initialize and set the passphrase to a
newly created token object store.
If the usertype=so option is specified for PKCS#11 based tokens,
the Security Officer (SO) user PIN is changed as opposed to the
normal user PIN. By default the usertype is assumed to be user.

onym for -?.
USAGE
The pktool subcommands support the following options:
altname=[critical:]subjectAltName
Subject Alternative Names the certificate. The argument that fol‐
lows the -A option should be in the form of tag=value. Valid tags
are IP, DNS, EMAIL, URI, DN, KRB, UPN, and RID. The SubjectAltName
extension is marked as critical if the altname string is pre-
peneded with the

name="IP=1.2.3.4" Example 2: Add an email address to the subjec‐
tAltName extension, and mark it as being critical. altname="criti‐
cal:EMAIL=first.last@company.com"

Specifies the resulting symmetric key in the PKCS#11 token is
extractable or not extractable. The valid values are: y and n. The
default value is y.
format=pem | der | pkcs12
For the gencert subcommand, this option only applies to the file
based keystore such as OpenSSL. It is used to specify the output
format of the key or certificate file to be created. The valid for‐
mats are: pem or der. The default format is pem.
For the gencsr subcommand, this option specifies the output encoded
format of the CSR file. The valid formats are: pem or der. The
default format is pem.
infile=input-fn
Specifies the certificate filename for list and delete subcommands

For the genkey subcommand, the minimum and maximum bits of the sym‐
metric key to generate using AES algorithm are 128 and 256. Using
the ARCFOUR algorithm, the minimum and maximum bits are 8 and 2048.
The minimum bits for a generic secret key is 8 and the maximum bits
is arbitrary. The default key length for the AES, ARCFOUR or
generic secret keys is 128. For a DES key or a 3DES key, the key
length is fixed and this option is ignored if specified.

Example 1: Set the KeyUsage so that the cert (or csr) can be used
for signing and verifying data other than certificates or CRLs
(digitalSignature) and also can be used for encrypting and decrypt‐
ing data other than cryptographic keys (dataEncipherment).
keyusage=digitalSignature,dataEncipherment

private key in the PKCS#11 token.
For the list subcommand, this option specifies the label of the
X.509 Certificate (when objtype=key) or the private key (when obj‐
type=cert) in the PKCS#11 token to refine the list.
For the delete subcommand, this option specifies the label of the
X.509 Certificate (when objtype=key) or the private key (when obj‐
type=cert) to delete a designated object from the PKCS#11 token.
lifetime=number-hour|number-day|number-year
Specifies the validity period a certificate is valid. The certifi‐
cate life time can be specified by number-hour, number-day, or num‐
ber-year. Only one format can be specified. The default is 1-year.
Examples of this option might be: lifetime=1-hour, lifetime=2-day,
lifetime=3-year

to change the label assigned to the token that is being initial‐
ized. See the token option for details about the format of the
token name to be used.
nickname=cert-nickname
For the gencert subcommand, this option is required to specify the
certificate's nickname for NSS keystore.
For the list subcommand, this option specifies the nickname of the
certificate in the NSS token to display its content. For the delete
subcommand, to delete a CRL from the NSS token, this option is used
to specify the nickname of the issuer's certificate. For the delete
subcommand, to delete a certificate from the NSS token, this option
specifies the nickname of the certificate. For the import subcom‐
mand, to import a specified input file to the NSS token, this
option is required to specify the nickname of the resulting cer‐
tificate.
objtype=cert | key | crl
Specifies the class of the object: cert, key, or crl. For the down‐
load subcommand, if this option is not specified, default to crl.

both. This option only applies to list and delete subcommands for
the PKCS#11 token when objtype=key is specified. The default value
is public.
For the list subcommand, the label option can be combined with this
option to further refine the list of keys. For the delete subcom‐
mand, this option can used to narrow the keys to be deleted to only
public, or private ones. Alternately, the label option can be omit‐
ted to indicate that all public, private, or both type of keys are
to be deleted.The use of public, private and both as choices for
the objtype parameter are only applicable with the PKCS#11 keystore
in order to maintain compatibility with earlier versions of the
pktool command.
outcert=cert-fn
Specifies the output certificate filename to write to. This option
is required for the file based plugin such as OpenSSL. Option out‐
key=key-fn is required with this option.
outcrl=output-crl-fn
Specifies the output CRL filename to write to.
outcsr=csr-fn
Specifies the output CSR filename to write to.
outfile=output-fn
For the export subcommand, this option specifies the output file‐
name to be created. For the import subcommand, this option speci‐
fies the output filename of the certificate or CRL. It only applies
to the file based plugin such as OpenSSL. For the download subcom‐
mand, if this option is not specified, the downloaded file name is
the basename of the URL string.
outformat=pem | der | pkcs12
For the import subcommand, this option specifies the output format
of the certificate or key that is extracted from a specified
PKCS#12 file into the file based plugin, The valid values are: pem
or der. The default is pem. When importing a CRL to the CRL file
based keystore, this option specifies the output format of the CRL.
The valid values are: pem or der. The default is der. For the
export subcommand, this option specifies the format of the speci‐
fied output file to be created. The supported formats are: pem, der
or pkcs12. The default is pkcs12.
outkey=key-fn
Specifies the output private key filename to which to write. This
option is only required when using the files keystore.
prefix=DBprefix
Specifies the NSS database prefix. This option only applies to the
NSS token.
print=y | n
This option is used in the genkey subcommand and it applies to the
PKCS11 and File-based keystores. If print=y, the genkey subcommand
prints out the key value of the generated key in a single line of
hex. The default value is n. For the PKCS11 keystore, if a symmet‐
ric key is created with sensitive=y or extractable=n, the key value
is not displayed, even the print option is set to y. The key is
still created, but a warning like cannot reveal the key value is
issued.
sensitive=y | n
Specifies the resulting symmetric key in the PKCS#11 token is sen‐
sitive or not sensitive. The valid values are: y and n. The default
value is n.
serial=hex-serial-number
Specifies a unique serial number for a certificate. The serial num‐
ber must be specified as a hex value. Example:
0x0102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f
subject=subject-DN
Specifies a particular certificate owner for a certificate or cer‐
tificate request. An example subject= setting might be:
subject=O=Sun Microsystems Inc., \
OU=Solaris Security Technologies Group, \
L=Ashburn, ST=VA, C=US, CN=John Smith
token=token[:manuf[:serial]]
When a token label contains trailing spaces, this option does not
require them to be typed as a convenience to the user.
Colon separate token identification string token:manuf:serial. If
any of the parts have a literal : char then it needs to be escaped
using a backslash (\). If no : is found then the entire string (up
to 32 chars) is taken as the token label. If only one : is found
then the string is the token label and the manufacturer. When key‐
store=nss is specified, default to NSS internal token if this
option is not specified. When keystore=pkcs11 is specified, default
to pkcs11_softtoken if this option is not specified.
trust=trust-value
Specifies the certificate trust attributes. This is only for NSS
certificates and that the standard NSS syntax applies.
usertype=user | so
Specifies the type of user for which the setpin command is being
performed. The default is for a standard user, but so can be
specified in order to set the PIN for the security officer of the
token.
url=url_string
Specifies the URL to download a CRL or a certificate file.
verifycrl=y | n
When importing a CRL to NSS keystore, this option specifies whether
the CRL verification is performed. The valid values are: y and n.
The default value is n.
http_proxy=proxy_str
Specifies the proxy server hostname and port number. The format can
be either http://hostname[:port] or hostname[:port]. If this option
is not specified, the download subcommand checks the http_proxy
environment variable. The command line option has a higher priority
than the environment variable.
