.SH OPERATIONS

To view available PKCS #12 commands, type \fBpki pkcs12\fP. To view each command's usage, type \fB pki pkcs12-<command> \-\-help\fP.

All \fBpki pkcs12\fP commands require a PKCS #12 file and its password.
The PKCS #12 file can be specified with the \fB--pkcs12-file\fP parameter.
The password can be specified either directly with the \fB--pkcs12-password\fP parameter, or in a file with the \fB--pkcs12-password-file\fP parameter.

Some \fBpki pkcs12\fP commands require an NSS database and its password.
The NSS database location can be specified with the \fB-d\fP parameter (default: ~/.dogtag/nssdb).
The NSS database password can be specified with the \fB-c\fP or the \fB-C\fP parameter.

.SS Exporting all certificates and keys into a PKCS #12 file

To export all certificates and keys from an NSS database into a PKCS #12 file:

.B pki <NSS database location> <NSS database password> pkcs12-export <PKCS #12 file> <PKCS #12 password> [nicknames...]

By default the command will export all certificates in the NSS database.
To export certain certificates only, specify the certificate nicknames as separate arguments.

By default the command will always create a new PKCS #12 file.
To export into an existing PKCS #12 file, specify the \fB--append\fP parameter.

By default the command will include the certificate chain.
To export without certificate chain, specify the \fB--no-chain\fP parameter.

By default the command will include the key of each certificate.
To export without the key, specify the \fB--no-key\fP parameter.

By default the command will include the trust flags of each certificate.
To export without the trust flags, specify the \fB--no-trust-flags\fP parameter.

.SS Importing certificates and keys from a PKCS #12 file

To import certificates and keys from a PKCS #12 file into an NSS database:

.B pki <NSS database location> <NSS database password> pkcs12-import <PKCS #12 file> <PKCS #12 password>

By default the command will include all certificates in the PKCS #12 file.
To import without the CA certificates (certificates without keys), specify the \fB--no-ca-certs\fP parameter.
To import without the user certificates (certificates with keys), specify the \fB--no-user-certs\fP parameter.

By default the command will skip a certificate if it already exists in the NSS database.
To overwrite the nickname, the key, and the trust flags of existing certificates, specify the \fB--overwrite\fP parameter.

By default the command will include the trust flags of each certificate.
To import without the trust flags, specify the \fB--no-trust-flags\fP parameter.
