ipsec_convert(8)
NAME
  ipsec_convert - Converts the format of IPsec certificate files

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/sbin/ ipsec_convert [-cert] [-crl] [-req] :p|b|h:input_file1
  :p|b|h:output_file1 [:p|b|h:input_file2 :p|b|h:output_file2 ...]

OPTIONS
  -cert
      Specifies a file that contains an X.509 public key certificate.

  -crl
      Specifies a file that contains an X.509 certificate revocation list.

  -req
      Specifies a file that contains a PKCS-10 format certificate request.

DESCRIPTION
  The ipsec_convert command converts files that contain public-key
  certificate information among the formats supported by the Tru64 UNIX IPsec
  software.  This command and other related certificate commands in this
  implementation of IPsec are intended for testing purposes only.  They are
  not intended to provide a complete public-key certificate infrastructure.

  The ipsec_convert utility reads each input file, converts it, and writes
  the result to the corresponding output file.	The type of certificate-
  related data is specified by the -cert, -crl, and -req options.  The format
  of the input file and the format of the output file are specified by
  preceding the file name with one of the following formatting characters
  delimited by colons:

  :p:	  Privacy-Encoded-Mail (PEM) format

	  The file is encoded as a Base64-encoded binary.

  :b:	  Binary (DER encoded) format

	  The file is encoded in accordance with the Distinguished Encoding
	  Rules (DER) of ASN.1.

  :h:	  HEXL format

	  The file is encoded as a hexadecimal string. Each line has the
	  following form:

	       xxxxxxxx: yyyy yyyy yyyy yyyy yyyy yyyy yyyy yyyy

	  In this form, xxxxxxxx is the hexadecimal offset of the data at the
	  beginning of the line and yyyy yyyy yyyy yyyy yyyy yyyy yyyy yyyy
	  is up to 16 bytes of hexadecimal data.

EXAMPLES
  The following command converts a file containing a certificate from binary
  to PEM format:

       # ipsec_convert -cert :b:/home/mycert.bin :p:newcert.pem

  Commands: ipsec_certmake(8), ipsec_certview(8)
