OPENSSL-STOREUTL(1)

NAME
openssl-storeutl - STORE command

SYNOPSIS
openssl storeutl [-help] [-out file] [-noout] [-passin arg] [-text arg] [-r] [-certs] [-keys] [-crls] [-skeys] [-subject arg] [-issuer arg] [-serial arg] [-alias arg] [-fingerprint arg] [-digest] [-provider name] [-provider-path path] [-provparam [name:]key=value] [-propquery propq] uri

DESCRIPTION
This command can be used to display the contents (after decryption as the case may be) fetched from the given URI.

OPTIONS

-help
    Print out a usage message.

-out filename
    This specifies the output file to write to. Standard output is used if this option is not present. The output file can be the same as the input, which leads to replacing the file contents. Note that file I/O is not atomic. The output file is truncated and then written.

-noout
    this option prevents output of the PEM data.

-passin arg
    the key password source. For more information about the format of arg see openssl-passphrase-options(1).

-text
    Prints out the objects in text form, similarly to the -text output from openssl-x509(1), openssl-pkey(1), etc.

-r  Fetch objects recursively when possible.

-certs
-keys
-crls
-skeys
    Only select the certificates, keys, CRLs or symmetric keys from the given URI. However, if this URI would return a set of names (URIs), those are always returned.

    Note that all options must be given before the uri argument.

    Note -keys selects exclusively private keys, there is no selector for public keys only.

-subject arg
    Search for an object having the subject name arg.

    The arg must be formatted as "/type0=value0/type1=value1/type2=...". Special characters may be escaped by "\" (backslash), whitespace is retained. Empty values are permitted but are ignored for the search. That is, a search with an empty value will have the same effect as not specifying the type at all. Giving a single "/" will lead to an empty sequence of RDNs (a NULL-DN). Multi-valued RDNs can be formed by placing a "+" character instead of a "/" between the AttributeValueAssertions (AVAs) that specify the members of the set.

    Example:

    "/DC=org/DC=OpenSSL/DC=users/UID=123456+CN=John Doe"

-issuer arg
-serial arg
    Search for an object having the given issuer name and serial number. These two options must be used together. The issuer arg must be formatted as "/type0=value0/type1=value1/type2=...", characters may be escaped by \ (backslash), no spaces are skipped. The serial arg may be specified as a decimal value or a hex value if preceded by "0x".

-alias arg
    Search for an object having the given alias.

-fingerprint arg
    Search for an object having the given fingerprint.

-digest
    The digest that was used to compute the fingerprint given with -fingerprint.

-provider name
-provider-path path
-provparam [name:]key=value
-propquery propq
    See "Provider Options" in openssl(1), provider(7), and property(7).
