NAME
openssl-nseq - create or examine a Netscape certificate sequence
SYNOPSIS
opensslnseq [-help] [-infilename] [-outfilename] [-toseq] [-providername] [-provider-pathpath] [-provparam[name:]key=value] [-propquerypropq]
DESCRIPTION
This command takes a file containing a Netscape certificate sequence and prints out the certificates contained in it or takes a file of certificates and converts it into a Netscape certificate sequence.
A Netscape certificate sequence is an old Netscape-specific format that can be sometimes be sent to browsers as an alternative to the standard PKCS#7 format when several certificates are sent to the browser, for example during certificate enrollment. It was also used by Netscape certificate server.
