.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.
This sub-command of
.BR pki (1)
is used to create a PKCS#10 certificate request.
.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.
.TP
.B "\-h, \-\-help"
Print usage information with a summary of the available options.
.TP
.BI "\-v, \-\-debug " level
Set debug level, default: 1.
.TP
.BI "\-+, \-\-options " file
Read command line options from \fIfile\fR.
.TP
.BI "\-i, \-\-in " file
Private key input file. If not given the key is read from \fISTDIN\fR.
.TP
.BI "\-x, \-\-keyid " hex
Smartcard or TPM private key object handle in hex format with an optional
0x prefix.
.TP
.BI "\-t, \-\-type " type
Type of the input key. Either \fIpriv\fR, \fIrsa\fR, \fIecdsa\fR or \fIbliss\fR,
defaults to \fIpriv\fR.
.TP
.BI "\-d, \-\-dn " distinguished-name
Subject distinguished name (DN). Required.
.TP
.BI "\-a, \-\-san " subjectAltName
subjectAltName extension to include in request. Can be used multiple times.
.TP
.BI "\-p, \-\-password " password
The challengePassword to include in the certificate request.
.TP
.BI "\-g, \-\-digest " digest
Digest to use for signature creation. One of \fImd5\fR, \fIsha1\fR,
\fIsha224\fR, \fIsha256\fR, \fIsha384\fR, or \fIsha512\fR. The default is
determined based on the type and size of the signature key.
.TP
.BI "\-R, \-\-rsa\-padding " padding
Padding to use for RSA signatures. Either \fIpkcs1\fR or \fIpss\fR, defaults
to \fIpkcs1\fR.
.TP
.BI "\-f, \-\-outform " encoding
Encoding of the created certificate file. Either \fIder\fR (ASN.1 DER) or
\fIpem\fR (Base64 PEM), defaults to \fIder\fR.
.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.
Generate a certificate request for an RSA key, with a subjectAltName extension:
.PP
.EX
pki \-\-req \-\-in key.der \-\-dn "C=CH, O=strongSwan, CN=moon" \\
\-\-san moon@strongswan.org > req.der
.EE
.PP
Generate a certificate request for an ECDSA key and a different digest:
.PP
.EX
pki \-\-req \-\-in key.der \-\-type ecdsa \-\-digest sha256 \\
\-\-dn "C=CH, O=strongSwan, CN=carol" > req.der
.EE
.PP
