By default, only CA root certificates trusted to issue SSL +server authentication certificates are extracted. These are then processed with +the OpenSSL commandline tool to produce the final ca-bundle file. + +The default \fIoutputfile\fP name is \fBca-bundle.crt\fP. By setting it to '-' +(a single dash) you will get the output sent to STDOUT instead of a file. + +The PEM format this scripts uses for output makes the result readily available +for use by just about all OpenSSL or GnuTLS powered applications, such as +curl, wget and more. +.SH OPTIONS +The following options are supported: +.IP -b +backup an existing version of \fIoutputfilename\fP +.IP "-d [name]" +specify which Mozilla tree to pull certdata.txt from (or a custom URL). Valid +names are: aurora, beta, central, mozilla, nss, release (default). They are +shortcuts for which source tree to get the cert data from. +.IP -f +force rebuild even if certdata.txt is current (Added in version 1.17) +.IP -i +print version info about used modules +.IP -l +print license info about certdata.txt +.IP -n +no download of certdata.txt (to use existing) +.IP "-p [purposes]:[levels]" +list of Mozilla trust purposes and levels for certificates to include in output. +Takes the form of a comma separated list of purposes, a colon, and a comma +separated list of levels. The default is to include all certificates trusted +to issue SSL Server certificates (SERVER_AUTH:TRUSTED_DELEGATOR). + +(Added in version 1.21, Perl only) + +Valid purposes are: +.RS +ALL, DIGITAL_SIGNATURE, NON_REPUDIATION, KEY_ENCIPHERMENT, +DATA_ENCIPHERMENT, KEY_AGREEMENT, KEY_CERT_SIGN, CRL_SIGN, +SERVER_AUTH (default), CLIENT_AUTH, CODE_SIGNING, EMAIL_PROTECTION, +IPSEC_END_SYSTEM, IPSEC_TUNNEL, IPSEC_USER, TIME_STAMPING, STEP_UP_APPROVED +.RE +.IP +Valid trust levels are: +.RS +ALL, TRUSTED_DELEGATOR (default), NOT_TRUSTED, MUST_VERIFY_TRUST, TRUSTED +.RE +.IP -q +be really quiet (no progress output at all) +.IP -t +include plain text listing of certificates +.IP "-s [algorithms]" +comma separated list of signature algorithms with which to hash/fingerprint +each certificate and output when run in plain text mode. + +(Added in version 1.21, Perl only) + +Valid algorithms are: +.RS +ALL, NONE, MD5 (default), SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512 +.RE +.IP -u +unlink (remove) certdata.txt after processing +.IP -v +be verbose and print out processed CAs +.SH EXIT STATUS +Returns 0 on success. Returns 1 if it fails to download data. +.SH CERTDATA FORMAT +The file format used by Mozilla for this trust information seems to be documented here: +.nf +http://p11-glue.freedesktop.org/doc/storing-trust-policy/storing-trust-existing.html +.fi +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR curl (1) +.SH HISTORY +\fBmk-ca-bundle\fP is a command line tool that is shipped as part of every +curl and libcurl release (see http://curl.haxx.se/). It was originally based +on the parse-certs script written by Roland Krikava and was later much +improved by Guenter Knauf.
