A tool to identify related SSL keys, CSRs, and certificates.
Use with the -h option to show usage information.
Process hidden files / directories
Use with the -H option to include hidden files and directories.
Run with any number of path arguments to define the working file set. If no arguments are provided, the current working directory ($PWD) is used.
% sslchains samples/*pem
example.org
* Key: samples/self_signed.pem
* CSR: samples/self_signed.pem
* Certificates:
- samples/self_signed.pem (self-signed)
Reference separate key, CSR, and certificate files (including signing certificates) to generate more complete output.
% sslchains samples/ca* samples/intermediate_ca.crt
example.com
* Key: samples/ca_signed.key
* CSR: samples/ca_signed.csr
* Certificates:
- samples/ca_signed.crt
> samples/intermediate_ca.crt
Use with the -l option to display each chain on a single line (-L to suppress the header row).
In single line display mode, each certificate in the chain is separated by a pipe (|) symbol.
Tip: Add |column -t for more readable output.
% sslchains -l samples/ca* samples/intermediate_ca.crt | column -t
name key request certificate_chain
example.com samples/ca_signed.key samples/ca_signed.csr samples/ca_signed.crt|samples/intermediate_ca.crt
Use with the -r option to process arguments recursively.
Use with the -S option to follow symlinks.
Use with the -U option to process an unlimited number of files, rather than exiting after a set default limit.
Use with the -X option to cross filesystem boundaries.
