Generating Audit Signing CSR with PKI NSS

Generating CSR

To create a certificate request, prepare a certificate extension configuration (e.g. audit_signing.conf):

authorityKeyIdentifier = keyid:always
keyUsage               = critical, digitalSignature, nonRepudiation

Then execute the following command:

$ pki nss-cert-request \
    --subject "CN=Audit Signing Certificate" \
    --ext audit_signing.conf \
    --csr audit_signing.csr

Availability: PKI 10.9
