Issuing Admin Certificate with PKI NSS

Issuing a Certificate

To issue a certificate, prepare a certificate extension configuration in a file (e.g. admin.conf):

authorityKeyIdentifier = keyid:always
keyUsage               = critical, digitalSignature, nonRepudiation, keyEncipherment
extendedKeyUsage       = clientAuth, emailProtection

To issue a certificate signed by a CA certificate, specify the CA certificate nickname:

$ pki nss-cert-issue \
    --issuer ca_signing \
    --csr admin.csr \
    --ext admin.conf \
    --cert admin.crt
