Issuing Audit Signing Certificate with PKI NSS

Issuing Certificate

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

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

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

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