OPENSSL-STOREUTL(1ossl)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this is the OPENSSL-STOREUTL(1ossl) page — aka the STORE command from OpenSSL. It's literally the little shopping trip that fetches objects from a URI and shows you what's inside 💅✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

openssl storeutl [-help] [-out file] [-noout] [-passin arg] [-text arg]
[-r] [-certs] [-keys] [-crls] [-subject arg] [-issuer arg] [-serial arg]
[-alias arg] [-fingerprint arg] [-digest] [-engine id] [-provider name]
[-provider-path path] [-provparam [name:]key=value] [-propquery propq]
uri

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This command can be used to display the contents — after decryption as the case may be — fetched from the given URI. That's the whole vibe: point it at a URI, and it shows you the goods 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -help — print out a usage message. classic helpful icon behavior 💖
• -out filename — this specifies the output file to write to. Standard output is used if this option is not present. The output file can be the same as the input, which leads to replacing the file contents. Note that file I/O is not atomic. The output file is truncated and then written. lowkey important, so don't say I didn't warn you 😭
• -noout — this option prevents output of the PEM data.
• -passin arg — the key password source. For more information about the format of arg see openssl-passphrase-options(1).
• -text — prints out the objects in text form, similarly to the -text output from openssl-x509(1), openssl-pkey(1), etc.
• -r — fetch objects recursively when possible. she's thorough, okay? 🔥
• -certs — only select the certificates from the given URI.
• -keys — only select the keys from the given URI. Note -keys selects exclusively private keys, there is no selector for public keys only.
• -crls — only select the CRLs from the given URI.

However, if this URI would return a set of names (URIs), those are always returned.

Note that all options must be given before the uri argument. no cap, order matters bestie 💀

• -subject arg — search for an object having the subject name arg.

The arg must be formatted as "/type0=value0/type1=value1/type2=...". Special characters may be escaped by \ (backslash), whitespace is retained. Empty values are permitted but are ignored for the search. That is, a search with an empty value will have the same effect as not specifying the type at all. Giving a single / will lead to an empty sequence of RDNs (a NULL-DN). Multi-valued RDNs can be formed by placing a + character instead of a / between the AttributeValueAssertions (AVAs) that specify the members of the set.

Example:

"/DC=org/DC=OpenSSL/DC=users/UID=123456+CN=John Doe"

• -issuer arg — search for an object having the given issuer name. The issuer arg must be formatted as "/type0=value0/type1=value1/type2=...", characters may be escaped by \ (backslash), no spaces are skipped.
• -serial arg — search for an object having the given serial number. The serial arg may be specified as a decimal value or a hex value if preceded by 0x.

These two options must be used together. -issuer and -serial are a package deal, fr fr 🫶

• -alias arg — search for an object having the given alias.
• -fingerprint arg — search for an object having the given fingerprint.
• -digest — the digest that was used to compute the fingerprint given with -fingerprint.
• -engine id — see "Engine Options" in openssl(1). This option is deprecated. she's giving legacy behavior, ngl 🙈
• -provider name — see "Provider Options" in openssl(1), provider(7), and property(7).
• -provider-path path — see "Provider Options" in openssl(1), provider(7), and property(7).
• -provparam [name:]key=value — see "Provider Options" in openssl(1), provider(7), and property(7).
• -propquery propq — see "Provider Options" in openssl(1), provider(7), and property(7).
