This command line option must be constructed of a string of
white-space-separated key=value pairs as follows:
For example: "CN=Symbian OU=Development OR=SymbianLtd CO=GB" |
-password <password> | Password (optional). After creation, the password must be supplied to subsequently use the private key. |
-len <key-length> | The key-length. The minimum is 512, maximum is 4096. The key length defaults to 1024. |
<private-key-file> | The file containing the private key. The developer keeps the private key secret, whereas the public key is usually made generally available. The file has a .key extension. |
<public-key-cert> | A self-signed certificate containing the public key. The file has a .cer extension. |
<cert-request-file> | A self-contained file that is sent to the Certificate Authority (CA). The Certification Generator creates this file with a private and public key. It is then up to the developer to send the file to the CA and arrange for the application of the certificate. The file has a .p10 extension. |
