Key Usage Extension

The GenExtKeyUsage tool creates a base-64 encoded blob that adds ExtendedKeyUsage (OID

2.5.29.37) to the certificate. This blob is pasted into the certificate approval page when the certificate is

created.

The GenExtKeyUsage tool has the following syntax:

GenExtKeyUsage [true|false] OID ...

Option

true | false

OID

Table 18.1.

For more information on the OIDs that can be used for each certificate type, refer to appendix A,

capable of interpreting that extension.
