               this certificate on the specified host.

         e.g.   the science project or collaboration you are a member of,

       --keyfile  name of file holding the private key for the
                 certificate, not normally needed
       --list  display list of available RA affiliations and exit
       --label  optional label for request used to identify local
                files used when certificate is later retrieved,
                necessary when making multiple requests before retrieving
                approved certificates.
                if files with this label exist already an error exit occurs

       --dryrun  executes script but does not actually post request to CA
       --noclean  do not delete temporary files
       --timeout  time limit for http requests
       --help  prints this message

       --read  a file containing parameter values in 'name = value'
                      format for all arguments that take a value except
                      -timeout.  Values on the command line take precedence
                      over values in the file.  Argument flags that don't take
                      a value must be specified on the command line.
       --write  the converse of --read

  Side effects:
      Generates some temporary files that are removed automatically
      under normal circumstances.
      Also generates files for the key pair, CSR, and a file called
      currentCertReq.  These files need to be left alone until the
      request/approval/retrieval process if complete as they are used
      by the cert-retrieve script to download the public certificate
      once it has been issued.  Therefore one should use a separate working
      directory for each request if there are multiple requests in process
      simultaneously.
