SYNOPSIS¶

DESCRIPTION¶

SPECIFYING REQUESTS BY NICKNAME¶

-i NAME

Resubmit a signing request for the tracking request which has this nickname. If this option is not specified, and a tracking entry which matches the key and certificate storage options which are specified already exists, that entry will be used. If not specified, the location of the certificate should be specified with either a combination of the -d and -n options, or with the -f option.

SPECIFYING REQUESTS BY CERTIFICATE LOCATION¶

-d DIR

The certificate is in the NSS database in the specified directory.

-n NAME

The certificate in the NSS database named with -d has the specified nickname. Only valid with -d.

-t TOKEN

If the NSS database has more than one token available, the certificate is stored in this token. This argument only rarely needs to be specified. Only valid with -d.

-f FILE

The certificate is stored in the named file.

ENROLLMENT OPTIONS¶

-c NAME

Submit the new signing request to the specified CA rather than the one which was previously associated with this certificate. The name of the CA should correspond to one listed by getcert list-cas.

-T NAME

Request a certificate using the named profile, template, or certtype, from the specified CA.

-I NAME

Assign the specified nickname to this task, replacing the previous nickname.

SIGNING REQUEST OPTIONS¶

-N NAME

Change the subject name to include in the signing request.

-u keyUsage

Add an extensionRequest for the specified keyUsage to the signing request. The keyUsage value is expected to be one of these names:

digitalSignature

nonRepudiation

keyEncipherment

dataEncipherment

keyAgreement

keyCertSign

cRLSign

encipherOnly

decipherOnly

-U EKU

Change the extendedKeyUsage value specified in an extendedKeyUsage extension part of the extensionRequest attribute in the signing request. The EKU value is expected to be an object identifier (OID).

-K NAME

Change the Kerberos principal name specified as part of a subjectAltName extension part of the extensionRequest attribute in the signing request.

-E EMAIL

Change the email address specified as part of a subjectAltName extension part of the extensionRequest attribute in the signing request.

-D DNSNAME

Change the DNS name specified as part of a subjectAltName extension part of the extensionRequest attribute in the signing request.

-A ADDRESS

Change the IP address specified as part of a subjectAltName extension part of the extensionRequest attribute in the signing request.

-l FILE

Add an optional ChallengePassword value, read from the file, to the signing request. A ChallengePassword is often required when the CA is accessed using SCEP.

-L PIN

Add the argument value to the signing request as a ChallengePassword attribute. A ChallengePassword is often required when the CA is accessed using SCEP.

OTHER OPTIONS¶

-B COMMAND

When ever the certificate or the CA's certificates are saved to the specified locations, run the specified command as the client user before saving the certificates.

-C COMMAND

When ever the certificate or the CA's certificates are saved to the specified locations, run the specified command as the client user after saving the certificates.

-a DIR

When ever the certificate is saved to the specified location, if root certificates for the CA are available, save them to the specified NSS database.

-F FILE

When ever the certificate is saved to the specified location, if root certificates for the CA are available, and when the local copies of the CA's root certificates are updated, save them to the specified file.

-w

Wait for the certificate to be reissued and saved, or for the attempt to obtain one to fail.

-v

Be verbose about errors. Normally, the details of an error received from the daemon will be suppressed if the client can make a diagnostic suggestion.
