getcert

SYNOPSIS

getcert request [options]

DESCRIPTION

Tells certmonger to use an existing key pair (or to generate one if one is not already found in the specified location), to generate a signing request using the key pair, and to submit them for signing to a CA.

KEY AND CERTIFICATE STORAGE OPTIONS

-d DIR
Use an NSS database in the specified directory for storing this certificate and key.
-n NAME
Use the key with this nickname to generate the signing request. If no such key is found, generate one. Give the enrolled certificate this nickname, too. Only valid with -d.
-t TOKEN
If the NSS database has more than one token available, use the token with this name for storing and accessing the certificate and key. This argument only rarely needs to be specified. Only valid with -d.
-f FILE
Store the issued certificate in this file. For safety's sake, do not use the same file specified with the -k option.
-k FILE
Use the key stored in this file to generate the signing request. If no such file is found, generate a new key pair and store them in the file. Only valid with -f.

KEY ENCRYPTION OPTIONS

-p FILE
Encrypt private key files or databases using the PIN stored in the named file as the passphrase.
-P PIN
Encrypt private key files or databases using the specified PIN as the passphrase. Because command-line arguments to running processes are trivially discoverable, use of this option is not recommended except for testing.

KEY GENERATION OPTIONS

-g BITS
In case a new key pair needs to be generated, this option specifies the size of the key. If not specified, a reasonable default (currently 2048 bits) will be used.

TRACKING OPTIONS

-r
Attempt to obtain a new certificate from the CA when the expiration date of a certificate nears. This is the default setting.
-R
Don't attempt to obtain a new certificate from the CA when the expiration date of a certificate nears. If this option is specified, an expired certificate will simply stay expired.
-I NAME
Assign the specified nickname to this task. If this option is not specified, a name will be assigned automatically.

ENROLLMENT OPTIONS

-c NAME
Enroll with the specified CA rather than a possible default. The name of the CA should correspond to one listed by getcert list-cas.

SIGNING REQUEST OPTIONS

If none of -N, -U, -K, -E, and -D are specified, a default group of settings will be used to request an SSL server certificate for the current host, with the host Kerberos service as an additional name.

-N NAME
Set the subject name to include in the signing request. The default used is CN=hostname, where hostname is the local hostname.
-U EKU
Add an extensionRequest for the specified extendedKeyUsage to the signing request. The EKU value is expected to be an object identifier (OID).
-K NAME
Add an extensionRequest for a subjectAltName, with the specified Kerberos principal name as its value, to the signing request.
-E EMAIL
Add an extensionRequest for a subjectAltName, with the specified email address as its value, to the signing request.
-D DNSNAME
Add an extensionRequest for a subjectAltName, with the specified DNS name as its value, to the signing request.
