CERTMONGER(1)

💖 CERTMONGER 💖 (that's the manual name bestie, section 1 of the General Commands Manual, and yes she ate)

✨ NAME ✨

getcert — okay so this is the whole vibe of the page, it's the tool, she's the main character 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

getcert add-ca [options]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So basically add-ca adds a CA configuration to certmonger, and then — bestie, listen — you can subsequently use that config to enroll certificates. Like it's your lil saved contact for a certificate authority. Set it up once, slide into its DMs forever 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -c NAME, --ca=NAME — the nickname you're giving this CA configuration, like a cute lil pet name but for a whole certificate authority 💖 and here's the slay: that exact same value can later be passed into getcert's request, resubmit, and start-tracking commands using the -c flag. One name, so many errands. iconic.
• -e COMMAND, --command=COMMAND — the helper command to run when you need to communicate with the CA. This helper is the one doing the actual talking: it passes signing requests to the CA, relays the CA's responses back to the certmonger service, and reads information about the CA. So like, it's the social butterfly of the operation ✨
• -v, --verbose — be verbose about errors, aka let the drama be seen 🌈 normally the details of an error received from the daemon get suppressed if the client can make a diagnostic suggestion — but with this flag, you get the whole story, no cap.
