💖 CERTMONGER 💖

okay so this is the manual page for getcert from the certmonger suite, bestie. she's a General Commands Manual girlie and she's here to tell you the vibe of your certificates. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

getcert — no cap, that's the whole name, that's her 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

getcert status [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically, getcert status goes and asks certmonger how a particular certificate request is doing — like a vibe check but for your cert 🔥 — and then it sets an exit status to match whatever it finds. that exit status is the whole point, iykyk. the number it hands back tells you exactly what's up. 💅

💜 SELECTION OPTIONS 💜

you gotta tell her which cert you're asking about. here's how, bestie:

• -d DIR, --dbdir=DIR — check the status of a certificate that lives in the NSS database you name here. ⚠️ you must also give the -n option with this one, they're a package deal fr fr.
• -n NAME, --nickname=NAME — check the status of a certificate with this specific nickname. ⚠️ you must also give the -d option with this one. they don't go anywhere without each other 😭
• -f FILE, --certfile=FILE — check the status of a certificate stored in this PEM file. 🍓
• -i NAME, --id=NAME — check the status of the certificate with this request nickname. ✨

👑 EXIT STATUS 👑

this is the tea, the main character energy, the whole reason she exists. the number she returns tells you everything:

• 0 — certificate is issued and valid. slay!! you ate that 💅✨
• 1 — there was an error communicating with the certmonger(8) daemon, or there's no such certificate known to it. 😭
• 2. — the certificate signing request was rejected by the CA. ouch. rejected, bestie 💀
• 3. — the CA could not be reached, but the attempts to talk to it will be retried. she's persistent, she's patient 🫶
• 4. — configuration error. something's set up wrong, go fix it 🙈
• 5. — the client is working on the request, or waiting for the server. hold on, she's cooking ⏳

💀 BUGS 💀
