✨ ipa-certupdate ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the ipa-certupdate page from the IPA Manual Pages 💖 this is the little command that goes and gets your local IPA certificate databases caught up with whatever the server is serving. it's giving "glow up for your certs" and honestly? iconic.

🌸 NAME 🌸

ipa-certupdate — update local IPA certificate databases with certificates from the server 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ipa-certupdate [OPTIONS...]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. drop the command, maybe sprinkle some options on it, slay. 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so ipa-certupdate is literally the tool you use to update your local IPA certificate databases with certificates straight from the server. that's the entire assignment and she ate. no cap, no extra lore, that's what she does. ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • --force-server=ipa.server.fqdn — force the update to use the server you name here, bestie. use the fully-qualified domain name of the server only, and verify that the target server actually has a correct set of CA certificates before you do it, because your local certificates will be overwritten. yes, overwritten overwritten. this is the main character option and she does not play. 😭
  • -v, --verbose — print debugging information. she's chatty, she's telling you everything, we love the transparency. 🔥
  • -q, --quiet — output only errors. she's giving minimalism, silence, peace, only speaking up when something's wrong. 🙈
  • --log-file=*FILE* — log to the given file. write it all down in FILE, keep the receipts. 🍓

🌈 EXIT STATUS 🌈

  • 0 if the command was successful 💖 (she did it, she slayed)
  • 1 if an error occurred 💀 (something went wrong, we're crying)
