CERTMONGER(1)

💅 CERTMONGER(1) — the local-getcert page, bestie edition

okay so this is the manual for local-getcert, living in the General Commands Manual section. yes it's filed under CERTMONGER(1) but the actual name of the thing is local-getcert. close enough, we move ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

local-getcert — that's the one, that's the girl 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's how you summon her, fr fr:

local-getcert request [options]
local-getcert resubmit [options]
local-getcert start-tracking [options]
local-getcert status [options]
local-getcert stop-tracking [options]
local-getcert list [options]
local-getcert list-cas [options]
local-getcert refresh-cas [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so. the local-getcert tool slides into the DMs of a org.fedorahosted.certmonger service, and it does it on behalf of the invoking user. that's the whole vibe: you ask, the service does. 💅

what can you ask it for? glad you asked, bestie:

• you can ask the service to begin enrollment, and optionally generate a key pair to use while it's at it
• you can ask the service to begin monitoring a certificate at a location you specify, watching for expiration — and optionally refresh it when expiration gets close, like a girl who checks her calendar 👑
• you can ask it to list the set of certificates the service is already monitoring
• or you can ask it to list the set of CAs the service is capable of using

and if you give it no command at all as the first command-line argument? she'll just print short usage information for each of its functions. helpful queen. 🫶

ngl, the important bit: local-getcert behaves identically to the generic getcert tool when it is used with the -c local option. same girl, different name tag.

also!! certmonger supports retrieving the list of current and previously-used local CA certificates. if you wanna know how to use the -F and -a options to say where those certificates should be stored, go read getcert-request(1) and getcert-resubmit(1). iykyk 📚
