OSPENROLL(1)

πŸ’– OSPENROLL(1) β€” General Commands Manual πŸ’–

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let's talk about ospenroll β€” she lives in the General Commands Manual section of your friendly neighborhood Unix, and she's here to get your OSP client device all keyed up and certified. no cap. ✨


πŸ¦‹ NAME πŸ¦‹

ospenroll β€” the OSP enroll script πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ospenroll ospserver...

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this manual page? it documents ospenroll briefly, okay, that's the assignment. she's not doing a whole TED talk.

also real talk: this page was written for the Debian distribution specifically, because the original program literally does not have a manual page. like, nothing. void. so Debian said "fine, we'll write one ourselves" and here we are. 🫢

and now the actual plot: ospenroll is a program that lets the OSP client device:

  1. generate its own public-private key pair πŸ‘‘
  2. get the public key from an OSP peering server
  3. send a certificate request to a peering server
  4. receive the resulting signed certificate from the peering server πŸŽ€

it's giving "self-made cryptographic icon" fr fr. the whole glow-up arc: you make your own keys, you ask nicely, you get a signed cert back. slay. πŸ”₯


πŸ’… OPTIONS πŸ’…

  • ospserver β€” the OSP server's IP or domain name. that's the vibe check. you can pass more than one (peep that ... in the synopsis, she's poly-amorous with servers 🌈).
