💖 selfsign-getcert — the CERTMONGER(1) page, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the certmonger manual section 1 ✨ this is the one about selfsign-getcert, and yes it lives in the General Commands Manual, and yes we're gonna get through all of it together 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

selfsign-getcert — that's the name, that's the girl 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

look at her go, eight whole modes, no cap 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the selfsign-getcert tool sends requests to a org.fedorahosted.certmonger service, and it does it on behalf of the invoking user — like, you're the main character, it's your request 👑

what can it actually do? lemme list it out because the way this works is lowkey elegant:

• it can ask the service to begin enrollment, and optionally it can generate a key pair for you to use 🔑
• it can ask the service to start monitoring a certificate in a location you specify, watching for expiration, and optionally refresh it when expiration gets close ⏰
• it can list the certificates the service is already monitoring 📋
• or it can list the CAs the service is capable of using 🏛️

and if you give it no command as the first command-line argument? it just prints short usage info for each of its functions. helpful queen 🥰

💡 the tea: selfsign-getcert behaves identically to the generic getcert tool whenever it's used with the -c SelfSign option. same girl, different outfit ✨

⚠️ also important: certmonger's self-signer doesn't use root certificates. so even though -F and -a will still be recognized, they will effectively be ignored. they're showing up to the party but not doing anything bestie 😭
