💖 smime_keys — the S/MIME database bestie 💖

okay so real talk, this is the smime_keys manual page, and it's here to walk you through a lil utility that keeps neomutt's S/MIME certificate database cute and organized. ✨ It's giving "backstage pass to your certs," honestly.

🌸 NAME 🌸

smime_keys — a utility to add S/MIME certificate to the internal database used by neomutt 🎀

🦋 SYNTAX 🦋

smime_keys <operation>  [file(s) | keyID [file(s)]]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So the whole point of this tool, bestie, is to manipulate the internal database of S/MIME certificates used by neomutt. Why do we care? Because neomutt uses that database to sign mail messages which will be sent, or to verify mail messages received and signed with S/MIME. 🔥 Basically it's the keeper of your crypto vibes.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

One bullet per operation, no skips, no cap:

• init — no files needed, inits directory structure. 🍼
• refresh — no files needed. refreshes index files, including trust flag/expiration. ⭐
• list — lists the certificates stored in database. 👑
• label — keyID required. changes/removes/adds label. 🏷️
• remove — keyID required. 💀
• verify — 1=keyID and optionally 2=CRL. Verifies the certificate chain, and optionally whether this certificate is included in supplied CRL (PEM format). Note: to verify all certificates at the same time, replace keyID with "all". 🕵️♀️
• add_cert — certificate required. 🎀
• add_chain — three files reqd: 1=Key, 2=certificate plus 3=intermediate certificate(s). 🔗
• add_p12 — one file reqd. Adds keypair to database. file is PKCS12 (e.g. export from netscape). 🗂️
• add_pem — one file reqd. Adds keypair to database. (file was converted from e.g. PKCS12). 🌈
• add_root — one file reqd. Adds PEM root certificate to the location specified within muttrc (smime_verify_* command). 🌳
