ssh-openpg...uthenticate(1) 👑

okay so bestie, this page is from the General Commands Manual — and the whole vibe is: fetch OpenPGP host certificates, verify them, and print host keys in SSH format when verification actually slays. 💅✨

💖 NAME 💖

ssh-openpgp-auth-authenticate — fetches OpenPGP host certificates, verifies it and prints host keys in SSH format on successful verification. periodt 🎀

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Fetches OpenPGP host certificates, verifies it and prints host keys in SSH format on successful verification. That's the whole main-character plot, no cap 🦋

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay bestie, here's every flag and argument — full list, zero skips:

  • -t, --time=TIME — Certificate time. By default now. Example: 2021-11-21T11:11:11Z ⏰
  • -c, --cert-store=CERT_STORE — Certificate store. By default uses user's shared PGP certificate directory. May also be specified with the PGP_CERT_D environment variable. 🗂️
  • --nameserver=NAMESERVER [default: 8.8.8.8:53] — Nameserver to use for DNS lookups (if enabled) 🌐
  • --verify-dns-proof — Verify Keyoxide DNS proofs of certificates 🔍
  • --verify-wot — Verify the certificates using local Web of Trust network 🕸️
  • --verbose — Print details of the verification process. Useful for debugging 🐛
  • --store-verifications — Store verification results in the OpenPGP certificate 💾
  • -h, --help — Print help 🫶
  • <HOST> — Target host to authenticate. This should be a DNS name 🌈
bestie reminder: <HOST> is the target host to authenticate, and it should be a DNS name — not a random vibe, okay? 💀

xoxo, signing off from the General Commands Manual footer — source/version and date live there, and I'm not copying the line, just sending it a kiss 💖✨
