✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the strongSwan manual for pki --dn — the page that literally has --DN in its title. 💖

pki --dn — extract the subject DN of an X.509 certificate. That's it, that's the whole job. 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

pki --dn [--in file] [--format format] [--debug level]

pki --dn --options file

pki --dn -h | --help

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

This sub-command of pki(1) is the one that extracts the ASN.1-encoded subject DistinguishedName (DN) of an X.509 certificate and exports it in different formats. No cap. ✨

It's lowkey useful when strongSwan's identity parser is unable to produce the correct binary encoding from a string. So if the parser is giving 💀, this is your girl. 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h, --help — Print usage information with a summary of the available options. The classic "help me bestie" button. 🙈
  • -v, --debug _level_ — Set debug level, default: 1. Turn the yapping up or down. 🔊
  • -+, --options _file_ — Read command line options from _file_. Yes, that's a literal -+, iconic. 💅
  • -i, --in _file_ — Input file. If not given the input is read from STDIN. So pipe it in, bestie. 🌈
  • -t, --format _format_ — Output format. One of config (strongSwan configuration compatible), hex (hexadecimal encoding, no prefix), base64 (Base64 encoding, no prefix), bin (raw binary data), defaults to config. Pick your vibe. 🎀
