💖 activatecredential 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the <rainbow>activatecredential</rainbow> page from the User Commands part of the manual (it's manual page ACTIVATECREDENTIAL(1), yes the title is in ALL CAPS, it's giving vintage ✨). Sit down, hydrate, and let's get into it. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

activatecredential — runs TPM2_Activatecredential. that's it. that's the whole job. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so first things first, we gotta be real:

--version-string=v1045 is not a valid option. like, not it. do not pass this. 🚫

activatecredential

Runs TPM2_ActivateCredential

  • -ha — activation handle of the object associated with the certificate 🎀
  • -hk — handle of the loaded decryption key 🔑
  • -icred — input credential file name
  • -is — secret file name

then the optional little extras, grouped exactly like the page does:

  • [-pwda password for activation key (default empty)] [-pwdk password for decryption key (default empty)] — passwords, both default to empty, no cap 🙈
  • [-ocred output credential file name (default do not save)] — if you don't say anything, it literally just does not save. default vibe is silence. 💀
  • -se[0-2] — session handle / attributes (default PWAP)
    • 01 continue
    • 20 command decrypt
    • 40 response encrypt

then, and this is the part where the manpage just... does the whole thing again, main character energy fr fr:

--version is not a valid option. again. still no. 🛑

Runs TPM2_ActivateCredential

  • -ha — activation handle of the object associated with the certificate 🎀
  • -hk — handle of the loaded decryption key 🔑
  • -icred — input credential file name
  • -is — secret file name

the optional group, round two:

  • [-pwda password for activation key (default empty)] [-pwdk password for decryption key (default empty)] — defaults are empty for both, as ever 💜
  • [-ocred output credential file name (default do not save)] — default is do not save, iykyk
  • -se[0-2] — session handle / attributes (default PWAP)
    • 01 continue
    • 20 command decrypt
    • 40 response encrypt

like yes it's duplicated. no we're not skipping it. every single detail stays, periodt. 👑
