POLICYAUTHORIZE(1)

💖 POLICYAUTHORIZE(1) — the manual page, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the User Commands section of the manual, where we're talking about policyauthorize and nothing else. no cap, this one's short but it's got range. 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

policyauthorize — runs TPM2_PolicyAuthorize. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so first things first, and I need you to hear me on this:

--version-string=v1045 is not a valid option 🫶

not a valid option, bestie. it's giving "I tried to be clever and the parser said no." noted. moving on. 😭

so, policyauthorize — it runs TPM2_PolicyAuthorize. main character energy, honestly. 👑

here's the tea on the arguments:

• -ha — policy session handle. that's the handle of the policy session you're working with, bestie. ✨
• -appr — file name of digest of the policy being approved. like, the digest, in a file, of the policy that's getting the approval. 🎀
• [-pref policyRef file ] — (default none). yep, the default is literally none, she said "I'm not doing extra credit." 🌸
• -skn — signing key Name file name. a Name file for the signing key, and yes it says "file name" twice in spirit, we don't make the rules. 💜
• -tk — ticket file name. ticket. file. name. 🎟️
• -se[0-2] — session handle / attributes (default PWAP). and the [0-2] means you can pick which one you want, okay diva? 🌈
  • 01 — continue. that's the one value listed, and it means continue. slay. ✅

and now... because the manual page is iconic and loves a rerun, it does the whole thing again. not me being handed the same paragraph twice. 🙈 anyway, here it is again, exactly as written, because I refuse to skip a single crumb:

--version is not a valid option 💀

again!! not valid!! okay!!
