VERIFY-PROXY-TOOL(1)

💅 VERIFY-PROXY-TOOL 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the verify-proxy-tool manual page — it lives in the General Commands Manual section and honestly? it's giving useful. sit down, grab a boba, we're doing certificate chain verification together 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

verify-proxy-tool — the tool that verifies a certificate chain including proxies. yes, including proxies, we love a thorough queen 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

verify-proxy-tool [-h|--help] [-d|--debug] [-q|--quiet]
[-t|--atnotbefore] [proxy]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So. This tool does a full chain check of a proxy, and it follows the exact same logic as the lcmaps_verify_proxy.mod LCMAPS plugin. like, same brain, same vibe — if you want the details, go read the corresponding man page, iykyk 📖

And here's the cute part: if you don't pass a proxy filename as that last argument, it just uses the default proxy filename for the user, which is:

/tmp/x509up_u<UID>

she knows where your proxy lives. she's got you 💖

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -d, --debug — show (debug) output! and the way that you can repeat this option to get MORE debugging output… we love a stackable queen. more -d, more tea 🔥
• -q, --quiet — show less output. it only prints errors, not warnings. demure. mindful. 🤫
• -h, --help — shows a short helptext. short and sweet, periodt.
• -t, --atnotbefore — verify the proxy chain at (5 minutes after) the 'notBefore' time of the leaf proxy instead of at the current time. yes, 5 minutes after, that's not a typo, that's literally what it does ⏰✨

👑 RETURN VALUES 👑

• 0 — verification and program succeeded. slay!! everything ate, no crumbs 💅
• 1 — a non-verification error, e.g. setup of parameters failed. not a proxy problem, a you problem 🙈
• 2 — verification error, i.e. the proxy is invalid. bestie… the proxy is not okay 😭
