✨ NAME ✨

ykval-checksum-clients — Calculate a checksum of all Client Info data.

like... that's it. that's the whole job. she's giving accountant energy and honestly? iconic. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ykval-checksum-clients

no args. no nothing. just type her name and go, fr fr. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea. ykval-checksum-clients calculates a checksum using the id, active, and secret fields of all Client Info data in the yubikey-val server database. 🔥

and why do we care? because that checksum is the easiest way to compare the state of clients in two yubikey-val servers sitting in the same sync pool. same checksum, same vibes. different checksum, something's off and you gotta go look. it's giving "vibe check but for databases". ✨

database configuration is read from /etc/yubico/val/ykval-config.php — so that file is the main character here, she's the one who knows where the DB lives. 👑
