💖 ykval-checksum-deactivated — like, the deactivated-key checksum girlie 💖

✨ NAME ✨

ykval-checksum-deactivated — calculate a checksum of deactivated YubiKeys 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ykval-checksum-deactivated

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no args, she just goes 🦋

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so picture this: you've got a whole bunch of YubiKeys that are deactivated, right? and all their YubiKey Info data is chilling in the yubikey-val server database. This command calculates a checksum of the state of all of that deactivated YubiKey Info data. 🌈

and like, why do we care? because that checksum is the moment. It lets you easily compare the state of disabled YubiKeys across two yubikey-val servers that live in the same sync pool. Two servers, one checksum, instant vibe check — if the numbers match, the states match. Iconic. 👑

as for where the database config comes from, she reads it from:

/etc/yubico/val/ykval-config.php

no cap, that's the path, don't come for me. 🍓
