EUREPHIADM-CERTS(7)
π EUREPHIADM-CERTS π
okay bestie, so this is the eurephiadm certs manual β page 7, part of the eurephiadm family. it's your whole cert-management era. let's get into it. π
β¨ NAME β¨
eurephiadm-certs β certificate management for eurephia π¦
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
so there's a certificate command, and it's giving β¨optionsβ¨. here are all the modes you can vibe with:
-A|--addβ register a brand new certificate π-D|--deleteβ delete a certificate that's already registered ποΈ-l|--listβ list every single registered certificate π-h|--help <mode>β help, but specifically about one mode π
π₯ LIST MODE π₯
the list mode lists all the registered certificates. it takes exactly one parameter:
-S|--sort <sort key>β decides the sort order of the certificate list π€
the sort keys you can use are:
certidβ numeric certificate ID π’depthβ certificate depth π³οΈdigestβ certificate SHA1 digest πcnameβ certificate Common Name field πorgβ certificate organisation field π’emailβ certificate e-mail address field π§registeredβ when the certificate was registered in eurephia β°
π ADD MODE π
the add mode registers a new certificate. main character energy fr fr.
-d|--depthβ certificate depth, required (yes bestie, you literally cannot skip this one) β οΈ-D|--digestβ SHA1 fingerprint/digest of the new certificate π-C|--common-nameβ Common name (CN) field of the certificate π-O|--organisationβ Organisation (O) field of the certificate π’-E|--emailβ e-mail address (emailAddress) of the certificate π§
so the tea on depth: usually you want the certificate depth value to be 0 if you're registering user account certificates. CA certificates usually have a value bigger than 0. iykyk. π
if you actually have the certificate file on hand, you can use these next options to grab all the info you need straight out of a certificate file instead of typing it all in:
-f|--certfileβ file name of the certificate file π-p|--pkcs12β if the file is in PKCS#12 format π¦
the default format is PEM format, unless --pkcs12 is given. and listen, these two options cannot be used together with -D, -C, -O or -E. pick a lane bestie. π« but the certificate depth must still be given, to indicate the certificate depth.
ποΈ DELETE MODE ποΈ
the delete mode removes a certificate from the certificate database. it's giving spring cleaning.
-i|--certidβ indicates a unique certificate ID π-d|--digestβ a unique SHA1 fingerprint/digest value π-C|--common-nameβ Common Name (CN) field of a certificate π-O|--organisationβ Organisation (O) field of a certificate π’-E|--emailβ e-mail address (emailAddress) of a certificate π§
you can use any of these parameters to indicate a search criteria for the certificate (or certificates) you want to delete. π then you'll be provided with a list of certificates matching your search criteria, and you'll need to approve the deletion of the matching certificate(s). no accidental deletions around here, we check first. β
