DESCRIPTION
dogtag-submit is the helper which certmonger can use to make certificate enrollment and renewal requests to Dogtag servers. It is not normally run interactively, but it can be for troubleshooting purposes. The preferred option is to request a renewal of an already-issued certificate, using its serial number, which can be read from a PEM- formatted certificate provided in the CERTMONGER_CERTIFICATE environment variable, or via the -s or -D option on the command line. If no serial number is provided, then the client will attempt to obtain a new certificate by submitting a signing request to the CA. The signing request which is to be submitted should either be in a file whose name is given as an argument, or fed into dogtag-submit via stdin. certmonger does not yet support retrieving trust information from Dogtag CAs.
OPTIONS
-E EE-URL
The top-level URL for the end-entity interface provided by the
CA, through which the initial enrollment request will be
submitted. This is typically http://SERVER:EEPORT/ca/ee/ca.
-A AGENT-URL
The top-level URL for the agent interface provided by the CA,
through which the request can be approved using agent
credentials. This is typically
https://SERVER:AGENTPORT/ca/agent/ca.
-d dbdir -n nickname -c certfile -k keyfile
The location of the key and certificate which the client should
use to authenticate to the CA's agent interface. Exactly which
values are meaningful depend on which cryptography library your
copy of libcurl was linked with.
-p pinfile
The name of a file which contains a PIN/password which will be
needed in order to make use of the agent credentials.
-i cainfo -C capath
The location of a file containing a copy of the CA's
certificate, against which the CA server's certificate will be
verified, or a directory containing, among other things, such a
file.
-s serial
The serial number of an already-issued certificate for which the
client should attempt to obtain a new certificate, in
hexadecimal form, if one can not be read from the
CERTMONGER_CERTIFICATE environment variable.
-D serial
The serial number of an already-issued certificate for which the
client should attempt to obtain a new certificate, in decimal
form, if one can not be read from the CERTMONGER_CERTIFICATE
environment variable.
-S state
A cookie value provided by a previous instance of this helper,
if the helper is being asked to continue a multi-step enrollment
process. If the CERTMONGER_COOKIE environment variable is set,
its value is used.
-T profile/template
The name of the type of certificate which the client should
request from the CA if it is not renewing a certificate (per the
-s option above). If the CERTMONGER_CA_PROFILE environment
variable is set, its value is used. Otherwise, the default
value is caServerCert.
-O param=value
An additional parameter to pass to the server when approving the
signing request using agent credentials. By default, any
server-supplied default settings are applied. This option can
be used either to override a server-supplied default setting, or
to supply one which would otherwise have not been used.
Requires the -A option.
-N Even if an already-issued certificate is available in the
CERTMONGER_CERTIFICATE environment variable, or a serial number
has been provided, don't attempt to renew a certificate using
its serial number. Instead, attempt to obtain a new certificate
using the signing request. The default behavior is to request a
renewal if possible.
-R Negates the effect of the -N flag.
-t Instead of attempting to obtain a new certificate, query the
server for a list of the enabled enrollment profiles.
-o param=value
When initially submitting a request to the CA, add the specified
parameter and value along with any request parameters which
would otherwise be sent.
-a Use agent credentials, specified using some combination of the
-d, -n, -c, and -k flags, to authenticate to the CA when
initially submitting a request to the CA or retrieving the list
of enabled enrollment profiles. This is typically required when
the enrollment profile being used uses AgentCertAuth-based
authentication, and requires that the URL specified using the -E
flag be an HTTPS URL, or when the URL specified using the -E
flag is an HTTPS URL.
-u username
When initially submitting a request to the CA, supply the
specified value as a user name. This is typically required when
the enrollment profile being used uses UidPwdDirAuth-based or
NISAuth-based authentication.
-U userdn
When initially submitting a request to the CA, supply the
specified value as the DN (distinguished name) of the user's
entry in a directory server which the CA is configured to use
for checking the user's password. This is typically required
when the enrollment profile being used uses UdnPwdDirAuth-based
authentication.
-W userpassword
When initially submitting a request to the CA, supply the
specified value as the password for the user whose name is
specified with the -u option, or whose DN is specified with the
-U option. This is typically only required when the enrollment
profile being used uses UidPwdDirAuth-based, UserPwdDirAuth-
based, or NISAuth-based authentication. If the URL specified
using the -E flag is not an HTTPS URL, this value will not be
encrypted.
-w userpasswordfile
When initially submitting a request to the CA, read from the
specified file a password to supply for the user whose name is
specified with the -u option, or whose DN is specified with the
-U option. This is typically only required when the enrollment
profile being used uses UidPwdDirAuth-based, UserPwdDirAuth-
based, or NISAuth-based authentication. If the URL specified
using the -E flag is not an HTTPS URL, this value will not be
encrypted.
-Y userpin
When initially submitting a request to the CA, supply the
specified value as the PIN for the user whose name is specified
with the -u option, or whose DN is specified with the -U option.
This is typically only required when the enrollment profile
being used uses UidPwdPinDirAuth-based authentication. If the
URL specified using the -E flag is not an HTTPS URL, this value
will not be encrypted.
-y userpinfile
When initially submitting a request to the CA, read from the
specified file a PIN to supply for the user whose name is
specified with the -u option, or whose DN is specified with the
-U option. This is typically only required when the enrollment
profile being used uses UidPwdPinDirAuth-based authentication.
If the URL specified using the -E flag is not an HTTPS URL, this
value will not be encrypted.
-v Increases the logging level. Use twice for more logging. This
option is mainly useful for troubleshooting.
EXIT STATUS
0 if the certificate was issued. The certificate will be printed.
1 if the CA is still thinking. A cookie (state) value will be
printed.
2 if the CA rejected the request. An error message may be
printed.
3 if the CA was unreachable. An error message may be printed.
4 if critical configuration information is missing. An error
message may be printed.
5 if the CA is still thinking. A suggested poll delay (specified
in seconds) and a cookie (state) value will be printed.
17 if the CA indicates that the client needs to attempt enrollment
using a new key pair.
