NAME

       certmaster-submit

SYNOPSIS

       certmaster-submit [-h serverHost] [-c cafile] [-C capath] [csrfile]

DESCRIPTION

       certmaster-submit  is the helper which certmonger uses to make requests to certmaster-based CAs.  It is not normally run interactively, but
       it can be for troubleshooting purposes.	The signing request which is to be submitted should either be in a file whose name is given as	an
       argument, or fed into certmaster-submit via stdin.

OPTIONS

       -h serverHost
	      Submit  the  request  to	the  certmaster  instance  running  on	the  named  host.   The default is localhost:51235 if a file named
	      /var/run/certmaster.pid is found on the local system, and is read from /etc/certmaster/minion.conf if that file is not found.

       -c cafile
	      Submit the request over HTTPS instead of HTTP, and only trust the server if its certificate was issued by the CA	whose  certificate
	      is in the named file.

       -C capath
	      Submit  the request over HTTPS instead of HTTP, and only trust the server if its certificate was issued by a CA whose certificate is
	      in a file in the named directory.

EXIT STATUS

       0      if the certificate was issued. The certificate will be printed.

       1      if the CA is still thinking.  A cookie 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.

FILES

       /var/run/certmaster.pid
	      the certmaster service's PID file.  Its presence is taken to indicate that this system is a CA, and that requests should be  submit-
	      ted to a certmaster server running on the local system.

       /etc/certmaster/minion.conf
	      the certmaster minion configuration file.  If there is no indication that the local system is a certmaster server, then this file is
	      consulted to determine the location of the certmaster server.

KNOWN BUGS

       Checking for the existence of certmaster's PID file is a terrible way to figure out whether we're a minion or not.
