NAME

       certwatch - generate SSL certificate expiry warnings

SYNOPSIS

       certwatch [OPTION...] filename

DESCRIPTION

       The certwatch program is used to issue warning mail when an SSL certificate is about to expire.

       The program has two modes of operation: normal mode and quiet mode. In normal mode, the certificate given by the filename argument is
       examined, and a warning email is issued to standard output if the certificate is outside its validity period, or approaching expiry. If the
       certificate cannot be found, or any errors occur whilst parsing the certificate, the certificate is ignored and no output is produced. In
       quiet mode, no output is given, but the exit status can still be used.

       The certificate can be specified by its nickname or by a path to the containing file.

OPTIONS

       --quiet, -q
	   Enable quiet mode; no output is produced whether the certificate is expired or not

       --period days, -p days
	   Specify the number of days within which an expiry warning will be produced; default is 30. Expiry warnings are always produced if, on
	   the day of invocation, the certificate is not yet valid, has already expired, or is due to expire either that day or the following day.

       --address address, -a address
	   Specify the address used in the To field of the warning e-mail issued if quiet mode is not enabled. The default is root.

       --directory cert-directory, -d cert-directory
	   Specify the database directory containing the certificate and key database files. The default is yet to be determined.

DIAGNOSTICS

       The exit code indicates the state of the certificate:

       0
	   The certificate is outside its validity period, or approaching expiry

       1
	   The certificate is inside its validity period, or could not be parsed

NOTES

       The certwatch program is run daily by crond from the file /etc/cron.daily/certwatch to generate warning mail concerning the imminent expiry
       of SSL certificates configured for use in the Apache HTTP server. These warnings can be disabled by adding the line: NOCERTWATCH=yes to the
       file /etc/sysconfig/httpd. Additional options to pass to certwatch can be specified in that file in the CERTWATCH_OPTS environment
       variable.

FILES

       /etc/cron.daily/certwatch, /etc/sysconfig/httpd

NAME

       eurephiadm-certs - Certificate management for eurephia

DESCRIPTION

       Available modes for the certificate command are:

       -A | --add
	      Register a new certificate

       -D | --delete
	      Delete a registered certificate

       -l | --list
	      List all registered certificates

       -h | --help <mode>
	      Help about a specific mode

LIST MODE

       The list mode will list all registered certificates.  It accepts one parameter:

       -S | --sort <sort key>
	      Decide the sort order of the certificate list

       Available sort keys are:

	      certid
	       Numeric certificate ID

	      depth
	       Certificate depth

	      digest
	       Certificate SHA1 digest

	      cname
	       Certificate Common Name field

	      org
	       Certificate organisation field

	      email
	       Certificate e-mail address field

	      registered
	       When the certificate was registered in eurephia.

ADD MODE

       The add mode will register a new certificate.

       -d | --depth
	      Certificate depth, required.

       -D | --digest
	      SHA1 fingerprint/digest of the new certificate

       -C | --common-name
	      Common name (CN) field of the certificate

       -O | --organisation
	      Organisation (O) field of the certificate

       -E | --email
	      e-mail address (emailAddress) of the certificate

       Usually	the  certificate depth value needs to be 0, if you are registering user account certificates. CA certificates usually have a value
       bigger than 0.

       If you have the certificate file available, you can use the following options to retrieve the needed information directly from  a  certifi-
       cate file.

       -f | --certfile
	      File name of the certificate file.

       -p | --pkcs12
	      If the file is in PKCS#12 format.

       The default format is PEM format, unless --pkcs12 is given.  These two options cannot be used together with -D, -C, -O or -E.  But the cer-
       tificate depth must be given to indicate the certificate depth.

DELETE MODE

       The delete mode will remove a certificate from the certificate database.

       -i | --certid
	      Indicates a unique certificate ID

       -d | --digest
	      A unique SHA1 fingerprint/digest value

       -C | --common-name
	      Common Name (CN) field of a certificate

       -O | --organisation
	      Organisation (O) field of a certificate

       -E | --email
	      e-mail address (emailAddress) of a certificate

       You can use any of these parameters to indicate a search criteria for the certificate (or certificates) you want to delete.   You  will	be
       provided  with  a  list over certificates which matches your search criteria and you will need to approve the deletion of the matching cer-
       tificate(s).
