SYNOPSIS
getcert resubmit [options]
DESCRIPTION
Tells certmonger to generate (or regenerate) a signing request and submit (or resubmit) the signing request to a CA for signing.
SPECIFYING REQUESTS BY NICKNAME
-i NAME
Resubmit a signing request for the tracking request which has this nickname. If this option is not specified, and a tracking entry
which matches the key and certificate storage options which are specified already exists, that entry will be used. If not speci-
fied, the location of the certificate should be specified with either a combination of the -d and -n options, or with the -f option.
SPECIFYING REQUESTS BY CERTIFICATE LOCATION
-d DIR The certificate is in the NSS database in the specified directory.
-n NAME
The certificate in the NSS database named with -d has the specified nickname. Only valid with -d.
-t TOKEN
If the NSS database has more than one token available, the certificate is stored in this token. This argument only rarely needs to
be specified. Only valid with -d.
-f FILE
The certificate is stored in the named file.
ENROLLMENT OPTIONS
-c NAME
Submit the new signing request to the specified CA rather than the one which was previously associated with this certificate. The
name of the CA should correspond to one listed by getcert list-cas.
-T NAME
Request a certificate using the named profile, template, or certtype, from the specified CA.
-I NAME
Assign the specified nickname to this task, replacing the previous nickname.
SIGNING REQUEST OPTIONS
-N NAME

-u keyUsage
Add an extensionRequest for the specified keyUsage to the signing request. The keyUsage value is expected to be one of these names:

-U EKU Change the extendedKeyUsage value specified in an extendedKeyUsage extension part of the extensionRequest attribute in the signing
request. The EKU value is expected to be an object identifier (OID).

OTHER OPTIONS

tificate.
-C command
When ever the certificate is saved to the specified location, run the specified command as the client user after saving the certifi-
cate.

diagnostic suggestion.
