UPDATE-CA-CERTIFICATES(8) System Manager's Manual UPDATE-CA-CERTIFICATES(8)
NAME
update-ca-certificates - update /etc/ssl/certs and certificates.crt
SYNOPSIS
update-ca-certificates [options]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the update-ca-certificates commands. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution.
update-ca-certificates is a program that updates the directory /etc/ssl/certs to hold SSL certificates and generates certificates.crt, a
concatenated single-file list of certificates.
It reads the file /etc/ca-certificates.conf. Each line gives a pathname of a CA certificate under /usr/share/ca-certificates that should be
trusted. Lines that begin with "#" are comment lines and thus ignored. Lines that begin with "!" are deselected, causing the deactivation
of the CA certificate in question.
Furthermore all certificates found below /usr/local/share/ca-certificates are also included as implicitly trusted.
Before terminating, update-ca-certificates invokes run-parts on /etc/ca-certificates/update.d and calls each hook with a list of certifi-
cates: those added are prefixed with a +, those removed are prefixed with a -.
