OPTIONS

       The CLI options are described in pki(1).

OPERATIONS

       To  view  available  profile  commands, type pki ca-profile. To view each command's usage,
       type  pki ca-profile-<command> --help.

       All the ca-profile commands require CA agent authentication.

   Viewing the profiles
       pki <CA agent authentication> ca-profile-find

       The results can be paged using the --start and --size options described in pki(1).

       To view the contents of a profile:

       A set of profile inputs, profile outputs, authenticators,  policies  and  constraints  are
       defined in a profile.  These contents can be viewed using the following command:

       pki <CA agent authentication> ca-profile-show <profile ID>

       To store the output of the above operation, the output option must be specified.

       pki <CA agent authentication> ca-profile-show <profile ID> --output <file path>

       This  output file can be used for modifying the profile.  It can be used as a template for
       certificate enrollment as well but, a more suitable template can be fetched using the  pki
       cert-request-profile-show  command.   The  pki  cert-request-profile-show command does not
       require an agent/administrator level authentication and contains only the  profile  inputs
       section (which is required for certificate enrollment).

   Add/Modify/Delete a profile
       pki <CA admin authentication> ca-profile-add <input file path>

       The  contents  of  the input file must be in an XML format returned by the ca-profile-show
       command.  This data will be marshaled by the CLI client to create a new profile in the CA.
       The  profile must be disabled before it is modified. It must be enabled after modification
       to be used for certificate enrollment.

       To modify an existing profile:

       pki <CA admin authentication> ca-profile-mod <input file path>

       The profile data can be retrieved using the ca-profile-show command and after editing  the
       file, it can be provided to the profile-mod command to modify an existing profile.

       To delete a profile in the CA:

       pki <CA admin authentication> ca-profile-del <profile ID>

   Enabling/Disabling a profile in the CA
       To enable a profile in the CA:

       pki <CA agent authenticaton> ca-profile-enable <profile ID>

       A profile must be enabled before it can be used.

       To disable a profile in the CA:

       pki <CA agent authentication> ca-profile-disable <profile ID>

       A profile must be disabled before it can be modified.

       Note:  Modifying  or  deleting  a  profile requires user(s) that have two roles (admin and
       agent).  The same user may be in both roles.  An agent is  needed  to  first  disable  the
       profile.   Once  the  profile  is  disabled,  it can be modified/deleted by an admin user.
       Then, an agent is needed to enable the profile for use by the CA.
