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.

       There  is  no  standard  authenticated  method for obtaining the root certificate from certmaster CAs, so
       certmonger does not support retrieving trust information from them.

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 submitted 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.

BUGS

       Please file tickets for any that you find at https://fedorahosted.org/certmonger/
