NAME

       ipa-submit

SYNOPSIS

       ipa-submit [-h serverHost] [-H serverURL] [-d domain] [-L ldapurl] [-b basedn] [-c cafile]
       [-C capath] [[-K] | [-t keytab] [-k submitterPrincipal]] [-u UID] [-W PASSWORD] [-w  FILE]
       [-P principalOfRequest] [-T profile] [-X issuer] [csrfile]

DESCRIPTION

       ipa-submit  is  the helper which certmonger uses to make requests to IPA-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 ipa-submit via stdin.

       certmonger supports retrieving trusted certificates from IPA CAs.  See  getcert-request(1)
       and  getcert-resubmit(1)  for information about specifying where those certificates should
       be stored on the local system.  Trusted certificates are retrieved from the  caCertificate
       attribute  of  entries  present at and below cn=cacert,cn=ipa,cn=etc,$BASE in the IPA LDAP
       server's directory tree, where $BASE defaults to  the  value  of  the  basedn  setting  in
       /etc/ipa/default.conf.

OPTIONS

-P PRINCIPAL, --principal-of-request=PRINCIPAL
Identifies the principal name of the service for which the certificate is being
issued. This setting is required by IPA and must always be specified.

-X NAME, --issuer=NAME
Requests that the certificate be processed by the specified certificate issuer. By
default, if this flag is not specified, and the CERTMONGER_CA_ISSUER variable is
set in the environment, then the value of the environment variable will be used.
This setting is optional, and if a server returns error 3005, indicating that it
does not understand multiple profiles, the request will be re-submitted without
specifying an issuer name.

-T NAME, --profile=NAME
Requests that the certificate be processed using the specified certificate profile.
By default, if this flag is not specified, and the CERTMONGER_CA_PROFILE variable
is set in the environment, then the value of the environment variable will be used.
This setting is optional, and if a server returns error 3005, indicating that it
does not understand multiple profiles, the request will be re-submitted without
specifying a profile.

-h HOSTNAME, --host=HOSTNAME
Submit the request to the IPA server running on the named host. The default is to
read the location of the host from /etc/ipa/default.conf. If no server is
configured, or the configured server cannot be reached, the client will attempt to
use DNS discovery to locate LDAP servers for the IPA domain. If servers are found,
they will be searched for entries pointing to IPA masters running the "CA" service,
and the client will attempt to contact each of those in turn.

-H URL, --xmlrpc-url=URL
Submit the request to the IPA server at the specified location. The default is to
read the location of the host from /etc/ipa/default.conf. If no server is
configured, or the configured server cannot be reached, the client will attempt to
use DNS discovery to locate LDAP servers for the IPA domain. If servers are found,
they will be searched for entries pointing to IPA masters running the "CA" service,
and the client will attempt to contact each of those in turn.

-L URL, --ldap-url=URL
Provide the IPA LDAP service location rather than using DNS discovery. The default
is to read the location of the host from /etc/ipa/default.conf and use DNS
discovery to find the set of _ldap._tcp.DOMAIN values and pick one for use.

-d DOMAIN, --domain=DOMAIN
Use this domain when doing DNS discovery to locate LDAP servers for the IPA
installation. The default is to read the location of the host from
/etc/ipa/default.conf.

-b BASEDN, --basedn=BASEDN
Use this basedn to search for an IPA installation in LDAP. The default is to read
the location of the host from /etc/ipa/default.conf.

-c FILE, --cafile=FILE
The server's certificate was issued by the CA whose certificate is in the named
file. The default value is /etc/ipa/ca.crt.

-C PATH, --capath=DIR
Trust the server if its certificate was issued by a CA whose certificate is in a
file in the named directory. There is no default for this option, and it is not
expected to be necessary.

-t KEYTAB, --keytab=KEYTAB
Authenticate to the IPA server using Kerberos with credentials derived from keys
stored in the named keytab. The default value can vary, but it is usually
/etc/krb5.keytab. This option conflicts with the -K, -u, -W, and -w options.

-k PRINCIPAL, --submitter-principal=PRINCIPAL
Authenticate to the IPA server using Kerberos with credentials derived from keys
stored in the named keytab for this principal name. The default value is the host
service for the local host in the local realm. This option conflicts with the -K,
-u, -W, and -w options.

-K, --use-ccache-creds
Authenticate to the IPA server using Kerberos with credentials derived from the
default credential cache rather than a keytab. This option conflicts with the -k,
-u, -W, and -w options.

-u USERNAME, --uid=USERNAME
Authenticate to the IPA server using a user name and password, using the specified
value as the user name. This option conflicts with the -k, -K, and -t options.

-W PASSWORD, --pwd=PASSWORD
Authenticate to the IPA server using a user name and password, using the specified
value as the password. This option conflicts with the -k, -K, -t, and -w options.

-w FILE, --pwdfile=FILE
Authenticate to the IPA server using a user name and password, reading the password
from the specified file. This option conflicts with the -k, -K, -t, and -W
options.

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.

       17     if  the  CA  indicates  that the client needs to attempt enrollment using a new key
              pair.

FILES

       /etc/ipa/default.conf
              is the IPA client configuration file.  This file is consulted to determine the  URL
              for the IPA server's XML-RPC interface.
