       scep-submit

SYNOPSIS

       scep-submit  -u  SERVER-URL  [-r ra-cert-file] [-R ca-cert-file] [-I other-certs-file] [-N
       ca-cert-file] [-i ca-identifier] [-v] [-n] [-c|-C|-g|-p] [pkimessage-filename]

DESCRIPTION

       scep-submit is the helper which certmonger can use to transmit certificate enrollment  and
       renewal  requests to servers using SCEP.  It is not normally run interactively, but it can
       be for troubleshooting purposes.

       The request which is to be submitted should be a PEM-encoded SCEP pkiMessage either  in  a
       file whose name is given as an argument, or fed into scep-submit via stdin.

MODES

       -c, --retrieve-ca-capabilities
              scep-submit will issue a GetCACaps request to the server and print the results.

       -C, --retrieve-ca-certificates
              scep-submit  will  issue a GetCACert request to the server, parse the response, and
              then print, in order, the RA certificate, the CA certificate,  and  any  additional
              certificates.

       -p, --pki-message
              scep-submit  will  issue  a  PKIOperation request to the server using the passed-in
              message as the message content.  It will parse the server's  response,  verify  the
              signature,  and  if the response includes an issued certificate, it will output the
              pkcsPKIEnvelope in PEM format.  If the response indicates an error, it  will  print
              the error.

       -g, --get-initial-cert
              scep-submit  will  issue  a  PKIOperation request to the server using the passed-in
              message as the message content.  It will parse the server's  response,  verify  the
              signature,  and  if the response includes an issued certificate, it will output the
              pkcsPKIEnvelope in PEM format.  If the response indicates an error, it  will  print
              the error.

OPTIONS

-u URL, --url=URL
The location of the SCEP interface provided by the CA. This is typically
http://SERVER/cgi-bin/PKICLIENT.EXE or http://SERVER/certsrv/mscep/mscep.dll. This
option is always required.

-R FILE, --cacert=FILE
The location of the CA certificate which was used to issue the SCEP web server's
certificate in PEM form. If the URL specified with the -u option is an https URL,
then this option is required.

-N FILE, --signingca=FILE
The location of a PEM-formatted copy of the SCEP server's CA certificate. A
discovered value is normally supplied by the certmonger daemon, but one can be
specified for troubleshooting purposes.

-r FILE, --racert=FILE
The location of the SCEP server's RA certificate, which is expected to be used for
signing responses sent by the SCEP server back to the client. This option is
required when either the -g flag or the -p flag is specified.

-I FILE, --other-certs=FILE
The location of a file containing other PEM-formatted certificates which may be
needed in order to properly verify signed responses sent by the SCEP server back to
the client. This option may be necessary when either the -g flag or the -p flag is
specified.

-i NAME, --ca-identifier=NAME
When called with the -c or -C flag, this option can be used to specify the CA
identifier which is passed to the server as part of the client's request. The
default is "0".

-n, --non-renewal
The SCEP Renewal feature allows a client with a previously-issued certificate to
use that certificate and the associated private key to request a new certificate
for a different key pair, and can be used to support certmonger's rekeying feature
if the SCEP server advertises support for it. This option forces the scep-submit
helper to prefer to issue requests which do not make use of this feature.

-v, --verbose
Increases the logging level. Use twice for more logging. This option is mainly
useful for troubleshooting.

EXIT STATUS

       0      if  the  certificate was issued. The pkcsPKIEnvelope will be printed in PEM-encoded
              form.

       1      if the CA is still thinking.  A cookie (state) 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.

       5      if the CA is still thinking.  A suggested poll delay (specified in seconds)  and  a
              cookie (state) value will be printed.

       16     if the helper needs an SCEP pkiMessage, but couldn't read one.

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