<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
The <B>dirmngr-client</B> is a simple tool to contact a running
|
|
dirmngr and test whether a certificate has been revoked --- either by
|
|
being listed in the corresponding CRL or by running the OCSP protocol.
|
|
If no dirmngr is running, a new instances will be started but this is
|
|
in general not a good idea due to the huge performance overhead.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
The usual way to run this tool is either:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<DL COMPACT><DT id="1"><DD>
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
dirmngr-client <I>acert</I>
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
</DL>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
or
|
|
<P>
|
|
<DL COMPACT><DT id="2"><DD>
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
dirmngr-client <<I>acert</I>
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
</DL>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Where <I>acert</I> is one DER encoded (binary) X.509 certificates to be
|
|
tested.

|
|
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
|
|
|
|
<B>dirmngr-client</B> returns these values:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT id="3"><B>0</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
The certificate under question is valid; i.e. there is a valid CRL
|
|
available and it is not listed there or the OCSP request returned that
|
|
that certificate is valid.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<DT id="4"><B>1</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
The certificate has been revoked
|
|
<P>
|
|
<DT id="5"><B>2 (and other values)</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
There was a problem checking the revocation state of the certificate.
|
|
A message to stderr has given more detailed information. Most likely
|
|
this is due to a missing or expired CRL or due to a network problem.

<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
<B>dirmngr-client</B> may be called with the following options:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT id="6"><B>--version</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Print the program version and licensing information. Note that you cannot
|
|
abbreviate this command.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<DT id="7"><B>--help, -h</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Print a usage message summarizing the most useful command-line options.
|
|
Note that you cannot abbreviate this command.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<DT id="8"><B>--quiet, -q</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Make the output extra brief by suppressing any informational messages.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<DT id="9"><B>-v</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
<DT id="10"><B>--verbose</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Outputs additional information while running.
|
|
You can increase the verbosity by giving several
|
|
verbose commands to <B>dirmngr</B>, such as '-vv'.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<DT id="11"><B>--pem</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Assume that the given certificate is in PEM (armored) format.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<DT id="12"><B>--ocsp</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Do the check using the OCSP protocol and ignore any CRLs.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<DT id="13"><B>--force-default-responder</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
When checking using the OCSP protocol, force the use of the default OCSP
|
|
responder. That is not to use the Reponder as given by the certificate.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<DT id="14"><B>--ping</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Check whether the dirmngr daemon is up and running.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<DT id="15"><B>--cache-cert</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Put the given certificate into the cache of a running dirmngr. This is
|
|
mainly useful for debugging.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<DT id="16"><B>--validate</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Validate the given certificate using dirmngr's internal validation code.
|
|
This is mainly useful for debugging.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<DT id="17"><B>--load-crl</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
This command expects a list of filenames with DER encoded CRL files.
|
|
With the option <B>--url</B> URLs are expected in place of filenames
|
|
and they are loaded directly from the given location. All CRLs will be
|
|
validated and then loaded into dirmngr's cache.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<DT id="18"><B>--lookup</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Take the remaining arguments and run a lookup command on each of them.
|
|
The results are Base-64 encoded outputs (without header lines). This
|
|
may be used to retrieve certificates from a server. However the output
|
|
format is not very well suited if more than one certificate is returned.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<DT id="19"><B>--url</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
|
|
<B>-u</B>
|
|
|
|
Modify the <B>lookup</B> and <B>load-crl</B> commands to take an URL.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<DT id="20"><B>--local</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
|
|
<B>-l</B>
|
|
|
|
Let the <B>lookup</B> command only search the local cache.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<DT id="21"><B>--squid-mode</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Run <B>dirmngr-client</B> in a mode suitable as a helper program for
|
|
Squid's <B>external_acl_type</B> option.
