#2376 [MAN] pki-client manpage needs info about client-cert-validate command
Closed: migrated by dmoluguw. Opened by nkinder.

Reopen Issue

The 'client-cert-validate' subcommand was added to the 'pki' CLI in Dogtag 10.3.x. The 'pki-client' man page still needs to be updated to describe how to use this command.

We need to make sure to include details on the format of the --certusage option, as it's unclear what is expected from the usage message:

 usage: client-cert-validate nickname
    --certusage <certusage>   Certificate usage.
    --help                    Show help options

Based on the code the following usages are supported:

  • !CheckAllUsages
  • SSLServer
  • SSLServerWithStepUp
  • SSLClient
  • SSLCA
  • AnyCA
  • !StatusResponder
  • !ObjectSigner
  • !UserCertImport
  • !ProtectedObjectSigner
  • VerifyCA
  • !EmailSigner

The following usage probably should have been supported as well, but it's missing from the code:

  • !EmailRecipient

If no usage is specified, the command will show the usages that the certificate supports.

Per PKI Bug Council of 06/23/2016: 10.3.4

In ticket #2399 the CLI help message has been modified to list the supported usages. Also the missing EmailRecipient has been added.
