TRUST(1) User Commands TRUST(1)
NAME trust - Tool for operating on the trust policy store
SYNOPSIS trust list
trust extract --filter=<what> --format=<type> /path/to/destination
trust anchor /path/to/certificate.crt
trust dump
DESCRIPTION trust is a command line tool to examine and modify the shared trust policy store.
See the various sub commands below. The following global options can be used:
-v, --verbose Run in verbose mode with debug output.
-q, --quiet Run in quiet mode without warning or failure messages.
LIST List trust policy store items.
$ trust list
List information about the various items in the trust policy store. Each item is listed with it's PKCS#11 URI and some descriptive information.
You can specify the following options to control what to list.
--filter=<what> Specifies what certificates to extract. You can specify the following values:
ca-anchors Certificate anchors
trust-policy Anchors and blocklist (default)
blocklist Distrusted certificates
certificates All certificates
pkcs11:object=xx A PKCS#11 URI to filter with
If an output format is chosen that cannot support type what has been specified by the filter, a message will be printed. Limit to certificates usable for the given purpose You can specify one of the following values:
server-auth For authenticating servers
client-auth For authenticating clients
email For email protection
code-signing For authenticated signed code
1.2.3.4.5... An arbitrary purpose OID

ANCHOR Store or remove trust anchors.
$ trust anchor /path/to/certificate.crt $ trust anchor --remove /path/to/certificate.crt $ trust anchor --remove "pkcs11:id=%AA%BB%CC%DD%EE;type=cert"
Store or remove trust anchors in the trust policy store. These are usually root certificate authorities.
Specify either the --store or --remove operations. If no operation is specified then --store is assumed.
When storing, one or more certificate files are expected on the command line. These are stored as anchors, unless they are already present.
When removing an anchor, either specify certificate files or PKCS#11 URI's on the command line. Matching anchors will be removed.
It may be that this command needs to be run as root in order to modify the system trust policy store, if no user specific store is available.
You can specify the following options.
--remove Remove one or more anchors from the trust policy store. Specify certificate files or PKCS#11 URI's on the command line.
--store Store one or more anchors to the trust policy store. Specify certificate files on the command line.
EXTRACT Extract trust policy from the shared trust policy store.
$ trust extract --format=x509-directory --filter=ca-anchors /path/to/directory
You can specify the following options to control what to extract. The --filter and --format arguments should be specified. By default this command will not overwrite the destination file or directory. following values:
ca-anchors Certificate anchors (default)
trust-policy Anchors and blocklist
blocklist Distrusted certificates
certificates All certificates
pkcs11:object=xx A PKCS#11 URI
If an output format is chosen that cannot support type what has been specified by the filter, a message will be printed.
None of the available formats support storage of blocklist entries that do not contain a full certificate. Thus any certificates distrusted by their issuer and serial number alone, are not included in the extracted blocklist.
--format=<type> The format of the destination file or directory. You can specify one of the following values:
x509-file DER X.509 certificate file
x509-directory directory of X.509 certificates
pem-bundle File containing one or more certificate PEM blocks
pem-directory Directory of PEM files each containing one certificate
pem-directory-hash Directory of PEM files each containing one certificate, with hash symlinks
openssl-bundle OpenSSL specific PEM bundle of certificates
openssl-directory Directory of OpenSSL specific PEM files
java-cacerts Java keystore 'cacerts' certificate bundle

--overwrite Overwrite output file or directory.
--purpose=<usage> For authenticating clients
email For email protection
code-signing For authenticated signed code
1.2.3.4.5... An arbitrary purpose OID

EXTRACT COMPAT Extract compatibility trust certificate bundles.
$ trust extract-compat
OpenSSL, Java and some versions of GnuTLS cannot currently read trust information directly from the trust policy store. This command extracts trust information such as certificate anchors for use by these libraries.
What this command does, and where it extracts the files is distribution or site specific. Packagers or administrators are expected customize this command.
DUMP Dump PKCS#11 items in the various tokens.
$ trust dump
Dump information about the various PKCS#11 items in the tokens. Each item is dumped with it's PKCS#11 URI and information in the .p11-kit persistence format.
You can specify the following options to control what to dump.
--filter=<what> Specifies what certificates to extract. You can specify the following values:
all All objects. This is the default
pkcs11:object=xx A PKCS#11 URI to filter with
