NAME
certctl - tool for managing trusted and untrusted TLS certificates
SYNOPSIS
certctl [-v] list
certctl [-v] untrusted
certctl [-nUv] [-D destdir] [-M metalog] rehash
certctl [-nv] untrust file
certctl [-nv] trust file
DESCRIPTION
The certctl utility manages the list of TLS Certificate Authorities that
are trusted by applications that use OpenSSL.
Flags:
-D destdir
Specify the DESTDIR (overriding values from the environment).
-d distbase
Specify the DISTBASE (overriding values from the environment).
-M metalog
Specify the path of the METALOG file (default: $DESTDIR/METALOG).
-n No-Op mode, do not actually perform any actions.
-v Be verbose, print details about actions before performing them.
-U Unprivileged mode, do not change the ownership of created links.
Do record the ownership in the METALOG file.
Primary command functions:
list List all currently trusted certificate authorities.
untrusted List all currently untrusted certificates.
rehash Rebuild the list of trusted certificate authorities by
scanning all directories in TRUSTPATH and all untrusted
certificates in UNTRUSTPATH. A symbolic link to each trusted
certificate is placed in CERTDESTDIR and each untrusted
certificate in UNTRUSTDESTDIR.
untrust Add the specified file to the untrusted list.
trust Remove the specified file from the untrusted list.
ENVIRONMENT
DESTDIR Alternate destination directory to operate on.
DISTBASE Additional path component to include when operating on
certificate directories.
TRUSTPATH List of paths to search for trusted certificates.
Default: <DESTDIR><DISTBASE>/usr/share/certs/trusted
<DESTDIR><DISTBASE>/usr/local/share/certs
CERTDESTDIR Destination directory for symbolic links to trusted
certificates. Default: <DESTDIR><DISTBASE>/etc/ssl/certs
UNTRUSTDESTDIR Destination directory for symbolic links to untrusted
certificates. Default:
<DESTDIR><DISTBASE>/etc/ssl/untrusted
EXTENSIONS List of file extensions to read as certificate files.
Default: *.pem *.crt *.cer *.crl *.0
