NAME
       certmgr - Mono Certificate Manager (CLI version)

SYNOPSIS
       certmgr	[action]  [object  type] [options] store [filename] or certmgr
       -ssl [options] url

DESCRIPTION
       This tool allows	to list, add, remove or	extract	certificates, certifi-
       cate revocation lists (CRL) or certificate trust	lists (CTL) to/from  a
       certificate  store.  Certificate	 stores	are used to build and validate
       certificate chains for Authenticode(r) code signing validation and  SSL
       server certificates.

STORES
       The store represents the	certificate store to use. It can be one	of the
       following:

       My     This is the personal certificate store.

       AddressBook
	      This is the store	for other people.

       CA     This is a	store for intermediate certificate authorities.

       Trust  This is for trusted roots.

       Disallowed
	      This is for untrusted roots

ACTIONS
       -list  List the certificates, CTL or CTL	in the specified store.

       -add   Add a certificate, CRL or	CTL to specified store.	If filename is
	      a	 pkcs12	or pfx file, and it contains a private key, it will be
	      imported to local	key pair container.

       -del   Remove a certificate, CRL	or CTL from specified store. You  must
	      specify the object to be removed with it's hash value (and not a
	      filename).  This	hash  value is shown when doing	a -list	on the
	      store.

       -put   Copy a certificate, CRL or CTL from a store to a file.

       -ssl   Download and add the certificates	from a SSL session. You'll  be
	      asked to confirm the addition of every certificate received from
	      the server. Note that SSL/TLS protocols do not requires a	server
	      to send the root certificate.  This action assumes a certificate
	      (-c) object type and will	import the certificates	in appropriate
	      stores  (i.e.  server  certificate in the	OtherPeople store, the
	      root certificate in the Trust store and any  other  intermediate
	      certificates in the IntermediateCA store).

       -importKey
	      Allows  importing	 a private key from a pkcs12 file into a local
	      key pair store. (Useful when you already have the	 key's	corre-
	      sponding certificate installed at	the specific store.)

OBJECT TYPES
       -c , -cert , -certificate
	      Add,  Delete  or	Put  certificates.  That is the	specified file
	      must/will	contain	X.509 certificates in DER binary encoding.

       -crl   Add, Delete or Put certificate revocation	lists (CRL).  That  is
	      the specified file must/will contain X.509 CRL in	DER binary en-
	      coding.

       -ctl   Add, Delete or Put certificate trust lists (CRL).	UNSUPPORTED.

OPTIONS
       -m     Use  the	machine's  certificate	stores (instead	of the default
	      user's stores).

       -v     More details displayed on	the console.

       -p password
	      Use the specified	password when accessing	a pkcs12 file.

       -help , -h , -? , /?
	      Display help about this tool.

FILES
       WARNING:	This details the current behavior of Mono and could change be-
       tween releases.	The only safe way to interact with certificate	stores
       is  to use the certmgr tool. The	current	releases of Mono keeps all the
       user  certificate  stores  in  separates	 directories   under   ~/.con-
       fig/.mono/certs/

       For example the trusted root certificates for a user would be kept un-
       der
	      ~/.config/.mono/certs/Trust/

       Certificates files are kept in DER (binary) format (extension .cer).

       The filenames either start with
	      tbp (thumbprint) or ski (subject key identifier).

       The rest	of the filename	is the base64-encoded value (tbp or ski).

       Private key data	is stored under
	      ~/.config/.mono/keypairs/

EXAMPLES
       mono certmgr.exe	-list -c -m Trust
	      List all certificates in the machine Trust store.	This will dis-
	      play the hash value for each certificate.	This value can be used
	      to  identify  uniquely  a	 certificate for some operations (e.g.
	      delete).		   E.g.		     Unique		 Hash:
	      FFA3AC0084DA1673B5A031EBB2156B3E8FBBF6D8

       mono certmgr.exe	-del -c	-m Trust
       FFA3AC0084DA1673B5A031EBB2156B3E8FBBF6D8
	      Remove  the certificate, represented by the hash value, from the
	      machine Trust store. Note	that the machine store is normally re-
	      stricted.	The following error message will appear	if the current
	      user doesn't have	the minimum access rights to remove  the  cer-
	      tificate:	 Access	 to  the machine 'Trust' certificate store has
	      been denied.

       certmgr -ssl https://www.verisign.com
	      Import certificates from www.verisign.com	 used  for  HTTP  over
	      SSL.   See   KNOWN  ISSUES  (MD2)	 if  you're  downloading  from
	      www.verisign.com.

       certmgr -ssl ldaps://www.nldap.com:636
	      Import the certificates from www.nldap.com used for secure LDAP.
	      This works even if we don't know how to speak  LDAP  because  we
	      stop  the	 communication	shortly	after the SSL handshake	(which
	      gives us the certificate).

KNOWN ISSUES
       MD2    Some Certificate Authorities (CA)	old root certificates use  the
	      MD2  hash	 algorithm.  MD2  is  old enough not to	be part	of the
	      standard .NET framework.	This makes it impossible to validate a
	      digital signature	made with MD2. For this	reason MD2 is included
	      in the Mono.Security.dll assembly.  However  the	machine.config
	      file must	be updated so the OID for MD2 is known at runtime.

	      To  correct  this	 insert	 the  following	XML snippet inside the
	      <configuration> element of your machine.config file.
