NAME
     pki --est - Enroll an X.509 certificate with an EST server

SYNOPSIS
     pki --est ---url url [--label label] [--in file] --cacert file [--cert
	       file|--certid hex --key file|--keyid hex]
	       [--userpass username:password] [--interval time]
	       [--maxpolltime time] [--outform encoding] [--debug level]
     pki --est --options file
     pki --est -h | --help

DESCRIPTION
     This sub-command of pki(1) sends a PKCS#10 certificate request via HTTPS to
     a	server	using  the  Enrollment over Secure Transport (EST) Protocol (RFC
     7030). After successful authorization which with manual authentication  re-
     quires periodic polling by the enrollment client, the EST server returns an
     X.509 certificate signed by the CA.

     Before  the  expiry  of  the  current certificate, a new client certificate
     based on a fresh private key can be requested, using  the	old  certificate
     and  the  old  key  for  automatic  TLS  client authentication with the EST
     server.

OPTIONS
     -h, --help
	    Print usage information with a summary of the available options.

     -v, --debug level
	    Set debug level, default: 1.

     -+, --options file
	    Read command line options from file.

     -u, --url url
	    URL of the EST server.

     -l, --label label
	    Label in the EST server path.

     -i, --in file
	    PKCS#10 certificate request. If not given, the  certificate  request
	    is read from STDIN.

     -C, --cacert file
	    CA	certificate in the trust chain used for EST TLS server signature
	    verification or in the trust chain to verify the client  certificate
	    issued by the CA.  Can be used multiple times.

     -c, --cert file
	    Client certificate to be renewed.

     -X, --certid hex
	    Smartcard or TPM 2.0 client certificate object handle.

     -k, --key file
	    Client private key to be replaced.

     -x, --keyid hex
	    Smartcard or TPM 2.0 client private key object handle.

     -p, --userpass username:password
	    Optional username:password that may be used for HTTP basic authenti-
	    cation.

     -t, --interval time
	    Poll  interval  in	seconds,  defaults  to 60s. This value might get
	    overridden by the retry-after header in the HTTP 202 reply from  the
	    EST server.

     -m, --maxpolltime time
	    Maximum  poll  time  in seconds, defaults to 0 which means unlimited
	    polling.

     -f, --outform encoding
	    Encoding of the created certificate file. Either der (ASN.1 DER)  or
	    pem (Base64 PEM), defaults to der.

EXAMPLES
     To save some typing work the following command line options are stored in a
     est.opt file:

     --url https://pki.strongswan.org:8443
     --cacert tlsca.crt
     --cacert tlsca-1.crt
     --cacert myca.crt
     --cacert myca-1.crt

     NOTE: For a successful HTTPS connection, trust must be established into the
     EST  server certificate. The TLS trust chain including the root CA certifi-
     cate and optionally intermediate CA certificates must be given using multi-
     ple --cacert options.

     The --cacert option must also be used to be able  to  verify  the	received
     client certificate issued by the CA. This second trust chain might be iden-
     tical  to the TLS trust chain (if the EST server is using a TLS server cer-
     tificate issued by its own CA) or might be totally  different,  e.g.  if  a
     Let's Encrypt EST server certificate is used.

     With the following command, an X.509 certificate signed by the intermediate
     CA is requested from an EST server based on a PKCS#10 certificate request:

     pki --options est.opt --in moonReq.der > moonCert.der

     negotiated TLS 1.3 using suite TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
     received TLS server certificate 'C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, CN=pki.strongswan.org'
       using certificate "C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, CN=pki.strongswan.org"
       using trusted intermediate ca certificate "C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, CN=strongSwan Issuing CA"
       using trusted ca certificate "C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, CN=strongSwan Root CA"
       reached self-signed root ca with a path length of 1
       EST request pending, polling indefinitely every 300 seconds
       going to sleep for 300 seconds
       ...
     Issued certificate "C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, CN=moon.strongswan.org"
       serial: 1a:ff:de:66:d9:38:ea:d5:b6:da
       using certificate "C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, CN=moon.strongswan.org"
       using trusted intermediate ca certificate "C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, CN=strongSwan Issuing CA"
       using trusted ca certificate "C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, CN=strongSwan Root CA"
       reached self-signed root ca with a path length of 1
     Issued certificate is trusted, valid from Aug 22 15:19:43 2022 until Aug 22 15:19:43 2023 (currently valid)

     This  certificate	can be renewed some time before it expires with the com-
     mand:

     pki --options est.opt --in moonReqNew.der --cert moonCert.der --key moonKey.der > moonCertNew.der

     negotiated TLS 1.3 using suite TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
     received TLS server certificate 'C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, CN=pki.strongswan.org'
       using certificate "C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, CN=pki.strongswan.org"
       using trusted intermediate ca certificate "C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, CN=strongSwan Issuing CA"
       using trusted ca certificate "C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, CN=strongSwan Root CA"
       reached self-signed root ca with a path length of 1
     sending TLS client certificate 'C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, CN=moon.strongswan.org'
     sending TLS intermediate certificate 'C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, CN=strongSwan Issuing CA'
     Issued certificate "C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, CN=moon.strongswan.org"
       serial: 1b:ff:ad:dc:2f:50:c4:cb:a1:44
       using certificate "C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, CN=moon.strongswan.org"
       using trusted intermediate ca certificate "C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, CN=strongSwan Issuing CA"
       using trusted ca certificate "C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, CN=strongSwan Root CA"
       reached self-signed root ca with a path length of 1
     Issued certificate is trusted, valid from Jul 20 12:21:00 2023 until Jul 20 12:21:00 2024 (currently valid)

     If the private key and the certificate of the client is  stored  in  a  TPM
     2.0, the renewal can be done with the following options:

     pki --options est.opt --in moonReqNew.der --certid 0x01800004 --keyid 0x81010004 > moonCertNew.der
