PKI --SCEPCA(1) 		   strongSwan			 PKI --SCEPCA(1)

NAME
     pki --scepca - Get CA [and RA] certificate[s] from a SCEP server

SYNOPSIS
     pki --scepca --url url [--caout file] [--raout file] [--outform encoding]
		  [--force] [--debug level]
     pki --scepca --options file
     pki --scepca -h | --help

DESCRIPTION
     This sub-command of pki(1) gets CA and RA certificates via http from a SCEP
     server  using  the  GetCACert  command of the Simple Certificate Enrollment
     Protocol (RFC 8894).

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 SCEP server.

     -c, --caout file
	    If present, path where the	fetched  root  CA  certificate	file  is
	    stored  to.   If  several  CA  certificates are downloaded, then the
	    value of --caout is used as a template to  derive  unique  filenames
	    (*-1,  *-2, etc.) for the intermediate or sub CA certificates.  If a
	    file suffix is missing, then depending on the value of --outform ei-
	    ther .der (the default) or .pem is automatically appended.	 If  the
	    --caout option is missing and --outform is set to pem then a PEM-en-
	    coded CA certificate bundle is written to stdout.

     -r, --raout file
	    If present, path where the fetched RA certificate file is stored to.
	    If multiple RA certificates are available, then the value of --raout
	    is used as a template to derive unique filenames (*-2, etc.). If the
	    --raout  option  is  missing, then the value of --caout is used as a
	    template to derive unique filenames (*-ra, *-ra-2, etc.) for the  RA
	    certificates.  If  a  file	suffix is missing, then depending on the
	    value of --outform either .der (the default) or  .pem  is  automati-
	    cally appended.

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

     -F, --force
	    Force overwrite of existing files.

EXAMPLES
     A SCEP server sends a root CA and an intermediate CA certificate as well as
     an RA certificate:

     pki --scepca --url http://pki.strongswan.org:8080/scep --caout myca.crt --raout myra.crt

     Root CA cert "C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, CN=strongSwan Root CA"

     Root CA cert is untrusted, valid until Aug 12 15:51:34 2032, 'myca.crt'
     Sub CA cert "C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, CN=strongSwan Issuing CA"
       serial: 74:f9:7e:72:7d:b8:fd:f2:c6:e5:1b:fa:37:f9:cb:87:bf:9c:ea:e2

     Sub CA cert is trusted, valid until Aug 12 15:51:34 2027, 'myca-1.crt'
     RA cert "C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, CN=SCEP RA"
       serial: 74:f9:7e:72:7d:b8:fd:f2:c6:e5:1b:fa:37:f9:cb:87:bf:9c:ea:e3
       SHA256: 57:22:f3:13:69:2f:24:82:12:59:8e:05:63:0b:f5:a8:fb:4e:78:87:8d:68:d1:4c:c1:c4:b5:85:db:bb:64:df
       SHA1  : bc:d1:46:76:55:7f:8c:d1:c5:22:31:b9:d7:b1:49:b5:95:a4:f3:ea (vNFGdlV/jNHFIjG517FJtZWk8+o)
       using certificate "C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, CN=SCEP RA"
       using untrusted intermediate 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
     RA cert is trusted, valid until Aug 10 15:51:34 2023, 'myra.crt'

     The trustworthiness of the root CA certificate has to be established  manu-
     ally  by  verifying  the SHA256 or SHA1 fingerprint of the DER-encoded cer-
     tificate that is e.g. listed on the official PKI website or by  some  other
     means.

     The  stored  certificate  files in DER format can be overwritten by PEM-en-
     coded versions with:

     pki --scepca --url http://pki.strongswan.org:8080/scep --caout myca.crt --raout myra.crt \
		  --outform pem --force

     If the --raout option is omitted and the --caout template	doesn't  have  a
     file suffix, then with --outform pem the following filenames are derived:

     pki --scepca --url http://pki.strongswan.org:8080/scep --caout scep/myca --outform pem

     Root CA cert "C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, CN=strongSwan Root CA"
       ...
     Root CA cert is untrusted, valid until Aug 12 15:51:34 2032, written to 'scep/myca.pem'
     Sub CA cert "C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, CN=strongSwan Issuing CA"
       ...
     Sub CA cert is trusted, valid until Aug 12 15:51:34 2027, 'scep/myca-1.pem'
     RA cert "C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, CN=SCEP RA"
       ...
     RA cert is trusted, valid until Aug 10 15:51:34 2023, 'scep/myca-ra.pem'

     A CA certificate bundle in PEM format is written to stdout:

     pki --scepca --url http://pki.strongswan.org:8080/scep --raout myra.crt --outform pem > cacerts.pem
