sq-pki-certify - Man Page

--add-userid

Add the given user ID if it doesn't exist in the certificate.

--allow-not-alive-certifier

Allow the key to make a certification even if the current time is prior to its creation time or the current time is at or after its expiration time.

--allow-revoked-certifier

Don't fail if the certificate making the certification is revoked.

--amount=AMOUNT

Set the amount of trust.  Values between 1 and 120 are meaningful. 120 means fully trusted.  Values less than 120 indicate the degree of trust.  60 is usually used for partially trusted.

[default: full]

--binary

Emit binary data

--certifier=FILE

Create the certification using KEY.

--certifier-file=KEY-FILE

Create the certification using KEY-FILE.

--depth=TRUST_DEPTH

Set the trust depth (sometimes referred to as the trust level).  0 means a normal certification of <CERTIFICATE, USERID>.  1 means CERTIFICATE is also a trusted introducer, 2 means CERTIFICATE is a meta-trusted introducer, etc.

[default: 0]

--email

Treat the given user ID as an email address.  If more than one user ID contain the given email address, all are certified.

--expiration=EXPIRATION

Define EXPIRATION for the certification as ISO 8601 formatted string or custom duration. If an ISO 8601 formatted string is provided, the validity period reaches from the reference time (may be set using `--time`) to the provided time. Custom durations starting from the reference time may be set using `N[ymwds]`, for N years, months, weeks, days, or seconds. The special keyword `never` sets an unlimited expiry.

[default: 5y]

--local

Make the certification a local certification.  Normally, local certifications are not exported.

--non-revocable

Mark the certification as being non-revocable. That is, you cannot later revoke this certification.  This should normally only be used with an expiration.

--notation NAME VALUE

Add a notation to the certification.  A user-defined notation's name must be of the form `name@a.domain.you.control.org`. If the notation's name starts with a !, then the notation is marked as being critical.  If a consumer of a signature doesn't understand a critical notation, then it will ignore the signature.  The notation is marked as being human readable.

--output=FILE

Write to FILE or stdout if omitted

--regex=REGEX

Add a regular expression to constrain what a trusted introducer can certify.  The regular expression must match the certified User ID in all intermediate introducers, and the certified certificate. Multiple regular expressions may be specified.  In that case, at least one must match.

KEY_ID|FINGERPRINT|FILE

Certify CERTIFICATE.

USERID

Certify USERID for CERTIFICATE.
