NAME

       scep-submit

SYNOPSIS

       scep-submit -u SERVER-URL [-r ra-cert-file] [-R ca-cert-file] [-I other-certs-file] [-N ca-cert-file] [-i
       ca-identifier] [-v] [-n] [-c|-C|-g|-p] [pkimessage-filename]

DESCRIPTION

       scep-submit  is  the  helper  which  certmonger  can  use  to transmit certificate enrollment and renewal
       requests to servers using SCEP.  It is not normally run interactively, but it can be for  troubleshooting
       purposes.

       The  request which is to be submitted should be a PEM-encoded SCEP pkiMessage either in a file whose name
       is given as an argument, or fed into scep-submit via stdin.

MODES

       -c, --retrieve-ca-capabilities
              scep-submit will issue a GetCACaps request to the server and print the results.

       -C, --retrieve-ca-certificates
              scep-submit will issue a GetCACert request to the server, parse the response, and then  print,  in
              order, the RA certificate, the CA certificate, and any additional certificates.

       -p, --pki-message
              scep-submit  will  issue  a  PKIOperation request to the server using the passed-in message as the
              message content.  It will parse the server's response, verify the signature, and if  the  response
              includes an issued certificate, it will output the pkcsPKIEnvelope in PEM format.  If the response
              indicates an error, it will print the error.

       -g, --get-initial-cert
              scep-submit  will  issue  a  PKIOperation request to the server using the passed-in message as the
              message content.  It will parse the server's response, verify the signature, and if  the  response
              includes an issued certificate, it will output the pkcsPKIEnvelope in PEM format.  If the response
              indicates an error, it will print the error.

OPTIONS

-u URL, --url=URL
The location of the SCEP interface provided by the CA. This is typically
http://SERVER/cgi-bin/PKICLIENT.EXE or http://SERVER/certsrv/mscep/mscep.dll. This option is
always required.

-R FILE, --cacert=FILE
The location of the CA certificate which was used to issue the SCEP web server's certificate in
PEM form. If the URL specified with the -u option is an https URL, then this option is required.

-N FILE, --signingca=FILE
The location of a PEM-formatted copy of the SCEP server's CA certificate. A discovered value is
normally supplied by the certmonger daemon, but one can be specified for troubleshooting purposes.

-r FILE, --racert=FILE
The location of the SCEP server's RA certificate, which is expected to be used for signing
responses sent by the SCEP server back to the client. This option is required when either the -g
flag or the -p flag is specified.

-I FILE, --other-certs=FILE
The location of a file containing other PEM-formatted certificates which may be needed in order to
properly verify signed responses sent by the SCEP server back to the client. This option may be
necessary when either the -g flag or the -p flag is specified.

-i NAME, --ca-identifier=NAME
When called with the -c or -C flag, this option can be used to specify the CA identifier which is
passed to the server as part of the client's request. The default is "0".

-n, --non-renewal
The SCEP Renewal feature allows a client with a previously-issued certificate to use that
certificate and the associated private key to request a new certificate for a different key pair,
and can be used to support certmonger's rekeying feature if the SCEP server advertises support for
it. This option forces the scep-submit helper to prefer to issue requests which do not make use
of this feature.

-v, --verbose
Increases the logging level. Use twice for more logging. This option is mainly useful for
troubleshooting.

EXIT STATUS

       0      if the certificate was issued. The pkcsPKIEnvelope will be printed in PEM-encoded form.

       1      if the CA is still thinking.  A cookie (state) value will be printed.

       2      if the CA rejected the request.  An error message may be printed.

       3      if the CA was unreachable.  An error message may be printed.

       4      if critical configuration information is missing.  An error message may be printed.

       5      if  the  CA is still thinking.  A suggested poll delay (specified in seconds) and a cookie (state)
              value will be printed.

       16     if the helper needs an SCEP pkiMessage, but couldn't read one.

       17     if the CA indicates that the client needs to attempt enrollment using a new key pair.
