.SH NAME
certmgr \- Mono Certificate Manager (CLI version)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
.B certmgr [action] [object type] [options] store [filename]
or
.B certmgr -ssl [options] url
.SH DESCRIPTION
This tool allow to list, add, remove or extract certificates, certificate 
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.
.SH ACTIONS
.TP
.I "-list"
List the certificates, CTL or CTL in the specified store.
.TP
.I "-add"
Add a certificate, CRL or CTL to specified store.
.TP
.I "-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 
.B -list
on the store.
.TP
.I "-put"
Copy a certificate, CRL or CTL from a store to a file.
.TP
.I "-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 assume an 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, any other 
intermediate certificates in the IntermediateCA store).

.SH OBJECT TYPES
.TP
.I "-c", "-cert", "-certificate"
Add, Delete or Put certificates. That is the specified file must/will contains
X.509 certificates in DER binary encoding.
.TP
.I "-crl"
Add, Delete or Put certificate revocation lists (CRL). That is the specified 
file must/will contains X.509 CRL in DER binary encoding.
.TP
.I "-ctl"
Add, Delete or Put certificate trust lists (CRL). UNSUPPORTED.

.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.I "-m"
Use the machine's certificate stores (instead of the default user's stores).
.TP
.I "-v"
More details displayed on the console.
.TP
.I "-help", "-h", "-?", "/?"
Display help about this tool.

.SH FILES
.B WARNING: This details the current behavior of Mono and could change between 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
.I ~/.config/.mono/certs/
.TP
For example the trusted root certificates for a user would be kept under
.I ~/.config/.mono/certs/Trust/
.TP
Certificates files are kept in DER (binary) format (extension .cer).
.TP
The filenames either starts with
.I tbp 
(thumbprint) or
.I ski
(subject key identifier).
.TP
The rest of the filename is the base64-encoded value (tbp or ski).

.SH EXAMPLES
.TP
.B mono certmgr.exe -list -c -m Trust
List all certificates in the machine Trust store. This will display the hash
value for each certificate. This value can be used to identify uniquely a 
certificate for some operations (e.g. delete). E.g.
.B Unique Hash:   FFA3AC0084DA1673B5A031EBB2156B3E8FBBF6D8
.TP
.B 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 restricted. The following
error message will appear if the current user doesn't have the minimum access
rights to remove the certificate: 
.B Access to the machine 'Trust' certificate store has been denied.
.TP
.B 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.
.TP
.B 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).

.SH KNOWN ISSUES
.TP
.B 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.
  <mscorlib>
    <cryptographySettings>
      <cryptoNameMapping>
        <cryptoClasses>
          <cryptoClass monoMD2="Mono.Security.Cryptography.MD2Managed, Mono.Security, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0738eb9f132ed756" />
        </cryptoClasses>
        <nameEntry name="MD2" class="monoMD2" />
      </cryptoNameMapping>
      <oidMap>
        <oidEntry OID="1.2.840.113549.2.2" name="MD2" />
      </oidMap>
