−h | −−help |
This sub-command of pki(1) gets CA certificates via https from an EST server using the /cacerts operation of the Enrollment over Secure Transport protocol (RFC 7030).
−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.
−l, −−label label
Label in the EST server path.
−C, −−cacert file
CA certificate in the trust chain used for EST TLS server signature verification. Can be used multiple times.
−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 either .der (the default) or .pem is automatically appended. If the −−caout option is missing and −−outform is set to pem then a PEM-encoded CA certificate bundle is written to stdout.
−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.
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
NOTE: For a successful HTTPS connection, trust must be established into the EST server certificate. The TLS trust chain including the root CA certificate and optionally intermediate CA certificates must be given using multiple --cacert options.
An EST server sends a root CA and an intermediate CA certificate:
pki −−estca −−options est.opt −−caout myca.crt

NOTE: The trusthworthiness of the root CA certificate is either verified automatically if the Root CA certificate of the TLS trust chain is the same as that of the Issuing CA. Otherwise trust has to be established manually by verifying the SHA256 or SHA1 fingerprint of the DER-encoded certificate 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-encoded versions with:
pki −−estca −−options est.opt −−caout myca.crt −−outform pem −−force
A CA certificate bundle in PEM format is written to stdout:
pki −−estca −−options est.opt −−outform pem > cacerts.pem
