PKI User CLI

Endi S. Dewata edited this page Jan 20, 2022 · 3 revisions

Overview

Each PKI subsystem (i.e. CA, KRA, OCSP, TKS, TKS) provides a CLI to manage the system users. All commands must be executed as an administrator of the corresponding subsystem. However, the default the admin can authenticate as the administrator of all subsystems. See Importing Admin Certificate into PKI CLI.

In general the commands follow the following format:

$ pki <admin authentication> <subsystem>-user-<command>

For example, in the command below the default admin certificate is used to access TPS users:

$ pki -n caadmin tps-user-find
