cert-sync1

Mono certificate store sync tool

Usage

cert-sync [--quiet] [--user] filename

Overview

This tool allows you to populate a Mono certificate store, from a large concatenated list of certificates in PEM format (commonly provided on most Linux distributions).

Its use is intended to be automated at Mono install time, by distribution packagers, to seamlessly provide SSL support to Mono applications without further user interaction.

Options

--quiet

Suppress verbose output

--user

Populate the per-user store in the user's home directory, instead of the system-wide store.

filename.crt

Path to a certificate bundle. The Mono store will have any extra entries removed, and new entries added, to reflect the provided file.

Examples

cert-sync /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

Synchronize the machine store, from the Debian cert store location

cert-sync --user /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt

Synchronize the user store, from the Red Hat cert store location
