DIRMNGR-CLIENT(1)	       GNU Privacy Guard	     DIRMNGR-CLIENT(1)

NAME
       dirmngr-client - CRL and OCSP daemon

SYNOPSIS
       dirmngr-client [options] [certfile|pattern]

DESCRIPTION
       The  dirmngr-client  is	a simple tool to contact a running dirmngr and
       test whether a certificate has been revoked --- either by being	listed
       in  the corresponding CRL or by running the OCSP protocol.  If no dirm‐
       ngr is running, a new instances will be started but this is in  general
       not a good idea due to the huge performance overhead.

       The usual way to run this tool is either:

	 dirmngr-client acert

       or

	 dirmngr-client <acert

       Where  acert  is	 one  DER  encoded  (binary)  X.509 certificates to be
       tested.

RETURN VALUE
       dirmngr-client returns these values:

       0      The certificate under question is valid; i.e. there is  a	 valid
	      CRL  available  and  it  is not listed tehre or teh OCSP request
	      returned that that certificate is valid.

       1      The certificate has been revoked

       2 (and other values)
	      There was a problem checking the revocation state	 of  the  cer‐
	      tificate.	  A message to stderr has given more detailed informa‐
	      tion.  Most likely this is due to a missing or  expired  CRL  or
	      due to a network problem.

OPTIONS
       dirmngr-client may be called with the following options:

       --version
	      Print  the program version and licensing information.  Note that
	      you cannot abbreviate this command.

       --help, -h
	      Print a usage message summarizing the most  useful  command-line
	      options.	Note that you cannot abbreviate this command.

       --quiet, -q
	      Make  the	 output	 extra	brief by suppressing any informational
	      messages.

       -v

       --verbose
	      Outputs additional information while running.  You can  increase
	      the  verbosity  by  giving  several verbose commands to dirmngr,
	      such as '-vv'.

       --pem  Assume that the given certificate is in PEM (armored) format.

       --ocsp Do the check using the OCSP protocol and ignore any CRLs.

       --force-default-responder
	      When checking using the OCSP  protocl,  force  the  use  of  the
	      default  OCSP  responder.	  That	is  not to use the Reponder as
	      given by the certificate.

       --ping Check whether the dirmngr daemon is up and running.

       --cache-cert
	      Put the given certificate into the cache of a  running  dirmngr.
	      This is mainly useful for debugging.

       --validate
	      Validate	the given certificate using dirmngr's internal valida‐
	      tion code.  This is mainly useful for debugging.

       --load-crl
	      This command expects a list of filenames with  DER  encoded  CRL
	      files.   With  the  option  --url	 URLs are expected in place of
	      filenames and they are loaded directly from the given  location.
	      All CRLs will be validated and then loaded into dirmngr's cache.

       --lookup
	      Take the remaining arguments and run a lookup command on each of
	      them.  The results are Base-64 encoded outputs  (without	header
	      lines).	This  may  be  used  to	 retrieve  certificates from a
	      server. However the output format is not	very  well  suited  if
	      more than one certificate is returned.

       --url

       -u     Modify the lookup and load-crl commands to take an URL.

       --local

       -l     Let the lookup command only search the local cache.

       --squid-mode
	      Run  dirmngr-client  in  a mode suitable as a helper program for
	      Squid's external_acl_type option.

       The full documentation for this tool is maintained as a Texinfo manual.
       If  dirmngr  and	 the info program are properly installed at your site,
       the command

	 info dirmngr

       should give you access to the complete manual including a  menu	struc‐
       ture and an index.
