System information

Option Description
and generates PINs for only those DNs .
output Specifies the absolute path to the file to write
the PINs as setpin generates them. If a file is
not set, then the output is written to the
standard output. Regardless of whether an
output file is set, all error messages are
directed to the standard error.
write Sets whether the tool should write PINs to the
directory. If specified, the PINs are written to
the directory as they are generated.
Otherwise, the tool does not make any
changes to the directory. Do not write PINs to
the directory if the PINs are to be checked.
The PINs can be viewed in the output file to
make sure that they are being assigned to the
correct users and that they conform to the
length and character restrictions. For more
information, see Section 2.2, “Output File”.
clobber Overwrites pre-existing PINs, if any,
associated with a DN. If this option is not
used, any existing PINs are left in the
directory.
testpingen Tests the PIN-generation mode. count sets
the total number of PINs to generate for
testing.
debug Writes debugging information to the standard
error. If debug=attrs is specified, the tool
writes more detailed information about each
entry in the directory.
optfile Sets the tool to read options, one per line,
from a file. This allows all arguments to be put
in a file, instead of typing them at the
command line. One configuration file,
setpin.conf, is located in the
/usr/lib/rhpki/native-tools directory.
setup Switches to setup mode, which allows the tool
to add to the directory schema.
pinmanager Specifies the PIN manager user that has
permission to remove the PIN for the basedn
specified. Used with the setup option.
pinmanagerpwd Gives the password for the PIN manager
user. Used with the setup option.
