50 msva-query-agent - query a Monkeysphere Validation Agent
54 msva-query-agent CONTEXT PEER PKC_TYPE < /path/to/public_key_carrier
58 msva-query-agent validates certificates for a given use by querying a
59 running Monkeysphere Validation Agent.
63 msva-query-agent reads a certificate from standard input, and posts it
64 to the running Monkeysphere Validation Agent. The return code
65 indicates the validity (as determined by the agent) of the certificate
66 for the specified purpose. The agent's return message (if any) is
69 Three command-line arguments are all required, supplied in order, as
76 Context in which the certificate is being validated (e.g. 'https',
81 The name of the intended peer. When validating a certificate for a
82 service, supply the host's full DNS name (e.g. 'foo.example.net')
86 The format of public key carrier data provided on standard input
93 If the certificate is valid for the requested peer in the given
94 context, the return code is 0. Otherwise, the return code is 1.
96 =head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
98 msva-query-agent's behavior is controlled by environment variables:
102 =item MONKEYSPHERE_VALIDATION_AGENT_SOCKET
104 Socket over which to query the validation agent. If unset, the
105 default value is 'http://localhost:8901'.
109 Log messages about its operation to stderr. MSVA_LOG_LEVEL controls
110 its verbosity, and should be one of (in increasing verbosity): silent,
111 quiet, fatal, error, info, verbose, debug, debug1, debug2, debug3.
