certverify This is a small utility to verify a TLS X.509 certificate. It returns 0 on success; on error, it prints the error and returns with exit code 1. It does not check for revocations (though this is a planned feature), and it does not check the hostname (it deals only in certificate files). [ Usage ] certverify [-ca bundle] [-f] [-i bundle] [-r] [-v] certificate [ Flags ] -ca bundle Specify the path to the CA certificate bundle to use. -f Force the use of the intermediate bundle, ignoring any intermediates bundled with the certificate. -i bundle Specify the path to the intermediate certificate bundle to use. -r Print revocation and expiry information. -v Print extra information during the program's run. If the certificate validates, also prints 'OK'. [ Examples ] To verify the 'www.pem' certificate against the system roots: $ certverify www.pem $ echo $? 0 To verify the 'www.pem' certificate against the 'ca-cert.pem' CA certificate bundle, and seeing a mismatch: $ certverify -ca ca-cert.pem www.pem Verification failed: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority $ echo $? 1 Using the stealchain (../stealchain) util, print revocation and expiry information for google.com: $ stealchain google.com [+] wrote google.com.pem. $ certverify -r google.com.pem certificate expires in 53d.
