Chapter 25. revoker (Sending Revocation Requests)


The revoker utility sends revocation requests to the CA agent interface to revoke certificates. To access the interface, revoker needs to have access to an agent certificate that is part of the subsystem group that is acceptable to the CA.
The revoker tool can do all of the following:
  • Specify which certificate or a list of certificates to revoke by listing the hexadecimal serial numbers.
  • Specify a revocation reason.
  • Specify an invalidity date.
  • Unrevoke a certificate that is currently on hold.

25.1. Syntax

The revoker utility has the following syntax:

revoker -s serialNumber -n rsa_nickname [[ -p password ] | [ -w passwordFile ]] [ -d dbdir ] [ -v ] [ -V ] [ -u ] [ -r reasoncode ] [ -i numberOfHours ] hostname [ :port ]
