# getcert-add-ca(1)

## NAME

getcert

## SYNOPSIS

getcert add-ca \[options\]

## DESCRIPTION

Adds a CA configuration to *certmonger*, which can subsequently be used to enroll certificates.

## OPTIONS

- **-c** *NAME*, **--ca**=*NAME*

  The nickname to give to this CA configuration.  This same value can later be passed in to *getcert*'s *request*, *resubmit*, and *start-tracking* commands using the **-c** flag.

- **-e** *COMMAND*, **--command**=*COMMAND*

  The helper command to run for communicating with the CA.  The helper will be used to pass signing requests to the CA, relay the CA's responses back to the *certmonger* service, and to read information about the CA.

- **-v**, **--verbose**

  Be verbose about errors.  Normally, the details of an error received from the daemon will be suppressed if the client can make a diagnostic suggestion.

## BUGS

Please file tickets for any that you find at https://fedorahosted.org/certmonger/
