NAME

sq-pki-link-retract - Retract links

SYNOPSIS

sq pki link retract [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

Retract links.

This command retracts links that were previously created using `sq pki link add` or `sq pki link authorize`. See that subcommand's documentation for more details. Note: this is called `retract` and not `remove`, because the certifications are not removed. Instead a new certification is added, which says that the binding has not been authenticated.

`sq pki link retract` respects the reference time set by the top-level `--time` argument. This causes a link to be retracted as of a particular time instead of the current time.

OPTIONS

Subcommand options

--all

Use all self-signed user IDs

--cert=FINGERPRINT|KEYID

Use certificates with the specified fingerprint or key ID

--cert-special=SPECIAL

Use certificates identified by the special name

[possible values: public-directories, keys.openpgp.org, keys.mailvelope.com, proton.me, wkd, dane, autocrypt, web]

--email=EMAIL

Use a user ID with the specified email address

The user ID consists of just the email address. The email address does not have to appear in a self-signed user ID.

--recreate

Recreate signature even if the parameters did not change

If the link parameters did not change, and thus creating a signature should not be necessary, we omit the operation. This flag can be given to force the signature to be re-created anyway.

--signature-notation NAME VALUE

Add a notation to the signature

A user-defined notation's name must be of the form `[email protected]`. If the notation's name starts with a `!`, then the notation is marked as being critical. If a consumer of a signature doesn't understand a critical notation, then it will ignore the signature. The notation is marked as being human readable.

--userid=USERID

Use the specified user ID

The specified user ID does not need to be self signed.

Because using a user ID that is not self-signed is often a mistake, you need to use this option to explicitly opt in.

--userid-by-email=EMAIL

Use the self-signed user ID with the specified email address

Global options

See sq(1) for a description of the global options.

EXAMPLES

Link the certificate EB28F26E2739A4870ECC47726F0073F60FD0CBF0 with the email address [email protected].

sq pki link add \
--cert=EB28F26E2739A4870ECC47726F0073F60FD0CBF0 \
[email protected]

Retract the acceptance of certificate EB28F26E2739A4870ECC47726F0073F60FD0CBF0 and the email address [email protected].

sq pki link retract \
--cert=EB28F26E2739A4870ECC47726F0073F60FD0CBF0 \
[email protected]

Retract the acceptance of certificate EB28F26E2739A4870ECC47726F0073F60FD0CBF0 and any associated user IDs. This effectively invalidates all links.

sq pki link retract \
--cert=EB28F26E2739A4870ECC47726F0073F60FD0CBF0 --all
