NAME
update-ca-certificates - update system CA certificates SYNOPSIS
update-ca-certificates [options] DESCRIPTION
update-ca-certificates updates the directory /etc/ssl/certs to hold SSL certificates and generates /etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem, a concatenated single-file list of certificates. It reads the file /etc/ca-certificates.conf. Each line gives a pathname of a CA certificate under /usr/share/ca-certificates that should be trusted. Lines that begin with "#" are comment lines and thus ignored. Lines that begin with "!" are deselected, causing the deactivation of the CA certificate in question. All certificates are implicitly trusted if no trusted certificates are listed. Furthermore all certificates found below /usr/local/share/ca-certificates are also included as implicitly trusted. After populating /etc/ssl/certs update-ca-certificates invokes custom hooks in /usr/lib/ca-certificates/update.d/*.run and /etc/ca-certifi- cates/update.d/*.run. The command line options used for invoking update-ca-certificates are passed to the hooks as well. OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below. -h, --help Show summary of options. -v, --verbose Be verbose. Output c_rehash. -f, --fresh Fresh updates. Removes symlinks in /etc/ssl/certs directory and re-creates them from scratch. FILES
/etc/ca-certificates.conf A configuration file. /etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem A single-file version of all CA certificates. Use of this file is deprecated and should only be used as last resort by applications that cannot parse the /etc/ssl/certs directory. /usr/share/ca-certificates Directory of CA certificates. /usr/local/share/ca-certificates Directory of local CA certificates.

NAME
update-ca-certificates - update /etc/ssl/certs and certificates.crt SYNOPSIS
update-ca-certificates [options] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the update-ca-certificates commands. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution. update-ca-certificates is a program that updates the directory /etc/ssl/certs to hold SSL certificates and generates certificates.crt, a concatenated single-file list of certificates. It reads the file /etc/ca-certificates.conf. Each line gives a pathname of a CA certificate under /usr/share/ca-certificates that should be trusted. Lines that begin with "#" are comment lines and thus ignored. Lines that begin with "!" are deselected, causing the deactivation of the CA certificate in question. Furthermore all certificates found below /usr/local/share/ca-certificates are also included as implicitly trusted. Before terminating, update-ca-certificates invokes run-parts on /etc/ca-certificates/update.d and calls each hook with a list of certifi- cates: those added are prefixed with a +, those removed are prefixed with a -. OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below. -h, --help Show summary of options. -v, --verbose Be verbose. Output c_rehash. -f, --fresh Fresh updates. Remove symlinks in /etc/ssl/certs directory. FILES
/etc/ca-certificates.conf A configuration file. /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt A single-file version of CA certificates. This hold all CA certificates that you activated in /etc/ca-certificates.conf. /usr/share/ca-certificates Directory of CA certificates. /usr/local/share/ca-certificates Directory of local CA certificates (with .crt extension).
