DESCRIPTION

OPTIONS

-h, -?, --help

Show usage information

-v, --verbose

Show verbose information (including exception stacktraces)

-m, --machine, --global

Use machine (global) store for all the key actions. Note that on Unix machines global store is located in /usr/share/.mono and modifying it requires root user permissions.

-u, --user, --local

Use local (user) store for all the key actions. User key store is located in the $HOME/.config/.mono directory. This is the default location used by mono-configuration-crypto.

-l, --list

List all the key container names in the store. Note that some container names might be just GUID strings.

-c, --create

Creates an RSA public/private key pair. If the specified container (see the -f option) already exists, the operation will fail.

-i, --import

Imports key to a container. Imports a key from file (specified by the -f option) and puts it as the first key in the specified container (see the -n option). If container exists, its first key is replaced. If container doesn't exist, it is created. No validation is performed on the key value - this is left to the protection provider or encryption code which uses the key.

-x, --export

Exports key from a container. Exports a key from indicated container (see the -n option) and puts it in the specified file (see the -f option) as XML. The file can later be used to import the key.

-r, --remove

Remove a container. Physically removes the container file from disk.

-f, --file=VALUE

File name for import or export operations. All options which read or write anything to/from files require this option to be present on the command line.

-cf, --config-file=VALUE

Config file name. Specifies base name of the config file, used in encrypt and decrypt operations. Files are sought for case-insensitively. Defaults to Web.config

-n, --name=VALUE

Container name. If this option is absent from the command line it defaults to MonoFrameworkConfigurationKey (the default key name used by System.Configuration section encryption/decryption code)

-s, --size=VALUE

Key size. Specifies the key length for the create operation (see the -c option). Defaults to 1024.

-p, --path=VALUE

Application physical path. Used when encrypting/decrypting configuration file sections to specify the directory in which the configuration file lives (see the -cf option). Defaults to current directory.

-d, --dec, --decrypt=VALUE

Decrypt configuration section. Configuration section must follow the format used when calling ConfigurationManager.GetSection, i.e.: path/to/section. Only sections known to the configuration system will be processed.

-e, --enc, --encrypt=VALUE

Encrypt configuration section. Configuration section must follow the format used when calling ConfigurationManager.GetSection, i.e.: path/to/section. Only sections known to the configuration system will be processed.
