22 A simple command line interface which lets you administer keychains,
23 manipulate keys and certificates, and do just about anything the
24 Security framework is capable of from the command line.

43 .Bl -tag -width -indent
45 If no arguments are specified, show a list of all commands. If arguments are provided, show usage for each the specified commands. This option is essentially the same as the

56 will be displayed and the user will be able to type commands on stdin until an EOF is encountered.

969 identity preferences can be set for individual key usages. You can differentiate between two identities which contain
970 the same string by providing a SHA-1 hash of the certificate (in addition to, or instead of, the name.)
972 .Sy PARTIAL PATHS AND WILDCARDS
974 Prior to 10.5.4, identity preferences for SSL/TLS client authentication could only be set on a per-URL basis. The
975 URL being visited had to match the service name exactly for the preference to be in effect.
977 In 10.5.4, it became possible to specify identity preferences on a per-server basis, by using
978 a service name with a partial path URL to match more specific paths on the same server. For
979 example, if an identity preference for "https://www.apache-ssl.org/" exists, it will be in effect for
980 "https://www.apache-ssl.org/cgi/cert-export", and so on. Note that partial path URLs must end with a trailing
983 Starting with 10.6, it is possible to specify identity preferences on a per-domain
984 basis, by using the wildcard character '*' as the leftmost component of the service name. Unlike SSL wildcards,
985 an identity preference wildcard can match more than one subdomain. For example, an identity preference for
986 the name "*.army.mil" will match "server1.subdomain1.army.mil" or "server2.subdomain2.army.mil". Likewise,
987 a preference for "*.mil" will match both "server.army.mil" and "server.navy.mil".
