UI for "link/vouch add/authorize" is complicated; could be one command
Currently there are four commands for making a certification:
sq pki link add
sq pki link authorize
sq pki vouch add
sq pki vouch authorize
I think that is too much commands for the same thing. The differences could be handled with options. One command:
sq pki certification add
- By default all would create a non-exportable certification.
- To choose between local trust root or other certifier:
--certifier-root (use local trust root)
--certifier, --certifier-self, --certifier-userid, ... (select own key)
At least one of the above options must be given.
- To choose trust depth:
--depth 0 (default, validate the binding, same as "add" currently)
--depth n (n>0, validate and trusted introducer, same as "authorize" currently)
- To make it exportable:
--exportable
The above option refuses to make --certifier-root certifications exportable. Warning is given to user.
Typical commands would look like:
sq pki certification add --certifier-root --cert ... --userid ...
sq pki certification add --certifier-root --cert ... --userid ... --depth 3
sq pki certification add --certifier ... --cert ... --userid ...
sq pki certification add --certifier ... --cert ... --userid ... --exportable
sq pki certification add --certifier ... --cert ... --userid ... --depth 1 --exportable
Other possible subcommands for sq pki certification: list, retract, replay, ...
