6 .IP "\fB\-p\fR \fIprivkey.pem\fR"
7 .IQ "\fB\-\-private\-key=\fIprivkey.pem\fR"
8 Specifies a PEM file containing the private key used as \fB\*(PN\fR's
9 identity for outgoing SSL connections.
11 .IP "\fB\-c\fR \fIcert.pem\fR"
12 .IQ "\fB\-\-certificate=\fIcert.pem\fR"
13 Specifies a PEM file containing a certificate that certifies the
14 private key specified on \fB\-p\fR or \fB\-\-private\-key\fR to be
15 trustworthy. The certificate must be signed by the certificate
16 authority (CA) that the peer in SSL connections will use to verify it.
18 .IP "\fB\-C\fR \fIcacert.pem\fR"
19 .IQ "\fB\-\-ca\-cert=\fIcacert.pem\fR"
20 Specifies a PEM file containing the CA certificate that \fB\*(PN\fR
21 should use to verify certificates presented to it by SSL peers. (This
22 may be the same certificate that SSL peers use to verify the
23 certificate specified on \fB\-c\fR or \fB\-\-certificate\fR, or it may
24 be a different one, depending on the PKI design in use.)
27 .IQ "\fB\-\-ca\-cert=none\fR"
28 Disables verification of certificates presented by SSL peers. This
29 introduces a security risk, because it means that certificates cannot
30 be verified to be those of known trusted hosts.
