RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2015:2365 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE certmonger bug fix and enhancement update 2015-11-19 10:40:06 UTC

Description Keenan Brock 2014-08-19 20:59:19 UTC 
Description of problem:

Certmonger's getcert command displays help.

If the secondary command is provided, the help is great. e.g.: getcert request

If the secondary command is not provided, help for every sub command is provided. This is intimidating.

Instead, please provide a list of sub commands.
This will work the same way that getcert man pages work.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

latest (and before)
certmonger-0.75.13-0.20140818T1524Zgit0ed42b6.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. getcert | wc -l

Actual results:

225

Expected results:


10

look similar to the results from `man getcert`

        getcert request [options]
        getcert resubmit [options]
        getcert start-tracking [options]
        getcert status [options]
        getcert stop-tracking [options]
        getcert list [options]
        getcert list-cas [options]
        getcert refresh-cas [options]

This was changed upstream in 0.76, so we can fix it here by rebasing.
Comment 4 Kaleem 2015-09-15 17:52:53 UTC 
Verified.
