NAME
httpcfg - Mono Certificate Management for HttpListener
SYNOPSIS
httpcfg [options] certificate
DESCRIPTION
This tool is used to manage the certificates used by the HttpListener
embeddable server class when the HttpListener is configured as an
HTTPS server instead of an HTTP server.
You must select one of the possible actions: add, delete or list.
When adding a certificate (-add), you must provide the following
information: a certificate (with the -cert flag) a Private Key file
(with the -pvk argument, the filename is typically "key") and a port
number (with the -port flag).
When deleting a certificate (-del or -delete) you need to provide the
port number.
PARAMETERS
- -add

Adds a new certificate/private key combination for being used at a
given port by the HttpListener API.
- -del, -delete
-
Deletes the certificates associated for the port specified (must be
specified separatedly).
- -list

List all known certificates.
- -port PORT
-
Specifies the port to add certificates to, or remove certificates
from.
- -pvk FILE
-
Specifies the Private Key file.
