find-identity [-h] [-p policy] [-s string] [-v] [keychain...]
Find an identity (certificate + private key) satisfying a given policy. If no policy arguments
are provided, the X.509 basic policy is assumed. If no keychain arguments are provided, the

basic, ssl-client, ssl-server, smime, eap, ipsec, ichat, codesigning, sysdefault,
default, sys-kerberos-kdc
-s string Specify optional policy-specific string (e.g. a DNS hostname for SSL, or RFC822
email address for S/MIME)
-v Show valid identities only (default is to show all identities)
Examples

Display valid identities that can be used for SSL client authentication

“Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing” ~ Helen Keller
