The command "openfortivpn --trusted-cert=${sha256_sum}" is used to establish a VPN (Virtual Private Network) connection using the openfortivpn software with a specified trusted certificate.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "openfortivpn" is the name of the executable command or program.
- "--trusted-cert=${sha256_sum}" is a command-line argument or option specifying the trusted certificate to be used for authentication.
In this case, "${sha256_sum}" represents a placeholder for the actual SHA-256 (Secure Hash Algorithm 256-bit) hash value of the certificate. The command is designed to be used within a script or command line environment where the certificate's SHA-256 hash is passed as a variable.
By providing the trusted certificate, openfortivpn can verify the authenticity of the VPN server. The sha256_sum value ensures that the received certificate matches the expected one, preventing potential security threats like man-in-the-middle attacks.
Overall, this command is used to initiate a VPN connection, making sure that the server's certificate is trusted and providing a secure and encrypted connection for communication.
