Re: [Pki-devel] [PATCH] 548 Updated CRMFPopClient parameter handling.

System.out.println(" -q <POP option> POP option (default: POP_SUCCESS)"); + System.out.println(" - POP_NONE"); + System.out.println(" - POP_SUCCESS"); + System.out.println(" - POP_FAIL"); We originally added POP_NONE and POP_FAIL as a way to test Proof Of Possession. This was when this thing was mainly a test tool. I would imagine the major legit cases would be POP_SUCCESS and POP_NONE, with SUCCESS merely meaning that we include POP with the request. It might be nice to add a little more info to the string for POP_FAIL that this is to test a failure case, and POP_NONE is to not provide POP, while POP_SUCCESS means to provide POP information with the request.

Here: if (sensitive != 0 && sensitive != 1 && sensitive != -1) { + printError("Illegal input parameters for -s: " + sensitive); + System.exit(1); + } + + if (extractable != 0 && extractable != 1 && extractable != -1) { + printError("Illegal input parameters for -e: " + extractable); + System.exit(1); + } There is checking for the validity of the sensitive and extractable params here. From the usage string it looks like we only want this for the EC case, would it make sense to make sure ec is in effect here?

Also, when an error is detected in the params, should be re-print out the usage, or does the system handle this for us somehow?
