Usage

The fglpass command line tool allows you to:

Encrypt a password using a RSA key or X.509 certificate and encode it in BASE64 form.
Run a password agent that returns (in a protected way) the passwords that grant access to the different private keys used in all your applications.
Encode a file in BASE64 form and decode it back.

For security reasons, it is recommended to avoid storing clear passwords in a file, or leave private keys unprotected without a password. The fglpass command can be used to encrypt passwords.
