An entity \s-1ID\s0 can be specified with the \&\fB\-e\fR flag. The \fBopenssl\fR command-line client is used to generate the key pair. By default, the public certificate will be created in \&\fI/etc/shibboleth/sp\-cert.pem\fR and the private key in \&\fI/etc/shibboleth/sp\-key.pem\fR. .SH "OPTIONS" .IX Header "OPTIONS" .IP "\fB\-b\fR" 4 .IX Item "-b" Batch mode: exit successfully without doing anything if \fIsp\-key.pem\fR or \&\fIsp\-cert.pem\fR already exists, unless \fB\-f\fR was also specified. Suppress standard error output from \fBopenssl\fR when creating the certificate. .IP "\fB\-e\fR \fIentity-id\fR" 4 .IX Item "-e entity-id" Add \fIentity-id\fR (which should be a \s-1URI\s0) as an alternative name for the certificate. .IP "\fB\-f\fR" 4 .IX Item "-f" Remove \fIsp\-cert.pem\fR and \fIsp\-key.pem\fR before generating a new certificate. Without this option, if those files already exist, \fBshib-keygen\fR prints an error and exits rather than overwriting them. .IP "\fB\-g\fR \fIgroup\fR" 4 .IX Item "-g group" After generating the key and certificate, change the group ownership of the key file to this group. By default, the group used is \f(CW\*(C`_shibd\*(C'\fR. .IP "\fB\-h\fR \fIhostname\fR" 4 .IX Item "-h hostname" Specify the fully-qualified domain name for which to generate a certificate. If this option isn't given, the hostname defaults to the result of \f(CW\*(C`hostname \-\-fqdn\*(C'\fR. .IP "\fB\-o\fR \fIoutput-dir\fR" 4 .IX Item "-o output-dir" Store \fIsp\-cert.pem\fR and \fIsp\-key.pem\fR in the directory \fIoutput-dir\fR rather than the default of \fI/etc/shibboleth\fR. .IP "\fB\-n\fR \fIprefix\fR" 4 .IX Item "-n prefix" Use \fIprefix\fR instead of \fIsp\fR in the name of the generated certificate and private key file. .IP "\fB\-u\fR \fIuser\fR" 4 .IX Item "-u user" After generating the key and certificate, change the ownership of the key file to this user. This is used to allow the key to be read by a non-root user so that \fBshibd\fR can be run as a non-root user. By default, the key is owned by \f(CW\*(C`_shibd\*(C'\fR. .IP "\fB\-y\fR \fIyears\fR" 4 .IX Item "-y years" The number of years for which the certificate should be valid. The default expiration time is ten years into the future. .SH "FILES" .IX Header "FILES" .IP "\fI/etc/shibboleth/sp\-cert.cnf\fR" 4 .IX Item "/etc/shibboleth/sp-cert.cnf" The OpenSSL configuration file used for generating the self-signed certificate. This configuration file is generated when the script is run and deleted afterwards. .IP "\fI/etc/shibboelth/sp\-cert.pem\fR" 4 .IX Item "/etc/shibboelth/sp-cert.pem" The default location of the public certificate created by this script. .IP "\fI/etc/shibboleth/sp\-key.pem\fR" 4 .IX Item "/etc/shibboleth/sp-key.pem" The default location of the private key for the certificate created by this script. .PP These three files are stored in the directory given with \fB\-o\fR instead, if that option is given. .SH "AUTHOR" .IX Header "AUTHOR" This manual page was written by Russ Allbery for Debian GNU/Linux. .SH "COPYRIGHT" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" Copyright 2008, 2011 Russ Allbery.
