NAME¶

certmonger

SYNOPSIS¶

certmonger [-s|-S] [-b TIMEOUT|-B] [-n|-f] [-d LEVEL] [-p FILE]

DESCRIPTION¶

The certmonger daemon monitors certificates for impending expiration, and can optionally refresh soon-to-be-expired certificates with the help of a CA. If told to, it can drive the entire enrollment process from key generation through enrollment and refresh. The daemon provides a control interface via the org.fedorahosted.certmonger service, with which client tools such as getcert(1) interact.

OPTIONS¶

-s

Listen on the session bus rather than the system bus.

-S

Listen on the system bus rather than the session bus. This is the default.

-b TIMEOUT

Behave as a bus-activated service: if there are no certificates to be monitored or obtained, and no requests received within TIMEOUT seconds, exit.

-B

Don't behave as a bus-activated service. This is the default.

-n

Don't fork, and log messages to stderr rather than syslog.

-f

Do fork, and log messages to syslog rather than stderr. This is the default.

-d LEVEL

Set debugging level. Higher values produce more debugging output. Implies -n.

-p FILE

Store the daemon's process ID in the named file.

 

FILES¶

The set of certificates being monitored or signed is tracked using files stored under /var/lib/certmonger/requests, or in a directory named by the CERTMONGER_REQUESTS_DIR environment variable. The set of known CAs is tracked using files stored under /var/lib/certmonger/cas, or in a directory named by the CERTMONGER_CAS_DIR environment variable. Temporary files will be stored in " /var/run/certmonger", or in the directory named by the CERTMONGER_TMPDIR environment variable if that value was not given at compile time.
