NAME

       certmonger

SYNOPSIS

       certmonger  [-s|-S]  [-L|-l] [-P SOCKET] [-b TIMEOUT|-B] [-n|-f] [-d LEVEL] [-p FILE] [-F]
       [-c cmd] [-v]

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.

       -l     Also listen on a private socket for connections from clients running under the same
              UID.

       -L     Listen only on a private socket for connections from clients running under the same
              UID, and skip connecting to a bus.

       -P     Specify a location for the private listening socket.  If the location beings with a
              '/' character, it will be prefixed with 'unix:path=', otherwise it will be prefixed
              with  'unix:'.   If  this  option is not specified, the listening socket, if one is
              created, will be placed in the abstract namespace.

       -b TIMEOUT
              Behave as a bus-activated service: if there are no certificates to be monitored  or
              obtained,  and  no  requests  are  received  within  TIMEOUT  seconds,  exit.   Not
              compatible with the -c option.

       -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.

       -F     Force NSS to be initialized in FIPS mode.  The default  behavior  is  to  heed  the
              setting stored in /proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled.

       -c cmd After  the  service  has initialized, run the specified command, then shut down the
              service after the command exits.  If the -l or -L option was  also  specified,  the
              command will be run with the CERTMONGER_PVT_ADDRESS environment variable set to the
              listening socket's location.  Not compatible with the -b option.

       -v     Print version information and exit.

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.
