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.
