NAME

       certmonger

SYNOPSIS

       certmonger [-s|-S] [-L|-l] [-P PATH] [-b TIMEOUT|-B] [-n|-f] [-d LEVEL] [-p FILE] [-F] [-c command] [-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, --session
              Listen on the session bus rather than the system bus.

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

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

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

       -P PATH, --listening-socket-path=PATH
              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, --bus-activation-timeout=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, --no-bus-activation-timeout
              Don't behave as a bus-activated service.  This is the default.

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

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

       -d LEVEL, --debug-level=LEVEL
              Set debugging level.  Higher values produce more debugging output.  Implies -n.

       -p FILE, pidfile=FILE
              Store the daemon's process ID in the named file.

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

       -c COMMAND, --command=COMMAND
              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, --version
              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 "/run/certmonger", or in the directory named by  the  CERTMONGER_TMPDIR
       environment variable if that value was not given at compile time.
