NAME

       swtpm_setup.conf - Configuration file for swtpm_setup

DESCRIPTION

       The file /etc/swtpm_setup.conf contains configuration information for swtpm_setup. It must
       only contain one configuration keyword per line, followed by an equals sign (=) and then
       followed by appropriate configuration information. A comment at the end of the line may be
       introduced by a hash (#) sign.

       Users may write their own configuration into ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/swtpm_setup.conf or if
       XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set it may be in ${HOME}/.config/swtpm_setup.conf.

       The following keywords are recognized:

       create_certs_tool
           This keyword is to be followed by the name of an executable or executable script used
           for creating various TPM certificates. The tool will be called with the following
           options

           --type type
               This parameter indicates the type of certificate to create. The type parameter may
               be one of the following: ek, or platform

           --dir dir
               This parameter indicates the directory into which the certificate is to be stored.
               It is expected that the EK certificate is stored in this directory under the name
               ek.cert and the platform certificate under the name platform.cert.

           --ek ek
               This parameter indicates the modulus of the public key of the endorsement key
               (EK). The public key is provided as a sequence of ASCII hex digits.

           --vmid ID
               This parameter indicates the ID of the VM for which to create the certificate.

           --logfile <logfile>
               The log file to log output to; by default logging goes to stdout and stderr on the
               console.

           --configfile <configuration file>
               The configuration file to use. This file typically contains configuration
               information for the invoked program. If omitted, the program must use its default
               configuration file.

           --optsfile <options file>
               The options file to use. This file typically contains options that the invoked
               program uses. If omitted, the program must use its default options file.

           --tpm-spec-family <family>, --tpm-spec-level <level>, --tpm-spec-revision <revision>
               These 3 options describe the TPM specification that was followed for the
               implementation of the TPM and will be part of the EK certificate.

           --tpm2
               This option is passed in case a TPM 2 compliant certificate needs to be created.

       create_certs_tool_config
           This keyword is to be followed by the name of a configuration file that will be passed
           to the invoked program using the --configfile option described above. If omitted, the
           invoked program will use the default configuration file.

       create_certs_tool_options
           This keyword is to be followed by the name of an options file that will be passed to
           the invoked program using the --optsfile option described above. If omitted, the
           invoked program will use the default options file.
