Ubuntu Manpage: tcsd.conf - configuration file for the trousers TCS daemon.

NAME

       tcsd.conf - configuration file for the trousers TCS daemon.

DESCRIPTION

       This  file,  by  default  /etc/tcsd.conf  is  read  by the trousers TCSD daemon, tcsd (see
       tcsd(8)). The tcsd.conf file that is  installed  by  trousers  contains  all  the  default
       options, commented out.

OPTIONS

port The port that TCSD will listen on for connections, local and remote, from
applications.

num_threads The maximum number of threads that the TCSD will spawn simultaneously to
service applications. After num_threads threads have been spawned, any application that
attempts to connect to the TCSD will receive an error.

system_ps_file The location of the system persistent storage file. The system persistent
storage file holds keys and data across restarts of the TCSD and system reboots.

firmware_log_file Path to the file containing the current firmware PCR event log data. The
interface to this log is usually provided by the TPM device driver.

kernel_log_file Path to the file containing the current kernel PCR event log data. By
default, this data will be parsed in the format provided by the Integrity Measurement
Architecture LSM.

firmware_pcrs A list of PCR indices that are manipulated only by the system firmware and
therefore are not extended or logged by the TCSD. Applications that call Tcsi_PcrExtend on
PCRs listed here will receive an error.

kernel_pcrs A list of PCR indices that are manipulated only by the kernel and therefore
are not extended or logged by the TCSD. Applications that call Tcsi_PcrExtend on PCRs
listed here will receive an error.

platform_cred Path to the platform credential for your TPM. Your TPM manufacturer may
have provided you with a set of credentials (certificates) that should be used when
creating identities using your TPM. When a user of your TPM makes an identity, this
credential will be encrypted as part of that process. See the 1.1b TPM Main specification
section 9.3 for information on this process.

conformance_cred Path to the conformance credential for your TPM. Your TPM manufacturer
may have provided you with a set of credentials (certificates) that should be used when
creating identities using your TPM. When a user of your TPM makes an identity, this
credential will be encrypted as part of that process. See the 1.1b TPM Main specification
section 9.3 for information on this process.

endorsement_cred Path to the endorsement credential for your TPM. Your TPM manufacturer
may have provided you with a set of credentials (certificates) that should be used when
creating identities using your TPM. When a user of your TPM makes an identity, this
credential will be encrypted as part of that process. See the 1.1b TPM Main specification
section 9.3 for information on this process.

remote_ops A list of TCS commands which will be allowed to be executed on this machine's
TCSD by TSP's on non-local hosts (over the internet). By default, access to all operations
is denied.

host_platform_class Determines the TCG specification of the host's platform class. This
refers to one of the specifications contained in the TCG web site. The default is PC
specification version 1.2 .

all_platform_classes Specifies all the TCG defined platforms associated with the host
platform. The host_platform_class must not be defined here. By default, all platforms but
the host platform are associated.

EXAMPLE

              port = 30003
              num_threads = 10
              system_ps_file = /usr/local/var/tpm/system.data
              firmware_log_file = /proc/tpm/firmware_events
              kernel_log_file = /proc/tcg/measurement_events
              firmware_pcrs = 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7
              kernel_pcrs = 10,11
              platform_cred = /usr/local/var/lib/tpm/platform.cert
              conformance_cred = /usr/local/var/lib/tpm/conformance.cert
              endorsement_cred = /usr/local/var/lib/tpm/endorsement.cert
              remote_ops = create_key,random
              host_platform_class = server_12
              all_platform_classes = pc_11,pc_12,mobile_12
