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.
