NAME

       certmonger

SYNOPSIS

       certmonger [-s|-S] [-b TIMEOUT|-B] [-n|-f] [-d LEVEL] [-p FILE] [-F]

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.

       -b TIMEOUT
              Behave as a bus-activated service: if there are no certificates to be monitored  or
              obtained, and no requests received within TIMEOUT seconds, exit.

       -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.

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.
