CERTMONGER(8)		    System Manager's Manual		 CERTMONGER(8)

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.cert-
       monger 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 lo-
	      cation 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  out-
	      put.  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 lis-
	      tening 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/cert-
       monger/cas, or in a directory named by the CERTMONGER_CAS_DIR  environ-
       ment variable.

       Temporary  files	will be	stored in "", or in the	directory named	by the
       CERTMONGER_TMPDIR environment variable if that value was	not  given  at
       compile time.

BUGS
       Please	file   tickets	for  any  that	you  find  at  https://fedora-
       hosted.org/certmonger/
