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 gener-
     ation 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  loca-
	    tion  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 TIME-
	    OUT 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 op-
	    tion was also specified, the command will be run with  the	CERTMON-
	    GER_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/certmon-
     ger/cas,  or  in  a  directory  named by the CERTMONGER_CAS_DIR environment
     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 com-
     pile time.
