NAME

       certmonger

SYNOPSIS

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

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.

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  envi-
       ronment 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.
