NAME

       bbstored-certs - Manage certificates for the Box Backup system

SYNOPSIS

       bbstored-certs certs-dir command [arguments]

DESCRIPTION

       bbstored-certs creates and signs certificates for use in Box Backup. It allows the user to create and sign the server keys, as well as
       signing client keys.

       All commands must be followed by the certs-dir, which is the directory in which the certificates are stored.

   Commands
       There are 3 commands:

       init
	   Create the certs-dir, and generate the server keys for bbstored.  certs-dir cannot exist before running the command.

       sign-server servercsrfile
	   Sign the server certificate. The servercsrfile is the file generated by the init command.

       sign clientcsrfile
	   Sign a client certificate. The clientcsrfile is generated during client setup. See bbackupd-config(8). Send the signed certificate back
	   to the client, and install according to the instructions given by bbackupd-config.

FILES

       raidfile-config(8) generates the raidfile.conf(5) file.
