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  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.

NAME

       ipa-submit

SYNOPSIS

       ipa-submit  [-h	serverHost]  [-H  serverURL] [-c cafile] [-C capath] [[-K]  | [-t keytab] [-k submitterPrincipal]] [-P principalOfRequest]
       [csrfile]

DESCRIPTION

       ipa-submit is the helper which certmonger uses to make requests to IPA-based CAs.  It is not normally run interactively, but it can be  for
       troubleshooting	purposes.   The signing request which is to be submitted should either be in a file whose name is given as an argument, or
       fed into ipa-submit via stdin.

OPTIONS

       -P csrPrincipal
	      Identifies the principal name of the service for which the certificate is being issued.  This setting is required by  IPA  and  must
	      always be specified.

       -h serverHost
	      Submit  the  request  to	the  IPA  server  running  on  the  named  host.   The	default  is  to read the location of the host from
	      /etc/ipa/default.conf.

       -H serverURL
	      Submit the request to the IPA server  at	the  specified	location.   The  default  is  to  read	the  location  of  the	host  from
	      /etc/ipa/default.conf.

       -c cafile
	      The server's certificate was issued by the CA whose certificate is in the named file.  The default value is /etc/ipa/ca.crt.

       -C capath
	      Trust  the  server if its certificate was issued by a CA whose certificate is in a file in the named directory.  There is no default
	      for this option, and it is not expected to be necessary.

       -t keytab
	      Authenticate to the IPA server using credentials derived from keys stored in the named keytab.  The default value can vary,  but	it
	      is usually /etc/krb5.keytab.  This option conflicts with the -K option.

       -k authPrincipal
	      Authenticate  to the IPA server using credentials derived from keys stored in the named keytab for this principal name.  The default
	      value is the host service for the local host in the local realm.	This option conflicts with the -K option.

       -K     Authenticate to the IPA server using credentials derived from the default credential cache rather than a keytab.	This  option  con-
	      flicts with the -k option.

EXIT STATUS

       0      if the certificate was issued. The certificate will be printed.

       1      if the CA is still thinking.  A cookie value will be printed.

       2      if the CA rejected the request.  An error message may be printed.

       3      if the CA was unreachable.  An error message may be printed.

       4      if critical configuration information is missing.  An error message may be printed.

FILES

       /etc/ipa/default.conf
	      is the IPA client configuration file.  This file is consulted to determine the URL for the IPA server's XML-RPC interface.
