8 tcsd.conf - configuration file for the trousers TCS daemon.
9
11 This file, by default /etc/tcsd.conf is read by the trousers TCSD dae‐
12 mon, tcsd (see tcsd(8)). The tcsd.conf file that is installed by
13 trousers contains all the default options, commented out.
14
16 port The port that TCSD will listen on for connections, local and
17 remote, from applications.
18 num_threads The maximum number of threads that the TCSD will spawn
20 simultaneously to service applications. After num_threads threads have
21 been spawned, any application that attempts to connect to the TCSD will
22 receive an error.
23 system_ps_file The location of the system persistent storage file. The
25 system persistent storage file holds keys and data across restarts of
26 the TCSD and system reboots.
27 firmware_log_file Path to the file containing the current firmware PCR
29 event log data. The interface to this log is usually provided by the
30 TPM device driver.
31 kernel_log_file Path to the file containing the current kernel PCR
33 event log data. By default, this data will be parsed in the format pro‐
34 vided by the Integrity Measurement Architecture LSM.
35 firmware_pcrs A list of PCR indices that are manipulated only by the
37 system firmware and therefore are not extended or logged by the TCSD.
38 Applications that call Tcsi_PcrExtend on PCRs listed here will receive
39 an error.
40 kernel_pcrs A list of PCR indices that are manipulated only by the ker‐
42 nel and therefore are not extended or logged by the TCSD. Applications
43 that call Tcsi_PcrExtend on PCRs listed here will receive an error.
44 platform_cred Path to the platform credential for your TPM. Your TPM
46 manufacturer may have provided you with a set of credentials (certifi‐
47 cates) that should be used when creating identities using your TPM.
48 When a user of your TPM makes an identity, this credential will be
49 encrypted as part of that process. See the 1.1b TPM Main specification
50 section 9.3 for information on this process.
51 conformance_cred Path to the conformance credential for your TPM. Your
53 TPM manufacturer may have provided you with a set of credentials (cer‐
54 tificates) that should be used when creating identities using your TPM.
55 When a user of your TPM makes an identity, this credential will be
56 encrypted as part of that process. See the 1.1b TPM Main specification
57 section 9.3 for information on this process.
58 endorsement_cred Path to the endorsement credential for your TPM. Your
60 TPM manufacturer may have provided you with a set of credentials (cer‐
61 tificates) that should be used when creating identities using your TPM.
62 When a user of your TPM makes an identity, this credential will be
63 encrypted as part of that process. See the 1.1b TPM Main specification
64 section 9.3 for information on this process.
65 remote_ops A list of TCS commands which will be allowed to be executed
67 on this machine's TCSD by TSP's on non-local hosts (over the internet).
68 By default, access to all operations is denied.
69 host_platform_class Determines the TCG specification of the host's
71 platform class. This refers to one of the specifications contained in
72 the TCG web site. The default is PC specification version 1.2 .
73 all_platform_classes Specifies all the TCG defined platforms associated
75 with the host platform. The host_platform_class must not be defined
76 here. By default, all platforms but the host platform are associated.
