SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

14       The  certmonger  daemon monitors certificates for impending expiration,
15       and can optionally refresh  soon-to-be-expired  certificates  with  the
16       help  of  a CA.  If told to, it can drive the entire enrollment process
17       from key generation through enrollment and refresh.
18
19       The daemon provides a control interface via the  org.fedorahosted.cert‐
20       monger service, with which client tools such as getcert(1) interact.

OPTIONS

24       -s     Listen on the session bus rather than the system bus.
25
26       -S     Listen  on  the system bus rather than the session bus.  This is
27              the default.
28
29       -b TIMEOUT
30              Behave as a bus-activated service: if there are no  certificates
31              to  be  monitored  or  obtained, and no requests received within
32              TIMEOUT seconds, exit.
33
34       -B     Don't behave as a bus-activated service.  This is the default.
35
36       -n     Don't fork, and log messages to stderr rather than syslog.
37
38       -f     Do fork, and log messages to syslog rather than stderr.  This is
39              the default.
40
41       -d LEVEL
42              Set  debugging level.  Higher values produce more debugging out‐
43              put.  Implies -n.
44
45       -p FILE
46              Store the daemon's process ID in the named file.

FILES

50       The set of certificates being monitored  or  signed  is  tracked  using
51       files  stored  under  /var/lib/certmonger/requests,  or  in a directory
52       named by the CERTMONGER_REQUESTS_DIR environment variable.
53
54       The set of known CAs is tracked using files stored under /var/lib/cert‐
55       monger/cas,  or in a directory named by the CERTMONGER_CAS_DIR environ‐
56       ment variable.
57
58       Temporary files will be stored  in  "/var/run/certmonger",  or  in  the
59       directory  named  by the CERTMONGER_TMPDIR environment variable if that
60       value was not given at compile time.
