SYNOPSIS

12
13

DESCRIPTION

15       tpm_takeownership setup an owner on the system's TPM (via the
16       TPM_TakeOwnership API).  This operation requires the TPM to be enabled
17       and can be restricted by tpm_setownable.  The command will prompt for
18       owner and SRK passwords and confirmations of these if executed without
19       either of the -well-known options, otherwise, a secret of all zeros is
20       set for the requested password.  After the second confirmation, be
21       patient as the command may take awhile.
