14 For coap-rd versions that use libcoap compiled for different (D)TLS
15 libraries, coap-rd-notls, coap-rd-gnutls, coap-rd-openssl,
16 coap-rd-mbedtls or coap-rd-tinydtls may be available. Otherwise,
17 coap-rd uses the default libcoap (D)TLS support.
18
20 coap-rd is a simple CoAP Resource Directory server that can handle
21 resource registrations using the protocol CoAP (RFC 7252).
22
24 -g group
25 Join specified multicast group on startup. Note: DTLS over
26 multicast is not currently supported.
27
28 -p port
29 The port on the given address will be listening for incoming
30 connections. If (D)TLS is supported, then port + 1 will also be
31 listened on for (D)TLS connections. The default port is 5683 if not
32 given any other value.
33
34 -v num
35 The verbosity level to use (default 4, maximum is 8) for general
36 CoAP logging.
37
38 -w [port][,secure_port]
39 Enable WebSockets support support on port (WS) and/or secure_port
40 (WSS), comma separated.
41
42 -A address
43 The local address of the interface which the server has to listen
44 on.
45
46 -G group_if
47 Use this interface for listening for the multicast group. This can
48 be different from the implied interface if the -A option is used.
49
50 -T max_token_size
51 Set the maximum token length (8-65804).
52
53 -V num
54 The verbosity level to use (default 3, maximum is 7) for (D)TLS
55 library logging.
56
58 (If supported by underlying (D)TLS library)
59
60 -h hint
61 Identity Hint to send. Default is CoAP. Zero length is no hint.
62
63 -k key
64 Pre-shared key to use for inbound connections. This cannot be empty
65 if defined. Note: if -c cafile is defined, you need to define -k
66 key as well to have the server support both PSK and PKI.
67
69 (If supported by underlying (D)TLS library)
70
71 -c certfile
72 Use the specified PEM file which contains the CERTIFICATE and
73 PRIVATE KEY information. Note: if -k key is defined, you need to
74 define -c certfile as well to have the server support both PSK and
75 PKI.
76
77 -n
78 Disable remote peer certificate checking. This gives clients the
79 ability to use PKI, but without any defined certificates.
80
81 -C cafile
82 PEM file that contains a list of one or more CAs that are to be
83 passed to the client for the client to determine what client
84 certificate to use. Normally, this list of CAs would be the root CA
85 and and any intermediate CAs. Ideally the server certificate should
86 be signed by the same CA so that mutual authentication can take
87 place. The contents of cafile are added to the trusted store of
88 root CAs. Using the -C or -R options will will trigger the
89 validation of the client certificate unless overridden by the -n
90 option.
91
92 -R trust_casfile
93 PEM file containing the set of trusted root CAs that are to be used
94 to validate the client certificate. Alternatively, this can point
95 to a directory containing a set of CA PEM files. The -C cafile CA
96 does not have to be in this list and is trusted for the validation.
97 Using -R trust_casfile disables common CA mutual authentication
98 which can only be done by using -C cafile. Using the -C or -R
99 options will will trigger the validation of the server certificate
100 unless overridden by the -n option.
101
103 • Example
104
105 coap-rd -A ::1
106
107 Let the server listen on localhost (port 5683).
108
109 • Example
110
111 coap-rd -A ::1 -k mysecretKey -h myhint
112
113 Let the server listen on localhost (port 5683 and 5684) with the server
114 set up for PSK authentication.
115
116 • Example
117
118 coap-rd -A ::1 -p 13011
119
120 Quite the same, except listening port is 13011 (and not the default
121 port 5683).
122
123 • Example
124
125 coap-rd -A 2001:db8:81a8:0:6ef0:dead:feed:beef -v 5
126
127 The listening address is set to 2001:db8:81a8:0:6ef0:dead:feed:beef and
128 the verbosity level is set to 5.
129
130 • Example
131
132 coap-rd -A 2001:db8:81a8:0:6ef0:dead:feed:beef -g FF02::FD
133
134 Set listening address to 2001:db8:81a8:0:6ef0:dead:feed:beef and join
135 the All CoAP Nodes multicast group FF02::FD.
136
138 There are no configuration files.
