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

- -b TIMEOUT

- Don't behave as a bus-activated service. This is the default.
- -n
- Don't fork, and log messages to stderr rather than syslog.

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 environment 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.
