<command>&COMMANDNAME;</command> is a server daemon which
114
119
handles incoming request for passwords for a pre-defined list of
115
client host computers. The Mandos server uses Zeroconf to
116
announce itself on the local network, and uses TLS to
117
communicate securely with and to authenticate the clients. The
118
Mandos server uses IPv6 to allow Mandos clients to use IPv6
119
link-local addresses, since the clients will probably not have
120
any other addresses configured (see <xref linkend="overview"/>).
121
Any authenticated client is then given the stored pre-encrypted
122
password for that specific client.

for some time, the client is assumed to be compromised and is no
330
355
longer eligible to receive the encrypted password. (Manual
331

intervention is required to re-enable a client.) The timeout,

The server can be configured to require manual approval for a
370
client before it is sent its secret. The delay to wait for such
371
approval and the default action (approve or deny) can be

configured both globally and per client; see <citerefentry>

This can be used to deny a client its secret if not manually

approved within a specified time. It can also be used to make
380
the server delay before giving a client its secret, allowing
381
optional manual denying of this specific client.
