The file needs to list all clients that should be able to use
86
the service. All clients listed will be regarded as valid, even
87
if a client was declared invalid in a previous run of the

the service. All clients listed will be regarded as enabled,
67
even if a client was disabled in a previous run of the server.

The format starts with a <literal>[<replaceable>section

start time expansion, see <xref linkend="expansion"/>.

103
<term><option>timeout<literal> = </literal><replaceable
125

>TIME</replaceable></option></term>
128
The timeout is how long the server will wait for a
129
successful checker run until a client is considered
130
invalid - that is, ineligible to get the data this server
131
holds. By default Mandos will use 1 hour.
107
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
110
The timeout is how long the server will wait (for either a
111
successful checker run or a client receiving its secret)
112
until a client is disabled and not allowed to get the data
113
this server holds. By default Mandos will use 1 hour.
134

The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a

This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.

139
How often to run the checker to confirm that a client is
155
140
still up. <emphasis>Note:</emphasis> a new checker will
156
141
not be started if an old one is still running. The server
157
142
will wait for a checker to complete until the above
158
143
<quote><varname>timeout</varname></quote> occurs, at which
159
time the client will be marked invalid, and any running
160
checker killed. The default interval is 5 minutes.

159
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
174
162
This option allows you to override the default shell
175
163
command that the server will use to check if the client is
176
164
still up. Any output of the command will be ignored, only
181
169
<varname>PATH</varname> will be searched. The default
182
170
value for the checker command is <quote><literal

184

In addition to normal start time expansion, this option

This option is <emphasis>required</emphasis>.
199
190
This option sets the OpenPGP fingerprint that identifies
200
191
the public key that clients authenticate themselves with
201
192
through TLS. The string needs to be in hexidecimal form,

203
If this option is not specified, the <option
204
>secfile</option> option is <emphasis>required</emphasis>
212
208
If present, this option must be set to a string of
213
209
base64-encoded binary data. It will be decoded and sent
214
210
to the client matching the above
226
222
lines is that a line beginning with white space adds to
227
223
the value of the previous line, RFC 822-style.
230
If this option is not specified, the <option

This option is only used if <option>secret</option> is not

specified, in which case this option is
235
<emphasis>required</emphasis>.
242
238
Similar to the <option>secret</option>, except the secret
243
239
data is in an external file. The contents of the file
244
240
should <emphasis>not</emphasis> be base64-encoded, but
245
241
will be sent to clients verbatim.
248
This option is only used, and <emphasis>must</emphasis> be
249
present, if <option>secret</option> is not specified.

This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>, but highly

<emphasis>recommended</emphasis> unless the
258
<option>checker</option> option is modified to a
259
non-standard value without <quote>%%(host)s</quote> in it.

262
Host name for this client. This is not used by the server
