The possible options are:

<emphasis>Note:</emphasis> all option values are subject to
115
start time expansion, see <xref linkend="expansion"/>.
118
Uknown options are ignored. The used options are as follows:
166
174
<term><literal>checker</literal></term>
176
<synopsis><literal>checker = </literal><replaceable
177
>COMMAND</replaceable>
169
180
This option allows you to override the default shell
170
command that the server will use to check up if the client
171
is still up. By default mandos will "fping -q -- %%(host)s"
181
command that the server will use to check if the client is
182
still up. Any output of the command will be ignored, only
183
the exit code is checked: If the exit code of the command
184
is zero, the client is considered up. The command will be
185
run using <quote><command><filename>/bin/sh</filename>
186
<option>-c</option></command></quote>, so
187
<varname>PATH</varname> will be searched. The default
188
value for the checker command is <quote><literal
189
><command>fping</command> <option>-q</option> <option
190
>--</option> %(host)s</literal></quote>.
193
In addition to normal start time expansion, this option
194
will also be subject to runtime expansion; see <xref
195
linkend="expansion"/>.

201
<term><literal>fingerprint</literal></term>
203
<synopsis><literal>fingerprint = </literal><replaceable
204
>HEXSTRING</replaceable>
180
This option sets the openpgp fingerprint that identifies
181
the public certificate that clients authenticates themself
182
through gnutls. The string need to be in hex-decimal form.
207
This option sets the OpenPGP fingerprint that identifies
208
the public key that clients authenticate themselves with
209
through TLS. The string needs to be in hexidecimal form,
210
but spaces or upper/lower case are not significant.
188
216
<term><literal>secret</literal></term>
191
Base 64 encoded OpenPGP encrypted password encrypted by
192
the clients openpgp certificate.
218
<synopsis><literal>secret = </literal><replaceable
219
>BASE64_ENCODED_DATA</replaceable>
222
If present, this option must be set to a string of
223
base64-encoded binary data. It will be decoded and sent
224
to the client matching the above
225
<option>fingerprint</option>. This should, of course, be
226
OpenPGP encrypted data, decryptable only by the client.
227
The program <citerefentry><refentrytitle><command
228
>mandos-keygen</command></refentrytitle><manvolnum
229
>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> can, using its
230
<option>--password</option> option, be used to generate
234
Note: this value of this option will probably be very
235
long. A useful feature to avoid having unreadably-long
236
lines is that a line beginning with white space adds to
237
the value of the previous line, RFC 822-style.
240
If this option is not specified, the <option
241
>secfile</option> option is used instead, but one of them
242
<emphasis>must</emphasis> be present.
198
248
<term><literal>secfile</literal></term>
201
Base 64 encoded OpenPGP encrypted password encrypted by
202
the clients openpgp certificate as a binary file.

<synopsis><literal>secfile = </literal><replaceable
251
>FILENAME</replaceable>
254
The same as <option>secret</option>, but the secret data
255
is in an external file. The contents of the file should
256
<emphasis>not</emphasis> be base64-encoded, but will be
257
sent to clients verbatim.
260
This option is only used, and <emphasis>must</emphasis> be
261
present, if <option>secret</option> is not specified.
208
267
<term><literal>host</literal></term>
269
<synopsis><literal>host = </literal><replaceable
270
>STRING</replaceable>
211
Host name that can be used in for checking that the client is up.
273
Host name for this client. This is not used by the server
274
directly, but can be, and is by default, used by the
275
checker. See the <option>checker</option> option.
