<title>OPTIONS</title>
110
The possible options are:
114
<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:
116
<term><literal><varname>timeout</varname></literal></term>
124
<term><option>timeout<literal> = </literal><replaceable
125
>TIME</replaceable></option></term>
118
<synopsis><literal>timeout = </literal><replaceable
122
128
The timeout is how long the server will wait for a
123
129
successful checker run until a client is considered
160
164
as for <varname>timeout</varname> above.
166
<term><literal>checker</literal></term>
170
<term><option>checker<literal> = </literal><replaceable
171
>COMMAND</replaceable></option></term>
169
174
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"
177
<term><literal>fingerprint</literal></term>
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.
188
<term><literal>secret</literal></term>
191
Base 64 encoded OpenPGP encrypted password encrypted by
192
the clients openpgp certificate.
198
<term><literal>secfile</literal></term>
201
Base 64 encoded OpenPGP encrypted password encrypted by
202
the clients openpgp certificate as a binary file.
208
<term><literal>host</literal></term>
211
Host name that can be used in for checking that the client is up.
217
<term><literal>checker</literal></term>
220
Shell command that the server will use to check up if a
227
<term><literal>timeout</literal></term>
230
Duration that a client can be down whitout be removed from
175
command that the server will use to check if the client is
176
still up. Any output of the command will be ignored, only
177
the exit code is checked: If the exit code of the command
178
is zero, the client is considered up. The command will be
179
run using <quote><command><filename>/bin/sh</filename>
180
<option>-c</option></command></quote>, so
181
<varname>PATH</varname> will be searched. The default
182
value for the checker command is <quote><literal
183
><command>fping</command> <option>-q</option> <option
184
>--</option> %(host)s</literal></quote>.
187
In addition to normal start time expansion, this option
188
will also be subject to runtime expansion; see <xref
189
linkend="expansion"/>.
195
<term><option>fingerprint<literal> = </literal
196
><replaceable>HEXSTRING</replaceable></option></term>
199
This option sets the OpenPGP fingerprint that identifies
200
the public key that clients authenticate themselves with
201
through TLS. The string needs to be in hexidecimal form,
202
but spaces or upper/lower case are not significant.
208
<term><option>secret<literal> = </literal><replaceable
209
>BASE64_ENCODED_DATA</replaceable></option></term>
212
If present, this option must be set to a string of
213
base64-encoded binary data. It will be decoded and sent
214
to the client matching the above
215
<option>fingerprint</option>. This should, of course, be
216
OpenPGP encrypted data, decryptable only by the client.
217
The program <citerefentry><refentrytitle><command
218
>mandos-keygen</command></refentrytitle><manvolnum
219
>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> can, using its
220
<option>--password</option> option, be used to generate
224
Note: this value of this option will probably be very
225
long. A useful feature to avoid having unreadably-long
226
lines is that a line beginning with white space adds to
227
the value of the previous line, RFC 822-style.
230
If this option is not specified, the <option
231
>secfile</option> option is used instead, but one of them
232
<emphasis>must</emphasis> be present.
238
<term><option>secfile<literal> = </literal><replaceable
239
>FILENAME</replaceable></option></term>
242
Similar to the <option>secret</option>, except the secret
243
data is in an external file. The contents of the file
244
should <emphasis>not</emphasis> be base64-encoded, but
245
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.
255
<term><option><literal>host = </literal><replaceable
256
>STRING</replaceable></option></term>
259
Host name for this client. This is not used by the server
260
directly, but can be, and is by default, used by the
261
checker. See the <option>checker</option> option.
