corosync-qnetd-certutil: tool to generate qnetd TLS certificates

NAME

corosync-qnetd-certutil - tool to generate qnetd TLS certificates

SYNOPSIS

corosync-qnetd-certutil [-i|-s] [-c certificate] [-n cluster_name]

DESCRIPTION

corosync-qnetd-certutil is a frontend for the NSS certutil, it is used for generating the QNetd CA (Certificate Authority), server certificate and signing cluster certificate used by corosync-qdevice when using the model 'net'.

OPTIONS

-i

Initialize the QNetd NSS certificate database and generate the QNetd CA and server certificates. The default directory for the database is /etc/corosync/qnetd. This directory must be writeable by the current user. The QNetd CA certificate is also exported into the file /etc/corosync/qnetd/nssdb/qnetd-cacert.crt.

-s

Sign the cluster certificate. It is necessary to pass the cluster name (as configured in corosync.conf) and the certificate request file - see options below. The signed certificate will be written to the file /etc/corosync/qnetd/nssdb/cluster-$ClusterName.crt

-c

Certificate request file to sign.

-n

Name of the cluster.

NOTES

If qnetd is executed by a non root user, /etc/corosync/qnetd and its subdirectories must be owned by (or have group access for) the given user. If corosync-qnetd-certutil is executed as root it tries to copy the owner and group of /etc/corosync/qnetd to all of the created files.
