REQUEST-KEY(8) Linux Key Management Utilities REQUEST-KEY(8)
request-key - handle key instantiation callback requests from the
kernel
/sbin/request-key <op> <key> <uid> <gid> <threadring>
<processring> <sessionring> [<info>]
This program is invoked by the kernel when the kernel is asked
for a key that it doesn't have immediately available. The kernel
creates a partially set up key and then calls out to this program
to instantiate it. It is not intended to be called directly.
However, for debugging purposes, it can be given some options on
the command line:
-d Turn on debugging mode. In this mode, no attempts are
made to access any keys and, if a handler program is
selected, it won't be executed; instead, this program will
print a message and exit 0.
-D In debugging mode, use the proposed key description
specified with this rather than the sample
("user;0;0;1f0000;debug:1234") built into the program.
-l Use configuration from the current directory. The program
will use request-key.d/* and request-key.conf from the
current directory rather than from /etc.
-n Don't log to the system log. Ordinarily, error messages
and debugging messages will be copied to the system log -
this will prevent that.
-v Turn on debugging output. This may be specified multiple
times to produce increasing levels of verbosity.
--version
Print the program version and exit.
All errors will be logged to the syslog.
/etc/request-key.d/*.conf Individual configuration files.
/etc/request-key.conf Fallback configuration file.
