NAME

swtpm_setup.conf - Configuration file for swtpm_setup  

DESCRIPTION

The file /etc/swtpm_setup.conf contains configuration information for swtpm_setup. It must only contain one configuration keyword per line, followed by an equals sign (=) and then followed by appropriate configuration information. A comment at the end of the line may be introduced by a hash (#) sign.

Users may write their own configuration into ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/swtpm_setup.conf or if XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set it may be in ${HOME}/.config/swtpm_setup.conf.

The following keywords are recognized:

create_certs_tool
This keyword is to be followed by the name of an executable or executable script used for creating various TPM certificates. The tool will be called with the following options
--type type
This parameter indicates the type of certificate to create. The type parameter may be one of the following: ek, or platform
--dir dir
This parameter indicates the directory into which the certificate is to be stored. It is expected that the EK certificate is stored in this directory under the name ek.cert and the platform certificate under the name platform.cert.
