Mandos 1.8.19                                      2019-07-29                                      MANDOS-CTL(8)

mandos-ctl is a program to control or query the operation of the Mandos server mandos(8).

       This program can be used to change client settings, approve or deny client requests, and to remove
       clients from the server.

       To list all clients:

       mandos-ctl

       To list all settings for the clients named “foo1.example.org” and “foo2.example.org”:

       mandos-ctl--verbosefoo1.example.orgfoo2.example.org

       To enable all clients:

       mandos-ctl--enable--all

       To change timeout and interval value for the clients named “foo1.example.org” and “foo2.example.org”:

       mandos-ctl--timeout=PT5M--interval=PT1Mfoo1.example.orgfoo2.example.org

       To approve all clients currently waiting for approval:

       mandos-ctl--approve--all

       If the --is-enabled option is used, the exit status will be 0 only if the specified client is enabled.

--help, -h
           Show a help message and exit

       --enable, -e
           Enable client(s). An enabled client will be eligble to receive its secret.

       --disable, -d
           Disable client(s). A disabled client will not be eligble to receive its secret, and no checkers will
           be started for it.

       --bump-timeout
           Bump the timeout of the specified client(s), just as if a checker had completed successfully for
           it/them.

       --start-checker
           Start a new checker now for the specified client(s).

       --stop-checker
           Stop any running checker for the specified client(s).

       --remove, -r
           Remove the specified client(s) from the server.

       --checkerCOMMAND, -cCOMMAND
           Set the checker option of the specified client(s); see mandos-clients.conf(5).

       --timeoutTIME, -tTIME
           Set the timeout option of the specified client(s); see mandos-clients.conf(5).

       --extended-timeoutTIME
           Set the extended_timeout option of the specified client(s); see mandos-clients.conf(5).

       --intervalTIME, -iTIME
           Set the interval option of the specified client(s); see mandos-clients.conf(5).

       --approve-by-default, --deny-by-default
           Set the approved_by_default option of the specified client(s) to True or False, respectively; see
           mandos-clients.conf(5).

       --approval-delayTIME
           Set the approval_delay option of the specified client(s); see mandos-clients.conf(5).

       --approval-durationTIME
           Set the approval_duration option of the specified client(s); see mandos-clients.conf(5).

       --hostSTRING, -HSTRING
           Set the host option of the specified client(s); see mandos-clients.conf(5).

       --secretFILENAME, -sFILENAME
           Set the secfile option of the specified client(s); see mandos-clients.conf(5).

       --approve, -A
           Approve client(s) if currently waiting for approval.

       --deny, -D
           Deny client(s) if currently waiting for approval.

       --all, -a
           Make the client-modifying options modify all clients.

       --verbose, -v
           Show all client settings, not just a subset.

       --dump-json, -j
           Dump client settings as JSON to standard output.

       --is-enabled, -V
           Check if a single client is enabled or not, and exit with a successful exit status only if the client
           is enabled.

       --debug
           Show debug output; currently, this means show D-Bus calls.

       --check
           Run self-tests. This includes any unit tests, etc.

       This is part of the Mandos system for allowing computers to have encrypted root file systems and at the
       same time be capable of remote and/or unattended reboots. The computers run a small client program in the
       initial RAM disk environment which will communicate with a server over a network. All network
       communication is encrypted using TLS. The clients are identified by the server using a TLS key; each
       client has one unique to it. The server sends the clients an encrypted password. The encrypted password
       is decrypted by the clients using a separate OpenPGP key, and the password is then used to unlock the
       root file system, whereupon the computers can continue booting normally.

       This program is a small utility to generate new OpenPGP keys for new Mandos clients, and to generate
       sections for inclusion in clients.conf on the server.

       The purpose of this is to enable remoteandunattendedrebooting of client host computer with an
       encryptedrootfilesystem. See the section called “OVERVIEW” for details.

       This program must be permitted to access the Mandos server via the D-Bus interface. This normally
       requires the root user, but could be configured otherwise by reconfiguring the D-Bus server.
