Manage certificates for the Box Backup system
bbstored-certs <certs-dir> <command>
[<arguments>]
Description
bbstored-certs creates and signs certificates for
use in Box Backup. It allows the user to create and sign the server keys,
as well as signing client keys.
All commands must be followed by the certs-dir,
which is the directory in which the certificates are stored.
Commands
There are 3 commands:
init: Create the
certs-dir, and generate the server keys for
bbstored. certs-dir cannot exist before running
the command.
sign-server <servercsrfile>: Sign the
server certificate. The servercsrfile is the file
generated by the init command.
sign <clientcsrfile>: Sign a client
certificate. The clientcsrfile is generated
during client setup. See bbackupd-config(1). Send
the signed certificate back to the client, and install according to
the instructions given by bbackupd-config.
