The recommended approach is to use a single configuration + file, and to put all of the parameters that a normal user might need to + change into a single section of that configuration file, then reference + these common settings from the program-specific sections of the + configuration file via macro expansion. The configuration file parser + supports a limited version of the macro facility used in OpenSSL's + configuration parser. An expression such as + +foo = ${bar::baz} + + sets foo to the value of the baz variable from section bar. The section + name ENV is special: it refers to environment variables. + + The default name for the shared configuration file is myrpki.conf. + +[myrpki] + + The [myrpki] section of myrpki.conf contains all the parameters that + you really need to configure. + +# Handle naming hosted resource-holding entity (<self/>) represented +# by this myrpki instance. Syntax is an identifier (ASCII letters, +# digits, hyphen, underscore -- no whitespace, non-ASCII characters, +# or other punctuation). You need to set this. + +handle = Me + + Every resource-holding or server-operating entity needs a "handle", + which is just an identifier by which the entity calls itself.
