+= [myrpki] section = #myrpki
+
+The "`[myrpki]`" section contains all the parameters that you really
+need to configure. The name "`myrpki`" is historical and may change in
+the future.
+
+== handle == #handle
+
+Every resource-holding or server-operating entity needs a "handle",
+which is just an identifier by which the entity calls itself. Handles
+do not need to be globally unique, but should be chosen with an eye
+towards debugging operational problems: it's best if you use a handle
+that your parents and children will recognize as being you.
+
+The "`handle`" option in the "`[myrpki]`" section specifies the
+default handle for this installation. Previous versions of the CA
+tools required a separate configuration file, each with its own handle
+setting, for each hosted entity. The current code allows the current
+handle to be selected at runtime in both the GUI and command line user
+interface tools, so the handle setting here is just the default when
+you don't set one explictly. In the long run, this option may go away
+entirely, but for now you need to set this.
+
+Syntax is an identifier (ASCII letters, digits, hyphen, underscore --
+no whitespace, non-ASCII characters, or other punctuation).
+
+No default value.
+
+== bpki_servers_directory == #bpki_servers_directory
+
+Directory for BPKI files generated by rpkic and used by rpkid and
+pubd. You will not normally need to change this.
+
+{{{
+#!ini
+bpki_servers_directory = ${autoconf::datarootdir}/rpki
+}}}
+
+== run_rpkid == #run_rpkid
+
+Whether you want to run your own copy of rpkid (and irdbd). Leave this
+alone unless you're doing something unusual like running a pubd-only
+installation.
+
+{{{
+#!ini
+run_rpkid = yes
+}}}
+
+== rpkid_server_host == #rpkid_server_host
+
+DNS hostname for rpkid. In most cases, this must resolve to a
+publicly-reachable address to be useful, as your RPKI children will
+need to contact your rpkid at this address.
+
+No default value.
+
+== rpkid_server_port == #rpkid_server_port
+
+Server port number for rpkid. This can be any legal TCP port number
+that you're not using for something else.
+
+{{{
+#!ini
+rpkid_server_port = 4404
+}}}
+
+== irdbd_server_host == #irdbd_server_host
+
+DNS hostname for irdbd, or "`localhost`". This should be "`localhost`"
+unless you really know what you are doing.
+
+{{{
+#!ini
+irdbd_server_host = localhost
+}}}
+
+== irdbd_server_port == #irdbd_server_port
+
+Server port number for irdbd. This can be any legal TCP port number
+that you're not using for something else.
+
+{{{
+#!ini
+irdbd_server_port = 4403
+}}}
+
+== run_pubd == #run_pubd
+
+Whether you want to run your own copy of pubd. In general, it's best
+to use your parent's pubd if your parent allows you to do so, because
+this will reduce the overall number of publication sites from which
+relying parties will need to retrieve data. However, not all parents
+offer publication service, or you may need to run pubd yourself for
+reliability reasons, or because you're certifying private address
+space or private Autonomous System Numbers.
+
+The out of band setup protocol will attempt to negotiate publication
+service for you with whatever publication service your parent is
+using, if it can and if you let it.
+
+{{{
+#!ini
+run_pubd = yes
+}}}
+
+== pubd_server_host == #pubd_server_host
+
+DNS hostname for pubd, if you're running it. This must resolve to a
+publicly reachable address to be useful.
+
+No default value.
+
+== pubd_server_port == #pubd_server_port
+
+Server port number for pubd. This can be any legal TCP port number
+that you're not using for something else.
+
+{{{
+#!ini
+pubd_server_port = 4402
+}}}
+
+== pubd_contact_info == #pubd_contact_info
+
+Contact information to include in offers of repository service. This
+only matters when you're running pubd. This should be a human readable
+string, perhaps containing an email address or URL.
+
+No default value.
+
+== run_rootd == #run_rootd
+
+Whether you want to run your very own copy of rootd. Don't enable this
+unless you really know what you're doing.
+
+{{{
+#!ini
+run_rootd = no
+}}}
+
+== rootd_server_host == #rootd_server_host
+
+DNS hostname for rootd, if you're running it. This should be localhost
+unless you really know what you are doing.
+
+{{{
+#!ini
+rootd_server_host = localhost
+}}}
+
+== rootd_server_port == #rootd_server_port
+
+Server port number for rootd, if you're running it. This can be any
+legal TCP port number that you're not using for something else.
+
+{{{
+#!ini
+rootd_server_port = 4401
+}}}
+
+== publication_base_directory == #publication_base_directory
+
+Root of local directory tree where pubd should write out published
+data. You need to configure this, and the configuration should match
+up with the directory where you point rsyncd. Neither pubd nor rsyncd
+much cares //where// you tell it to put this stuff, the important
+thing is that the rsync URIs in generated certificates match up with
+the published objects so that relying parties can find and verify
+rpkid's published outputs.
+
+{{{
+#!ini
+publication_base_directory = ${autoconf::datarootdir}/rpki/publication
+}}}
+
+== publication_root_cert_directory == #publication_root_cert_directory
+
+Root of local directory tree where rootd (sigh) should write out
+published data. This is just like publication_base_directory, but
+rootd is too dumb to use pubd and needs its own directory in which to
+write one certificate, one CRL, and one manifest. Neither rootd nor
+rsyncd much cares //where// you tell them to put this stuff, the
+important thing is that the rsync URIs in generated certificates match
+up with the published objects so that relying parties can find and
+verify rootd's published outputs.
+
+{{{
+#!ini
+publication_root_cert_directory = ${myrpki::publication_base_directory}.root
+}}}
+
+== publication_rsync_module == #publication_rsync_module
+
+rsyncd module name corresponding to publication_base_directory. This
+has to match the module you configured into `rsyncd.conf`. Leave this
+alone unless you have some need to change it.
+
+{{{
+#!ini
+publication_rsync_module = rpki
+}}}
+
+== publication_root_module == #publication_root_module
+
+rsyncd module name corresponding to publication_root_cert_directory.
+This has to match the module you configured into `rsyncd.conf`. Leave
+this alone unless you have some need to change it.
+
+{{{
+#!ini
+publication_root_module = root
+}}}
+
+== publication_rsync_server == #publication_rsync_server
+
+Hostname and optional port number for rsync URIs. In most cases this
+should just be the same value as pubd_server_host.
+
+{{{
+#!ini
+publication_rsync_server = ${myrpki::pubd_server_host}
+}}}
+
+== start_rpkid == #start_rpkid
+
+rpkid startup control. This should usually have the same value as
+run_rpkid: the only case where you would want to change this is when
+you are running the back-end code on a different machine from one or
+more of the daemons, in which case you need finer control over which
+daemons to start on which machines. In such cases, run_rpkid controls
+whether the back-end code is doing things to manage rpkid, while
+start_rpkid controls whether rpki-start-servers attempts to start
+rpkid on this machine.
+
+{{{
+#!ini
+start_rpkid = ${myrpki::run_rpkid}
+}}}
+
+== start_irdbd == #start_irdbd

+you are running the back-end code on a different machine from one or
+more of the daemons, in which case you need finer control over which
+daemons to start on which machines. In such cases, run_rpkid controls
+whether the back-end code is doing things to manage rpkid, while
+start_irdbd controls whether rpki-start-servers attempts to start
+irdbd on this machine.

+start_irdbd = ${myrpki::run_rpkid}
+}}}

+== start_pubd == #start_pubd
+
+pubd startup control. This should usually have the same value as
+run_pubd: the only case where you would want to change this is when
+you are running the back-end code on a different machine from one or
+more of the daemons, in which case you need finer control over which
+daemons to start on which machines. In such cases, run_pubd controls
+whether the back-end code is doing things to manage pubd, while

+on this machine.
+
+{{{

+you are running the back-end code on a different machine from one or
+more of the daemons, in which case you need finer control over which

+
+== shared_sql_username == #shared_sql_username
+
+If you're comfortable with having all of the databases use the same
+MySQL username, set that value here. The default setting of this
+variable should be fine.
+
+{{{
+#!ini
+shared_sql_username = rpki
+}}}
+
+== shared_sql_password == #shared_sql_password
+
+If you're comfortable with having all of the databases use the same
+MySQL password, set that value here. You should use a locally
+generated password either here or in the individual settings below.
+The installation process generates a random value for this option,
+which satisfies this requirement, so ordinarily you should have no
+need to change this option.
+
+No default value.
+
+== rpkid_sql_database == #rpkid_sql_database
+
+SQL database name for rpkid's database. The default setting of this
+variable should be fine.
