+# [irdbd] section
+
+irdbd's default configuration file is the system `rpki.conf` file. Start irdbd
+with "`-c filename`" to choose a different configuration file. All options are
+in the "`[irdbd]`" section.
+
+Since irdbd is part of the back-end system, it has direct access to the back-
+end's SQL database, and thus is able to pull its own BPKI configuration
+directly from the database, and thus needs a bit less configuration than the
+other daemons.
+
+## sql-database
+
+MySQL database name for irdbd.
+
+    sql-database = ${myrpki::irdbd_sql_database}
+
+## sql-username
+
+MySQL user name for irdbd.
+
+    sql-username = ${myrpki::irdbd_sql_username}
+
+## sql-password

+
+    sql-password = ${myrpki::irdbd_sql_password}
+
+## server-host

+
+    server-host = ${myrpki::irdbd_server_host}
+
+## server-port

+Port on which irdbd should listen for HTTP service requests.
+
+    server-port = ${myrpki::irdbd_server_port}
+
+## startup-message

+instances at once.
