[rootd] section
You don't need to run rootd unless you're IANA, are certifying private address
space, or are an RIR which refuses to accept IANA as the root of the public
address hierarchy.
Ok, if that wasn't enough to scare you off: rootd is a mess, and needs to be
rewritten, or, better, merged into rpkid. It doesn't use the publication
protocol, and it requires far too many configuration parameters.
rootd was originally intended to be a very simple program which simplified
rpkid enormously by moving one specific task (acting as the root CA of an RPKI
certificate hierarchy) out of rpkid. As the specifications and code (mostly
the latter) have evolved, however, this task has become more complicated, and
rootd would have to become much more complicated to keep up.
Don't run rootd unless you're sure that you need to do so.
Still think you need to run rootd? OK, but remember, you have been warned....
rootd's default configuration file is the system rpki.conf file. Start rootd
with "-c filename" to choose a different configuration file. All options are
in the "[rootd]" section. Certificates and keys may be in either DER or PEM
format.
bpki-ta
Where rootd should look for the BPKI trust anchor. All BPKI certificate
verification within rootd traces back to this trust anchor. Don't change this
unless you really know what you are doing.
bpki-ta = ${myrpki::bpki_servers_directory}/ca.cer


rootd-bpki-crl
BPKI CRL. Don't change this unless you really know what you are doing.
rootd-bpki-crl = ${myrpki::bpki_servers_directory}/ca.crl


rootd-bpki-cert
rootd's own BPKI EE certificate. Don't change this unless you really know what
you are doing.
rootd-bpki-cert = ${myrpki::bpki_servers_directory}/rootd.cer


rootd-bpki-key
Private key corresponding to rootd's own BPKI EE certificate. Don't change
this unless you really know what you are doing.
rootd-bpki-key = ${myrpki::bpki_servers_directory}/rootd.key


child-bpki-cert
BPKI certificate for rootd's one and only up-down child (RPKI engine to which
rootd issues an RPKI certificate). Don't change this unless you really know
what you are doing.
child-bpki-cert = ${myrpki::bpki_servers_directory}/child.cer


server-host
Server host on which rootd should listen.
server-host = ${myrpki::rootd_server_host}


server-port
Server port on which rootd should listen.
server-port = ${myrpki::rootd_server_port}


rpki-root-dir
Where rootd should write its output. Yes, rootd should be using pubd instead
of publishing directly, but it doesn't. This needs to match pubd's
configuration.
rpki-root-dir = ${myrpki::publication_base_directory}


rpki-base-uri
rsync URI corresponding to directory containing rootd's outputs.
rpki-base-uri = rsync://${myrpki::publication_rsync_server}/${myrpki::publication_rsync_module}/


rpki-root-cert-uri
rsync URI for rootd's root (self-signed) RPKI certificate.
rpki-root-cert-uri = rsync://${myrpki::publication_rsync_server}/${myrpki::publication_root_module}/root.cer


rpki-root-key
Private key corresponding to rootd's root RPKI certificate.
rpki-root-key = ${myrpki::bpki_servers_directory}/root.key


rpki-root-cert
Filename (as opposed to rsync URI) of rootd's root RPKI certificate.
rpki-root-cert = ${myrpki::publication_root_cert_directory}/root.cer


rpki-subject-pkcs10
Where rootd should stash a copy of the PKCS #10 request it gets from its
one (and only) child
rpki-subject-pkcs10 = ${myrpki::bpki_servers_directory}/rootd.subject.pkcs10


rpki-subject-lifetime
Lifetime of the one and only RPKI certificate rootd issues.
rpki-subject-lifetime = 30d


rpki-root-crl
Filename (relative to rootd-base-uri and rpki-root-dir) of the CRL for rootd's
root RPKI certificate.
rpki-root-crl = root.crl


rpki-root-manifest
Filename (relative to rootd-base-uri and rpki-root-dir) of the manifest for
rootd's root RPKI certificate.
rpki-root-manifest = root.mft


rpki-class-name
Up-down protocol class name for RPKI certificate rootd issues to its one (and
only) child.
rpki-class-name = ${myrpki::handle}


rpki-subject-cert
Filename (relative to rootd-base-uri and rpki-root-dir) of the one (and only)
RPKI certificate rootd issues.
rpki-subject-cert = ${myrpki::handle}.cer
