kxc-cryptsetup (1)

kxc-cryptsetup <NAME>

kxc(1) is a client for kxd, a key exchange daemon.

kxc-cryptsetup is a convenience wrapper for invoking kxc while taking the options from the files in /etc/kxc/.

It can be used as a cryptsetup keyscript, to automatically get keys to open encrypted devices with kxc.

Its only command-line argument is a descriptive name, which will be used to find the configuration files.

For a given NAME that is passed as the only command-line argument, the following files are needed:

/etc/kxc/NAME.key.pem

Private key to use.

/etc/kxc/NAME.cert.pem

Certificate to use. Must match the given key.

/etc/kxc/NAME.server_cert.pem

Server certificate, used to validate the server.

/etc/kxc/NAME.url

Contains the URL to the key; usually in the form of kxd://server/name.

kxc(1), kxd(1), crypttab(5), cryptsetup(8).
