Postfix manual - tlsmgr(8)

Версия для печати

TLSMGR(8) TLSMGR(8) NAME tlsmgr - Postfix TLS session cache and PRNG manager SYNOPSIS tlsmgr [generic Postfix daemon options] DESCRIPTION The tlsmgr(8) manages the Postfix TLS session caches. It stores and retrieves cache entries on request by smtpd(8) and smtp(8) processes, and periodically removes entries that have expired. The tlsmgr(8) also manages the PRNG (pseudo random number generator) pool. It answers queries by the smtpd(8) and smtp(8) processes to seed their internal PRNG pools. The tlsmgr(8)'s PRNG pool is initially seeded from an external source (EGD, /dev/urandom, or regular file). It is updated at configurable pseudo-random intervals with data from the external source. It is updated periodically with data from TLS session cache entries and with the time of day, and is updated with the time of day whenever a process requests tlsmgr(8) service. The tlsmgr(8) saves the PRNG state to an exchange file periodically and when the process terminates, and reads the exchange file when initializing its PRNG. SECURITY The tlsmgr(8) is not security-sensitive. The code that maintains the external and internal PRNG pools does not "trust" the data that it manipulates, and the code that maintains the TLS session cache does not touch the con- tents of the cached entries, except for seeding its inter- nal PRNG pool. The tlsmgr(8) can be run chrooted and with reduced privi- leges. At process startup it connects to the entropy source and exchange file, and creates or truncates the optional TLS session cache files. DIAGNOSTICS Problems and transactions are logged to the syslog daemon. BUGS There is no automatic means to limit the number of entries in the TLS session caches and/or the size of the TLS cache files. CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS Changes to main.cf are not picked up automatically, because tlsmgr(8) is a persistent processes. Use the com- mand "postfix reload" after a configuration change. The text below provides only a parameter summary. See postconf(5) for more details including examples. TLS SESSION CACHE smtpd_tls_session_cache_database (empty) Name of the file containing the optional Postfix SMTP server TLS session cache. smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout (3600s) The expiration time of Postfix SMTP server TLS ses- sion cache information. smtp_tls_session_cache_database (empty) Name of the file containing the optional Postfix SMTP client TLS session cache. smtp_tls_session_cache_timeout (3600s) The expiration time of Postfix SMTP client TLS ses- sion cache information. PSEUDO RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR tls_random_source (see 'postconf -d' output) The external entropy source for the in-memory tlsmgr(8) pseudo random number generator (PRNG) pool. tls_random_bytes (32) The number of bytes that tlsmgr(8) reads from $tls_random_source when (re)seeding the in-memory pseudo random number generator (PRNG) pool. tls_random_exchange_name (${config_directory}/prng_exch) Name of the pseudo random number generator (PRNG) state file that is maintained by tlsmgr(8). tls_random_prng_update_period (3600s) The time between attempts by tlsmgr(8) to save the state of the pseudo random number generator (PRNG) to the file specified with $tls_ran- dom_exchange_name. tls_random_reseed_period (3600s) The maximal time between attempts by tlsmgr(8) to re-seed the in-memory pseudo random number genera- tor (PRNG) pool from external sources. MISCELLANEOUS CONTROLS config_directory (see 'postconf -d' output) The default location of the Postfix main.cf and master.cf configuration files. daemon_timeout (18000s) How much time a Postfix daemon process may take to handle a request before it is terminated by a built-in watchdog timer. process_id (read-only) The process ID of a Postfix command or daemon process. process_name (read-only) The process name of a Postfix command or daemon process. syslog_facility (mail) The syslog facility of Postfix logging. syslog_name (postfix) The mail system name that is prepended to the process name in syslog records, so that "smtpd" becomes, for example, "postfix/smtpd".
