REQUEST-KEY(8) Linux Key Management Utilities REQUEST-KEY(8)
request-key - handle key instantiation callback requests from the kernel
/sbin/request-key <op> <key> <uid> <gid> <threadring> <processring> <sessionring> [<info>]
This program is invoked by the kernel when the kernel is asked for a key that it doesn't have immediately available. The kernel creates a partially set up key and then calls out to this program to instantiate it. It is not intended to be called directly.
All errors will be logged to the syslog.
/etc/request-key.conf Instantiation handler configuration file. /etc/request-key.d/<keytype>.conf Keytype specific configuration file.
