## NOTES

### Client certificates

**ereandel** can work with client certificates if capsules requires them for authentication. **ereandel** allows a single client certificate per (sub)domain identified by it's name. If a client cert for a specific domain is available ereandel will send it to the server with every request. When a resource requires a client cert and ereandel can't find one it will show you a command to create a client cert for the capsule. The certificates are stored in *$XDG\_CONFIG\_DIR/ereandel/certs/*.

To remove a certificate simply delete the *\<domain\>.crt* and *\<domain\>.key* files in the directory mentioned above.

## CONFIGURATION

You can setup a config file at *$XDG\_CONFIG\_DIR/ereandel/ereandel.conf* to configure **ereandel** the way you like. The file uses a simple **key=value** style, see the complete example for the default values below.
