# nuclient.conf(5)

nuauth client configuration file

## NAME

nuclient.conf - nuauth client configuration file

## SYNOPSIS

**/etc/nuclient.conf**

## DESCRIPTION

The configuration file **nuclient.conf** is used by all nuauth clients (for ex, nutcpc or nuapplet2).

The file is designed to be human readable and contains a list of keywords with values that provide configuration values for libnuclient. Configuration file uses the key=value format.

Note that strings must be enclosed into double-quotes signs (").

Global configuration file is stored in *CONFDIR/nuclient.conf* and per-user file can be stored in *HOME/.nufw/nuclient.conf*. Any variable set in the user file will overwrite the one set in the global file.

Original packaging and informations and help can be found from http://www.nufw.org/

## OPTIONS

The different configuration options are:

- **nuauth\_ip**

  Name of the nuauth server (fully qualified domain name, or IP address).

- **nuauth\_port**

  Port number to use on the nuauth server (default: 4129).

- **nuauth\_tls\_ca**

  Certificate authority used to check the validity of nuauth certificate.

- **nuauth\_tls\_cert**

  Certificate file used to negotiate the TLS connection to nuauth.

- **nuauth\_tls\_key**

  Key of the certificate file from the *nuauth\_tls\_cert* option.

- **nuauth\_tls\_crl**

  Certificate revocation list file to use. If the client is disconnected from nuauth, it will reload this file at reconnect.

- **nuauth\_suppress\_fqdn\_verif**

  If set to 1, suppress error if server FQDN does not match certificate CN (default: 0).
