# Quickstart document for Cobblerd on openSUSE
#
# This is both a document and a script. Read the configuration part carefully and when finished
# you can run the script.
#
# Setting up and running cobblerd is not a easy task. Knowledge in apache configuration (setting
# up ssl, virtual hosts, apache module and wsgi) is needed. Certificates and some server
# administration knowledge is required too.
#
# Configuration
# ==============================================================================
#
# The inter process session caching module to use. Configured in /etc/apache2/ssl-global.conf.
# Possible values:
#   - shmcb             (DEFAULT)
#   - none
#   - shmht
#   - dbm
APACHE_SSL_SESSION_CACHE_MODULE=${APACHE_SSL_SESSION_CACHE_MODULE:-shmcb}

# Cobbler requires https support which in turn requires a certificate. If you are just test driving
# cobbler locally it is possible to create a self signed certificate with gensslcert. If you
# generate one add meaningful values down there.
#
# The certificate can be found at /etc/apache2/ssl*/ after running this script.
#
# Change to "true" to generate the certificate.
GENERATE_SELF_SIGNED_CERTIFICATE=${GENERATE_SELF_SIGNED_CERTIFICATE:-true}
# Empty CN gives you the default files used in /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/vhost-ssl.template
CERTIFICATE_CN=${CERTIFICATE_CN:-"$(hostname --fqdn)"}
CERTIFICATE_COMMENT=${CERTIFICATE_COMMENT:-"Paranoic ssl certificate"}
CERTIFICATE_COUNTRY=${CERTIFICATE_COUNTRY:-"BTY"}
CERTIFICATE_STATE=${CERTIFICATE_STATE:-"From Here"}
CERTIFICATE_CITY=${CERTIFICATE_CITY:-"To Nowhere"}
CERTIFICATE_ORG=${CERTIFICATE_ORG:-"$(hostname --fqdn) Web Server"}
CERTIFICATE_UNIT=${CERTIFICATE_UNIT:-"Centurion Technologies"}
CERTIFICATE_FQDN=${CERTIFICATE_FQDN:-"$(hostname --fqdn)"}
CERTIFICATE_EMAIL=${CERTIFICATE_EMAIL:-"webmaster@${CERTIFICATE_FQDN}"}
