RPKI-CLIENT(8) System Manager's Manual RPKI-CLIENT(8)

rpki-clientRPKI validator to support BGP Origin Validation

rpki-client [-BcjnoRrVv] [-b sourceaddr] [-d cachedir] [-e rsync_prog] [-S skiplist] [-s timeout] [-T table] [-t tal] [outputdir]

rpki-client [-Vv] [-d cachedir] [-j] [-t tal] -f file ...

The rpki-client utility queries the RPKI repository system with a built-in HTTP client and openrsync(1) to fetch all X.509 certificates, manifests, and revocation lists under a given Trust Anchor. rpki-client subsequently validates each Signed Object by constructing and verifying a certification path for the certificate associated with the Object (including checking relevant CRLs). rpki-client produces lists of the (VRPs) and (BRKs) in various formats.

The options are as follows:

Create output in the files bird1v4, bird1v6, and bird (for bird2) in the output directory which is suitable for the BIRD internet routing daemon.
sourceaddr
Tell the HTTP and rsync clients to use sourceaddr as the source address for connections, which is useful on machines with multiple interfaces.
Create output in the file csv in the output directory as comma-separated values of the , the prefix in slash notation, the maximum prefix length, an abbreviation for the Trust Anchor the entry is derived from, and the moment the VRP will expire derived from the chain of X.509 certificates and CRLs in seconds since the Epoch, UTC.
cachedir
The directory where rpki-client will store the cached repository data. Defaults to /var/cache/rpki-client.
rsync_prog
Use rsync_prog instead of openrsync(1) to fetch repositories. It must accept the -rt and --address flags and connect with rsync-protocol locations.
file ...
Decode the or validate the Signed Object in file against the RPKI cache stored in cachedir and print human-readable information about the object. If file is an rsync:// URI, the corresponding file from the cache will be used. This option implies -n, and can be combined with -j to emit a stream of .
Create output in the file json in the output directory as JSON object. See -c for a description of the fields.
Offline mode. Validate the contents of cachedir and write to outputdir without synchronizing via RRDP or RSYNC.
Create output in the file openbgpd in the output directory as bgpd(8) compatible input. If the -B, -c, and -j options are not specified this is the default.
Synchronize via RSYNC only.
Synchronize via RRDP. If RRDP fails, RSYNC will be used. This is the default. Mutually exclusive with -n.
skiplist
Do not connect to hosts listed in the skiplist file. Entries in the skiplist are newline separated (FQDNs). A ‘#’ indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted. The skip filter is enforced during processing of the (SIA) extension in CA certificates, thus applies to both RSYNC and RRDP connections. By default load entries from /etc/rpki/skiplist.
timeout
Terminate after timeout seconds of runtime, because normal practice will restart from cron(8). Disable by specifying 0. Defaults to 1 hour. Individual RSYNC/RRDP repositories are timed out after one fourth of timeout. All network synchronisation tasks are aborted after seven eights of timeout.
table
For BIRD output generated with the -B option use table as roa table name instead of the default 'ROAS'.
tal
Specify a Trust Anchor Location (TAL) file to be used. This option can be used multiple times to load multiple TALs. By default rpki-client will load all TAL files in /etc/rpki.
Show the version and exit.
Increase verbosity. Specify once for synchronisation status, twice to print the name of each file as it's processed. If -f is given, specify once to print more information about the encapsulated X.509 certificate, twice to print the certificate in PEM format.
outputdir
The directory where rpki-client will write the output files. Defaults to /var/db/rpki-client/.

By default rpki-client produces a list of unique roa-set statements in -o (OpenBGPD compatible) output.

rpki-client should be run hourly by cron(8): use crontab(1) to uncomment the entry in root's crontab.

rpki-client utilizes the following environment variables:

URL of HTTP proxy to use.

/etc/rpki/*.tal
default TAL files used unless -t tal is specified.
/etc/rpki/skiplist
default skiplist file, unless -S skiplist is specified.
/var/cache/rpki-client
cached repository data.
/var/db/rpki-client/openbgpd
default roa-set output file.

The rpki-client utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

openrsync(1), bgpd.conf(5)
