Overview

PKI server supports the following directory structures:

  • pki-tomcatd: This directory structure is used to run PKI server on Fedora which follows the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.

  • tomcat: This directory structure is used to run PKI server in generic Tomcat environment. The support for this directory structure is still under development.

If not specified, PKI server will use pki-tomcatd by default.

pki-tomcatd Directory Structure

With pki-tomcatd directory structure, the files are stored in multiple directories.

The configuration files are stored under /etc/pki/<instance>:

+ /etc/pki/<instance>
  + alias
  + Catalina
    + localhost
  + <subsystem>

The server files are stored under /var/lib/pki/<instance>:

+ /var/lib/pki/<instance>
  + alias -> /etc/pki/<instance>/alias
  + bin -> /usr/share/tomcat/bin
  + common
    + lib -> /usr/share/pki/server/common/lib
  + conf -> /etc/pki/<instance>
  + lib -> /usr/share/pki/server/lib
  + logs -> /var/log/pki/<instance>
  + temp
  + webapps
  + work
  + <subsystem>

The log files are stored under /var/lib/pki/<instance>:

+ /var/log/pki/<instance>
  + backup
    + <version>
      + <index>
        + oldfiles
        + newfiles
  + pki
  + <subsystem>
    + archive
    + signedAudit

The systemd unit file is stored at /etc/systemd/system/pki-tomcatd.target.wants/pki-tomcatd@<instance>.service which is a link to /usr/lib/systemd/system/pki-tomcatd@.service.

The registry files are stored under /etc/sysconfig/pki/tomcat/<instance>:

+ /etc/sysconfig/pki/tomcat/<instance>
  + <subsystem>

tomcat Directory Structure

With tomcat directory structure, all files are stored under a single directory (e.g. /var/lib/tomcats/<instance>):

+ /var/lib/tomcats/<instance>
  + bin
  + common
    + lib
  + conf
    + <subsystem>
  + lib
  + logs
    + pki
    + <subsystem>
      + archive
      + signedAudit
  + temp
  + webapps
  + work

The systemd unit file is stored at /usr/lib/systemd/system/tomcat@.service.
