temporary directory

Easy-TLS temporary directory

The temporary directory is used by Easy-TLS server scripts to share TLS-Crypt-V2 key metadata.

• From easytls-cryptv2-verify.sh
  • To easytls-client-connect.sh and easytls-client-disconnect.sh.

Recommended settings are:

• Linux using systemd
  Use /tmp which is protected by systemd:PrivateTmp=true
  Configure: ./easytls config tmp.dir /tmp (This is set by default)
  

• Linux using sysV
  Use /var/easytls (Any subdirectory of /var is suitable)
  Configure: ./easytls config tmp.dir /var/easytls
  This directory must be created by root: sudo mkdir /var/easytls
  

• Windows
  Use C:\Windows\Temp (This is set by default, any directory is suitable)
  

For a busy Server, it may be more suitable to locate the temporary directory on a virtual media.
