PKI Server Directory Structure

Overview

This page describes the directory structure of a PKI server instance.

Default Directory Structure

By default PKI server is installed with the following directory structure.

Configuration files are stored under /etc/pki/<instance>:

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

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>

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/[email protected].

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

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

Tomcat Directory Structure

Certain PKI subsystems can be installed with standard Tomcat directory structure. In the future it might be possible to install all subsystems with this directory structure.

All files are stored under /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/[email protected].
