14.72.1. Name#
taler-merchant-httpd - Run Taler merchant backend (with RESTful API)
14.72.2. Synopsis#
taler-merchant-httpd [-a**_|_–auth**] [-C | –connection-close] [-c FILENAME | –config=FILENAME] [-h | –help] [-L LOGLEVEL | –loglevel=LOGLEVEL] [-l FILENAME | –logfile=FILENAME] [-T USEC | –timetravelUSEC] [-v | –version]
14.72.3. Description#
taler-merchant-httpd is a command-line tool to run the Taler merchant (HTTP backend). The required configuration and database must exist before running this command.
14.72.4. Options#
- -a TOKEN | –auth=TOKEN
Use TOKEN for initial access control to the merchant backend. TOKEN must start with the “secret-token:” prefix, as per RFC 8959. The value given in TOKEN must appear in backoffice requests to the default instance of the merchant, i.e. “Authorization: Bearer TOKEN” to obtain access to the merchant backend. Note that setting a passphrase for the default instance by any means will block future access via TOKEN. This is basically a way to reset the passphrase protecting access. TOKEN should be a “pchar” as per RFC 8959, but this is NOT checked. Note that TOKEN will only grant access to the ‘default’ instance, not other instances. Instead of using the command-line, which exposes TOKEN to users on the system, you may want to consider setting the TALER_MERCHANT_TOKEN environment variable instead.
- -C | –connection-close
Force each HTTP connection to be closed after each request (useful in combination with -f to avoid having to wait for nc to time out).
- -c FILENAME | –config=FILENAME
Use the configuration and other resources for the merchant to operate from FILENAME.
- -h | –help
Print short help on options.
- -L LOGLEVEL | –loglevel=LOGLEVEL
Specifies the log level to use. Accepted values are:
DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR.- -l FILENAME | –logfile=FILENAME
Send logging output to FILENAME.
- -T USEC | –timetravel=USEC
Modify the system time by USEC microseconds. USEC may be prefixed with
+or-(e.g.-T +300). This option is intended for debugging/testing only.- -v | –version
Print version information.
14.72.5. Signals#
- SIGTERM
Sending a SIGTERM to the process will cause it to shutdown cleanly.
14.72.6. Environment Variables#
- TALER_MERCHANT_TOKEN
Like the “-a” option, resets the access token for the default instance to the given value.
