.SH DESCRIPTION
AusweisApp2 allows you to authenticate yourself against websites via your German
ID card and residence permits.
You will need:
.br
* an ID card that is enabled for online identification
.br
* A compatible NFC device (most NFC readers should work, NFC-enabled phones can
* also be used)
.br
* AusweisApp2
.br
* A browser
.br
* A website that supports authentication via German ID card
When you visit such a website, AusweisApp2 will be triggered and will ask you if
you want to authenticate against the website.
This program will provide a local webserver for your browser to interface against.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B -h, --help
Displays a short help message.
.TP
.B --help-all
Displays help including Qt specific options.
.TP
.B -v, --version
Displays version information.
.TP
.B --keep
.br
By default, AusweisApp2 writes a log to a file matching
${TMP}/AusweisApp2.*.log. When the program terminates, it will be deleted. This
setting prevents deletion.
.TP
.B --no-logfile
Suppress writing a log file to ${TMP}/AusweisApp2.*.log. Logs will still be
written to STDOUT.
.TP
.B --no-loghandler
Disable default log handler. This disables logging to STDOUT.
.TP
.B --show
Show window on startup.
.TP
.B --no-proxy
Disable system proxy.
.TP
.B --ui { qml|webservice|websocket }
This option allows multiple values.
- "qml" will start the program with a visible UI.
- "websocket" will let it start in the background as an SDK. This is only useful when integrating
AusweisApp2 into other programs.
- "webservice" starts listening on given port/address.
Default is "qml,webservice,websocket".
.TP
.B --port \fI\,PORT\/\fR
Change the listening port for the WebSocket. Default is 24727. Selecting "0" is
a special case. AusweisApp2 will then select a random port and write the port
number to a file in ${TMP}/AusweisApp2.<PID>.port.
.TP
.B --address \fI\,ADDRESS\/\fR
Use given addresses for interface binding. Normally AusweisApp2 is bound to
localhost only as it is a security requirement. Useful for testing only.
This option allows multiple values.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
AusweisApp2 will return 0 when successfully terminated.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.TP
.B QT_QPA_PLATFORM={ wayland|X11 }
You may force the session type to wayland or X11. This is only needed for
debugging purposes. XDG_SESSION_TYPE will be ignored on gnome.
.SH FILES
\fI~/.config/AusweisApp2_CE/AusweisApp2.conf\fR
File path where the user config is saved.
.SH CAVEATS
Currently there is no way to terminate the program on gnome as the TrayIcon
is mandatory.
