+NAME
+       tlsmgr - Postfix TLS session cache and PRNG manager
+
+SYNOPSIS
+       tlsmgr [generic Postfix daemon options]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+       The  tlsmgr(8)  manages  the Postfix TLS session caches.  It stores and
+       retrieves cache entries on request by smtpd(8) and  smtp(8)  processes,
+       and periodically removes entries that have expired.
+
+       The  tlsmgr(8)  also  manages the PRNG (pseudo random number generator)
+       pool. It answers queries by the smtpd(8) and smtp(8) processes to  seed
+       their internal PRNG pools.
+
+       The  tlsmgr(8)'s  PRNG pool is initially seeded from an external source
+       (EGD, /dev/urandom, or regular file).  It is  updated  at  configurable
+       pseudo-random  intervals  with  data  from  the  external source. It is
+       updated periodically with data from TLS session cache entries and  with
+       the time of day, and is updated with the time of day whenever a process
+       requests tlsmgr(8) service.
+
+       The tlsmgr(8) saves the PRNG state to an exchange file periodically and
+       when  the process terminates, and reads the exchange file when initial-
+       izing its PRNG.
+
+SECURITY
+       The tlsmgr(8) is not security-sensitive. The code  that  maintains  the
+       external  and  internal  PRNG  pools  does not "trust" the data that it
+       manipulates, and the code that maintains the TLS session cache does not
+       touch the contents of the cached entries, except for seeding its inter-
+       nal PRNG pool.
+
+       The tlsmgr(8) can be run chrooted  and  with  reduced  privileges.   At
+       process  startup  it  connects to the entropy source and exchange file,
+       and creates or truncates the optional TLS session cache files.
+
+       With Postfix version 2.5 and later, the tlsmgr(8) no longer  uses  root
+       privileges  when  opening cache files. These files should now be stored
+       under the Postfix-owned data_directory.  As a migration aid, an attempt
+       to open a cache file under a non-Postfix directory is redirected to the
+       Postfix-owned data_directory, and a warning is logged.
+
+DIAGNOSTICS
+       Problems and transactions are logged to syslogd(8) or postlogd(8).
+
+BUGS
+       There is no automatic means to limit the number of entries in  the  TLS
+       session caches and/or the size of the TLS cache files.
+
+CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
+       Changes  to  main.cf are not picked up automatically, because tlsmgr(8)
+       is a persistent processes.  Use the command "postfix  reload"  after  a
+       configuration change.
+
+       The  text  below provides only a parameter summary. See postconf(5) for
+       more details including examples.
