TPM Management - tpm_setactive

NAME

tpm_setactive − change TPM active states

SYNOPSIS

tpm_setactive [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION

tpm_setactive reports the status of the TPM’s flags regarding the active state of the TPM. This is the default behavior and also accessible via the −−status option. Requesting a report of this status prompts for the owner password. The −−active option changes the TPM to the active state (via the TPM_PhysicalSetDeactivated API). This operation requires evidence of physical presence, is persistent and requires a reboot to take effect. The −−inactive option (via the TPM_PhysicalSetDeactivated API) changes the TPM to the inactive state. This operation requires evidence of physical presence, is persistent and requires a reboot to take effect. An inactive TPM is essentially off but still allows for a tpm_takeownership to occur. The −−temp option causes deactivation (via the TPM_SetTempDeactivated API) to happen immediately but only endure for the current boot cycle. The −−status, −−active, −−inactive, and −−temp options are mutually exclusive and the last one on the command line will be carried out.
