=Section 1 - Sigul BridgeSetup=
What the bridge does: The bridge acts as the central gateway for sigul. The bridge is the only component which speaks to the server, if you are issuing any server bound commands from the client, your actually sending them to the bridge which in turn fires them off to the server, recieves the reply, and sends that back to the client. The bridge also functions as the gateway for Koji, when signing packages from a koji instance, the bridge speaks to the kojihub with authentication by way of a Proxy user, such as Kojiweb. We will be getting into the koji side of things a bit more later in this doc.
=Section 2 - Sigul ServerSetup=
=Section 3 - Sigul ClientSetup=
What the client does: The client is simply that, a client, it has certs necessary for it to be authenticated with the sigul bridge to issue commands as the sigul admin, to the server. All client commands are sent to bridge which in turn talks to either koji or the server depending on what the clients request is.
=Section 3 - Sigul with kojiSetup=
How it works with koji: Sigul can be used with koji to sign multiple packages in a koji instance. Provided you have your client user already configured with Koji, it's a simple matter of configuring the proxy user on sigul_bridge. When a client issues a sign command for a koji instance, the bridge is what actually queries koji on behalf of the client user, and grabs the rpm's to be signed from sigul by way of the kojiweb user. The only thing you must ensure is that your koji client user as admin privileges on the koji server, and the bridge takes care if the rest.
