Managing the Azure Iot Identity Service

The aziotctl CLI tool is used to manage and interact with the services.

See aziotctl --help for the full help. A few notable commands are listed below.

Note that most aziotctl commands need to be run as root.

Applying changes in the super-config to the services

sudo aziotctl config apply

By default, this command expects the super-config to be at /etc/aziot/config.toml. To use a different path, specify the -c / --config parameter.

Stop all services

sudo aziotctl system stop

Restart all services

sudo aziotctl system restart

Note: Since the services use systemd socket activation, this command starts all the socket units but does not start any service except the Identity Service (aziot-identityd.service). The other services (aziot-keyd.service, aziot-certd.service, etc) will automatically start if they need to.
