AusweisApp2 - Official authentication app for German ID cards and residence permits

AusweisApp2 [-h|--help]
AusweisApp2 [--help-all]
AusweisApp2 [-v|--version]
AusweisApp2 [--show]
AusweisApp2 [--keep] [--no-logfile] [--no-loghandler] [--show] [--no-proxy] [--ui { Qml|WebSocket }] [--port PORT]

AusweisApp2 allows you to authenticate yourself against websites via your German ID card and residence permits.

You will need:
* an ID card that is enabled for online identification
* A compatible NFC device (most NFC readers should work, NFC-enabled phones can * also be used)
* AusweisApp2
* A browser
* 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.

-h, --help
Displays a short help message.

--help-all
Displays help including Qt specific options.

-v, --version
Displays version information.

--keep

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.

--no-logfile
Suppress writing a log file to ${TMP}/AusweisApp2.*.log. Logs will still be written to STDOUT.

--no-loghandler
Disable default log handler. This disables logging to STDOUT.

--show
Show window on startup.

--no-proxy
Disable system proxy.

--ui { Qml|WebSocket }
Use given UI plugin. "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. Default is "Qml,Websocket". This option allows multiple values.

--port PORT
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.

AusweisApp2 will return 0 when sucessfully terminated.

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.

~/.config/AusweisApp2_CE/AusweisApp2.conf File path where the user config is saved.

Currently there is no way to terminate the program on gnome as the TrayIcon is mandatory.
