+.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B ssl_crtd
+is an installed binary.
+.PP
+Because the generation and signing of SSL certificates takes time
+Squid must use external process to handle the work.
+.
+This process generates new SSL certificates and uses a disk cache of certificatess
+to improve response times on repeated requests.
+Communication occurs via TCP sockets bound to the loopback interface.
+.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.if !'po4a'hide' .TP 12
+.if !'po4a'hide' .B \-b fs_block_size
+File system block size in bytes. Needed for processing natural size of certificate on disk.
+Default value is 2048 bytes.
+.
+.if !'po4a'hide' .TP
+.if !'po4a'hide' .B \-c
+Initialize the SSL storage database and exit.
+Requires the
+.B -s
+option to determine the storage location being created.
+.
+.if !'po4a'hide' .TP
+.if !'po4a'hide' .B \-d
+Write debug info to stderr.
+.
+.if !'po4a'hide' .TP
+.if !'po4a'hide' .B \-g
+Display the current serial number using stderr and exit.
+Requires
+.B \-s
+option to determine which storage directory the serial is located in.
+.
+.if !'po4a'hide' .TP
+.if !'po4a'hide' .B \-h
+Display the binary help and command line syntax info using stderr.
+.
+.if !'po4a'hide' .TP
+.if !'po4a'hide' .B \-s directory
+Directory path of disk storage for new SSL certificates.
+.
+.if !'po4a'hide' .TP
+.if !'po4a'hide' .B \-M size
+Maximum size of SSL certificate disk storage.
+.
+.if !'po4a'hide' .TP
+.if !'po4a'hide' .B \-n serial number
+HEX
+.B "serial number "
+to use when initializing an SSL storage database.
+The default value of serial number is the number of seconds since Epoch minus 1200000000.
+.
+.if !'po4a'hide' .TP
+.if !'po4a'hide' .B \-v
+Display the binary version details using stderr.
+.
+.SH KNOWN ISSUES
+.PP
+The version 1.0 of this helper will not add chained intermediate CA certificates.
+The client must have a full chain of trust from the root CA all the way
+down to the end certificate generated by this program.
+.
+Signing with an intermediate CA needs to install both the
+root and the intermediate public CA on the clients.
+.
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+.PP
+Before this helper can be used the storage area for new certificates must be initialized manually.
+This is done from the command line using the
+.B \-c
+parameters.
+.
+.PP
+For example:
+.if !'po4a'hide' .RS
+.if !'po4a'hide' .B ssl_crtd -c -s /var/lib/ssl_db
+.if !'po4a'hide' .RE
+.
+.PP
+For simple configuration the helper defaults can be used.
+Only HTTP listening port options are required to enable generation and set the signign CA certificate.
+For Example:
+.if !'po4a'hide' .RS
+.if !'po4a'hide' .B http_port 3128 ssl-bump generate-host-certificates=on dynamic_cert_mem_cache_size=4MB cert=/usr/local/squid/ssl_cert/www.sample.com.pem
+.if !'po4a'hide' .RE
+.
+.PP
+For more customized configuration the helper certificate storage directory location and size can be altered with the
+.B sslcrtd_program
+configuration directive.
+For example:
+.if !'po4a'hide' .RS
+.if !'po4a'hide' .B sslcrtd_program /usr/local/squid/libexec/ssl_crtd -s /usr/local/squid/var/lib/ssl_db -M 4MB
+.if !'po4a'hide' .
