SYNOPSIS

otpme-host command [options] [host]

DESCRIPTION

otpme-host manages host objects in the OTPme system. Hosts are client machines (e.g. notebooks, workstations) that are joined to the OTPme realm and on which users log in. Hosts have certificates, can be configured with tokens, roles, dynamic groups, and sync settings.
