 +====== Configuration files ======
  
 +On a complete Muster installation,​ there’re several configuration files that may be manually edited by users or configured automatically by Muster.
 +
 +The following list shows which files are installed by each module and their purpose:
 +  * **dispatcher.conf**:​ This file holds the behaviours of the dispatcher service.
 +  * **rc.conf**:​ This file holds the behaviours of the renderclient service.
 +  * **cert.pem** and **key.pem**:​ Those files hold the certificate used for any HTTPS connection through the Muster integrated web server.
 +
 +You can regenerate certificates on your own or use certificates generated from an authority. We suggest to check the openssl documentation to learn more about self-signed and requests of certificates.
 +
 +Configuration files hold keys and values after a section declaration surrounded by [] brackets like:
 +
 +<​code>​
 +[General]
 +Mykey = myvalue
 +</​code>​
 +
 +An explanation of each configuration file and its structure follows.

 +===== rc.conf =====
 +
 +In addition to the rc.conf common keys, the file also contains keys and values specific to each template configurable field. The section name is equal to the template unique ID (i.e. [1] for template ID 1), while the key depends on the name of the configurable field.
 + 
 +Example:
 +
 +<​code>​
 +[1]
 +MYKEY = MYVALUE
 +</​code>​
 +
 +This sets the value MYKEY of template ID 1 to MYVALUE
