# Attestation

The `vhsm nitride` command is used to interact with the **RA-TLS plugin,** which facilitates workload identity and policy management in secure environments using Remote Attestation and Transport Layer Security (RA-TLS).

This command is accessed through subcommands to manage identities, policies, logs, configuration, and more.

**Usage**

```bash
vhsm nitride <subcommand> [options]
```

The default mount path for the plugin is: `ratls`

#### **Subcommands**

| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `init`        | Set up the plugin by mounting it and configuring default policies.     |
| `identity`    | Create and manage identities that are bound to your policies.          |
| `policy`      | Create and manage access policies for your workloads.                  |
| `totp`        | Manage Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) updates for your workloads. |
| `attestation` | Manage attestation data and workflows for your workloads.              |
| `log`         | View logs related to plugin operations.                                |
| `config`      | Read the plugin’s current configuration settings.                      |
