TPM Management - tpm_setpresence
tpm_setpresence- change TPM physical presence states or settings
tpm_setpresence reports the status of the TPM's flags regarding physical
presence. This is the default behavior and also accessible via the
--status option. Requesting a report of this status prompts for the
owner password. The --assert option changes the TPM to the physically
present state. The --clear option changes the TPM to the not present
state. The --lock option locks the TPM to the current physical presence
state for the current boot cycle. The --enable-cmd option allows the
TPM to accept local commands to toggle physical presence states. The
--disable-cmd option prevents the TPM from accepting local commands to
toggle physical presence states. The --enable-hw option allows the TPM
to accept hardware signals to toggle physical presence states. The
--disable-hw option prevents the TPM from accepting hardware signals to
toggle physical presence states. The --set-lifetime-lock option locks
the Command and Hardware enablement flags in their current state permenantly.
This option can never be undone. The system will attempt to use the owner
password to display the current states before preceding unless the
--yes option is given to answer yes to all questions. All changes are
made with the TSC_Physical Presence API.
