myproxy-admin-adduser - add a user or service credential
myproxy-admin-adduser [ options ]
myproxy-admin-addservice [ options ]
The myproxy-admin-adduser and
myproxy-admin-addservice commands create a new credential for a user
or service and load it into the MyProxy repository. They are perl(1)
scripts that run grid-cert-request (a standard Grid Community Toolkit
program) and grid-ca-sign (from the Globus Simple CA package) to
create the credential and then run myproxy-admin-load-credential(8)
to load the credential into the MyProxy repository.
The command prompts for the common name to be included in the new
certificate (if the -c argument is not specified), the Globus Simple
CA key password for signing the certificate, the MyProxy username (if the
-l or -d arguments are not specified), and the MyProxy
passphrase for the credential. Most of the command-line options for this
command are passed directly to the myproxy-admin-load-credential(8)
command.
The grid-ca-sign program is not provided in the MyProxy
distribution. It must be installed separately, from the Globus Simple CA
package.
- -h
- Displays command usage text and exits.
- -u
- Displays command usage text and exits.
- -v
- Enables verbose debugging output to the terminal.
- -c cn
- Specifies the Common Name for the new credential (for example: "Jim
Basney").
- -s dir
- Specifies the location of the credential storage directory. The directory
must be accessible only by the user running the myproxy-server
process for security reasons. Default: /var/lib/myproxy or /var/myproxy or
$GLOBUS_LOCATION/var/myproxy
- -l username
- Specifies the MyProxy account under which the credential should be
stored.
- -t hours
- Specifies the maximum lifetime of credentials retrieved from the
myproxy-server(8) using the stored credential. Default: 12
hours
- -p
CA-password
- Specifies the password for the CA's private key using the format
documented in the PASS PHRASE ARGUMENTS section of openssl(1).
- -n
- Disables passphrase authentication for the stored credential. If
specified, the command will not prompt for a passphrase, the credential
will not be encrypted by a passphrase in the repository, and the
credential will not be retrievable using passphrase authentication with
myproxy-logon(1). This option is used for storing renewable
credentials and is implied by -R.
- -d
- Use the certificate subject (DN) as the username.
- -a
- Allow credentials to be retrieved with just pass phrase authentication. By
default, only entities with credentials that match the
myproxy-server.config(5) default retriever policy may retrieve
credentials. This option allows entities without existing credentials to
retrieve a credential using pass phrase authentication by including
"anonymous" in the set of allowed retrievers. The
myproxy-server.config(5) server-wide policy must also allow
"anonymous" clients for this option to have an effect.
- -A
- Allow credentials to be renewed by any client. Any client with a valid
credential with a subject name that matches the stored credential may
retrieve a new credential from the MyProxy repository if this option is
given. Since this effectively defeats the purpose of proxy credential
lifetimes, it is not recommended. It is included only for sake of
completeness.
- -r name
- Allow the specified entity to retrieve credentials. See -x and
-X options for controlling name matching behavior.
- -R name
- Allow the specified entity to renew credentials. See -x and
-X options for controlling name matching behavior. This option
implies -n since passphrase authentication is not used for
credential renewal.
- -Z name,
--retrievable_by_cert name
- Allow the specified entity to retrieve credentials without a passphrase.
See -x and -X options for controlling name matching
behavior. This option implies -n.
- -x
- Specifies that names used with following options -r, -R, and
-Z will be matched against the full certificate subject
distinguished name (DN) according to REGULAR EXPRESSIONS in
myproxy-server.config(5).
- -X
- Specifies that names used with following options -r, -R, and
-Z will be matched against the certificate subject common name (CN)
according to REGULAR EXPRESSIONS in
myproxy-server.config(5). For example, if an argument of -r
"Jim Basney" is specified, then the resulting policy will be
"*/CN=Jim Basney". This is the default behavior.
- -k name
- Specifies the credential name.
- -K
description
- Specifies credential description.
