NAME

6       "razor-admin" - Razor Registering Agent
7

SYNOPSIS

9           razor-admin [options]  [ -register | -create | -discover ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       "razor-admin" is the Razor Agent that performs administrative
13       functions, most notably registering (-register)
14

USAGE

16       "razor-admin" must have one of the following arguments:
17
18       "-register"
19           Registers a new identity, used for authenticating with Razor
20           Nomination Servers.  Identities are a user + password pair stored
21           in "<razorhome>/identity-<user>".  The first time "razor-admin
22           -register" exits successfully, a symlink "identity" is created to
23           point to the active "identity-<user>" file. After that, new
24           identities can be created, but in order to use them the symlink
25           "identity" must be changed to point to them. In general, it should
26           be called once from the command line. Exits 0 for success, exits 1
27           on failure with a human-readable output message.
28
29           Both razor-report(1) and razor-revoke(1) require user
30           authentication to work, razor-check(1) does not. This allows the
31           Razor Nomination Server to keep track of how many messages a user
32           reports and revokes. The more messages a user correctly reports
33           and/or correctly revokes, the more trust the user earns. Likewise,
34           when messages are incorrectly reported or revoked, the trust goes
35           down for that user. Highly trusted users will have the most affect
36           on the Razor database.
37
38       "-discover"
39           Force discovery.  This will create "server.*.lst" files in
40           <razorhome>.
41
42       "-create"
43           Explicitly creates "razor-agent.conf" file in <razorhome>, as well
44           as <razorhome> if it does not exist.  Normally loads
45           "/etc/razor/razor-agent.conf" if it exists, using defaults for
46           anything not found.  Does not attempt to register with server, but
47           will do discovery, see "-discover".
48

OPTIONS

50       "razor-admin" takes following optional arguments:
51
52       "-h"
53           Print a usage message and exit.
54
55       "-v"
56           Print the version number and exit.
57
58       "-d | --verbose"
59           Print debugging information.
60
61       "-debuglevel=n | -dl=n"
62           Set debug level to 'n'.  Default is 3 without "-d" option, 9 with.
63
64       "-s"
65           Simulate a check. Do everything except talk to the server.
66
67       "-conf=filename"
68           Specifies an alternate configuration file.  If not specified, it is
69           computed, see razor-agents(1) manpage for details.  See
70           razor-agent.conf(5) manpage for various configuration options.  The
71           default is "<razorhome>/razor-agent.conf".
72
73       "-home=directory"
74           Specify razorhome directory.  This is where the configuration file,
75           logfiles, identities, and server files live.  If not specified, it
76           is computed, see razor-agents(1) manpage for details.
77
78       "-logfile=file"
79           Specify file to log to instead of what is in the configuration
80           file.  The default is "<razorhome>/razor-agent.log".
81
82       "-ident=filename"
83           Specify an identify file to use for storing a newly registered
84           identity.  If not specified, "<razorhome>/identity-<user>" is used.
85
86       "-rs=razor.server.com"
87           Use this Razor Nomination Server instead of reading
88           "servers.nomination.lst".
89
90       "-user=user@domain.com"
91           Request to be known as this username. Must be less than 64 chars
92           and may contain A-Z, a-z, 0-9, as well printable chars [ex: - _ @ .
93           + / ]. If not specified, a username will be assigned. Razor users
94           are encouraged to use their email addresses as their username.
95
96       "-pass=password"
97           Request this password.  Valid chars are the same as for -user.  If
98           not specified, it will be assigned.
99
100       "-l"
101           The identity created during this "razor-admin" becomes the default.
102           Normally, the first identity file created by "razor-admin" is the
103           default one used.
104

EXAMPLES

106       razor-admin -d -create
107           With no global razorhome defined (default) in
108           /etc/razor/razor-agents.conf, creates .razor directory in user's
109           home directory.
110
111           With global razorhome defined in /etc/razor/razor-agents.conf, will
112           try to use that one, will fail if it does not have correct
113           permissions.
114
115       razor-admin -register
116           Registers a new identity, storing it in <lt>razorhome<gt>.  User
117           and pass will be server generated.  An identity is required for
118           razor-report(1) and razor-revoke(1).
119
120       razor-admin -register -user me@a.com
121           Attempts to register a new identity using the user name
122           'me\@a.com'.  Will fail if user is already taken.
123
124       razor-admin -d -create -home=/home/me/.razor
125           Creates .razor directory in user's home directory, which will then
126           be the default home unless specified from cmd-line.  Sends
127           debugging information to stdout, and does not talk to any Razor
128           Servers.
129
130       razor-admin -d -create -home=/etc/razor
131           Creates global razorhome, /etc/razor.  This is the magic directory
132           that will be consulted if no razorhome is specified on the cmd-line
133           or found in user's home directory.
