10 myproxy-admin-addservice [ options ]
12
14 The myproxy-admin-adduser and myproxy-admin-addservice commands create
15 a new credential for a user or service and load it into the MyProxy
16 repository. They are perl(1) scripts that run grid-cert-request (a
17 standard Globus Toolkit program) and grid-ca-sign (from the Globus Sim‐
18 ple CA package) to create the credential and then run myproxy-admin-
19 load-credential(8) to load the credential into the MyProxy repository.
20 The command prompts for the common name to be included in the new cer‐
22 tificate (if the -c argument is not specified), the Globus Simple CA
23 key password for signing the certificate, the MyProxy username (if the
24 -l or -d arguments are not specified), and the MyProxy passphrase for
25 the credential. Most of the command-line options for this command are
26 passed directly to the myproxy-admin-load-credential(8) command.
27 The grid-ca-sign program is not provided in the MyProxy distribution.
29 It must be installed separately, from the Globus Simple CA package.
30
32 -h Displays command usage text and exits.
33 -u Displays command usage text and exits.
35 -v Enables verbose debugging output to the terminal.
37 -c cn Specifies the Common Name for the new credential (for example:
39 "Jim Basney").
40 -s dir Specifies the location of the credential storage directory. The
42 directory must be accessible only by the user running the
43 myproxy-server process for security reasons. Default:
44 /var/myproxy or $GLOBUS_LOCATION/var/myproxy
45 -l username
47 Specifies the MyProxy account under which the credential should
48 be stored.
49 -t hours
51 Specifies the maximum lifetime of credentials retrieved from the
52 myproxy-server(8) using the stored credential. Default: 12
53 hours
54 -p CA-password
56 Specifies the password for the CA's private key using the format
57 documented in the PASS PHRASE ARGUMENTS section of openssl(1).
58 -n Disables passphrase authentication for the stored credential.
60 If specified, the command will not prompt for a passphrase, the
61 credential will not be encrypted by a passphrase in the reposi‐
62 tory, and the credential will not be retrievable using
63 passphrase authentication with myproxy-logon(1). This option is
64 used for storing renewable credentials and is implied by -R.
65 -d Use the certificate subject (DN) as the username.
67 -a Allow credentials to be retrieved with just pass phrase authen‐
69 tication. By default, only entities with credentials that match
70 the myproxy-server.config(5) default retriever policy may
71 retrieve credentials. This option allows entities without
72 existing credentials to retrieve a credential using pass phrase
73 authentication by including "anonymous" in the set of allowed
74 retrievers. The myproxy-server.config(5) server-wide policy
75 must also allow "anonymous" clients for this option to have an
76 effect.
77 -A Allow credentials to be renewed by any client. Any client with
79 a valid credential with a subject name that matches the stored
80 credential may retrieve a new credential from the MyProxy repos‐
81 itory if this option is given. Since this effectively defeats
82 the purpose of proxy credential lifetimes, it is not recom‐
83 mended. It is included only for sake of completeness.
84 -r dn Allow the specified entity to retrieve credentials. By default,
86 the argument will be matched against the common name (CN) of the
87 client (for example: "Jim Basney"). Specify -x before this
88 option to match against the full distinguished name (DN) (for
89 example: "/C=US/O=National Computational Science Alliance/CN=Jim
90 Basney") instead.
91 -R dn Allow the specified entity to renew credentials. By default,
93 the argument will be matched against the common name (CN) of the
94 client (for example: "condorg/modi4.ncsa.uiuc.edu"). Specify -x
95 before this option to match against the full distinguished name
96 (DN) (for example: "/C=US/O=National Computational Science
97 Alliance/CN=condorg/modi4.ncsa.uiuc.edu") instead. This option
98 implies -n since passphrase authentication is not used for cre‐
99 dential renewal.
100 -x Specifies that the DN used by options -r and -R will be matched
102 as a regular expression.
103 -X Specifies that the DN used by options -r and -R will be matched
105 against the Common Name (CN) of the subject.
106 -k name
108 Specifies the credential name.
109 -K description
111 Specifies credential description.
