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 Grid Community Toolkit program) and grid-ca-sign (from the
18 Globus Simple CA package) to create the credential and then run
19 myproxy-admin-load-credential(8) to load the credential into the
20 MyProxy repository.
21 The command prompts for the common name to be included in the new cer‐
23 tificate (if the -c argument is not specified), the Globus Simple CA
24 key password for signing the certificate, the MyProxy username (if the
25 -l or -d arguments are not specified), and the MyProxy passphrase for
26 the credential. Most of the command-line options for this command are
27 passed directly to the myproxy-admin-load-credential(8) command.
28 The grid-ca-sign program is not provided in the MyProxy distribution.
30 It must be installed separately, from the Globus Simple CA package.
31
33 -h Displays command usage text and exits.
34 -u Displays command usage text and exits.
36 -v Enables verbose debugging output to the terminal.
38 -c cn Specifies the Common Name for the new credential (for example:
40 "Jim Basney").
41 -s dir Specifies the location of the credential storage directory. The
43 directory must be accessible only by the user running the
44 myproxy-server process for security reasons. Default:
45 /var/lib/myproxy or /var/myproxy or $GLOBUS_LOCATION/var/myproxy
46 -l username
48 Specifies the MyProxy account under which the credential should
49 be stored.
50 -t hours
52 Specifies the maximum lifetime of credentials retrieved from the
53 myproxy-server(8) using the stored credential. Default: 12
54 hours
55 -p CA-password
57 Specifies the password for the CA's private key using the format
58 documented in the PASS PHRASE ARGUMENTS section of openssl(1).
59 -n Disables passphrase authentication for the stored credential.
61 If specified, the command will not prompt for a passphrase, the
62 credential will not be encrypted by a passphrase in the reposi‐
63 tory, and the credential will not be retrievable using
64 passphrase authentication with myproxy-logon(1). This option is
65 used for storing renewable credentials and is implied by -R.
66 -d Use the certificate subject (DN) as the username.
68 -a Allow credentials to be retrieved with just pass phrase authen‐
70 tication. By default, only entities with credentials that match
71 the myproxy-server.config(5) default retriever policy may
72 retrieve credentials. This option allows entities without
73 existing credentials to retrieve a credential using pass phrase
74 authentication by including "anonymous" in the set of allowed
75 retrievers. The myproxy-server.config(5) server-wide policy
76 must also allow "anonymous" clients for this option to have an
77 effect.
78 -A Allow credentials to be renewed by any client. Any client with
80 a valid credential with a subject name that matches the stored
81 credential may retrieve a new credential from the MyProxy repos‐
82 itory if this option is given. Since this effectively defeats
83 the purpose of proxy credential lifetimes, it is not recom‐
84 mended. It is included only for sake of completeness.
85 -r name
87 Allow the specified entity to retrieve credentials. See -x and
88 -X options for controlling name matching behavior.
89 -R name
91 Allow the specified entity to renew credentials. See -x and -X
92 options for controlling name matching behavior. This option
93 implies -n since passphrase authentication is not used for cre‐
94 dential renewal.
95 -Z name, --retrievable_by_cert name
97 Allow the specified entity to retrieve credentials without a
98 passphrase. See -x and -X options for controlling name matching
99 behavior. This option implies -n.
100 -x Specifies that names used with following options -r, -R, and -Z
102 will be matched against the full certificate subject distin‐
103 guished name (DN) according to REGULAR EXPRESSIONS in myproxy-
104 server.config(5).
105 -X Specifies that names used with following options -r, -R, and -Z
107 will be matched against the certificate subject common name (CN)
108 according to REGULAR EXPRESSIONS in myproxy-server.config(5).
109 For example, if an argument of -r "Jim Basney" is specified,
110 then the resulting policy will be "*/CN=Jim Basney". This is
111 the default behavior.
112 -k name
114 Specifies the credential name.
115 -K description
117 Specifies credential description.
