NAME¶
dacs_vfs - access objects through the DACS virtual filestoreSYNOPSIS¶
dacs_vfs [dacsoptions[1]]
DESCRIPTION¶
This program is part of the DACS suite. The dacs_vfs web service is an interface to the DACS virtual filestore. It provides a way to examine, change, and delete items independently of how and where they are stored. This program is also available as a DACS utility, dacsvfs(1)[2].OPTIONS¶
Web Service Arguments¶
In addition to the standard CGI arguments[3], dacs_vfs requires the following CGI arguments: ITEM_TYPEThis is the DACS item type, as configured in
dacs.conf ( dacs.conf(5)[4]), to which the request is to be applied. As
a special case, if the value of this argument is the word "enabled",
a list of enabled storage methods is displayed.
REQUEST
The value of this argument is the name of an operation
followed by zero or more arguments. The syntax is identical to that of
dacsvfs(1)[2], except that the edit, update, and help operations are
unavailable. For the put operation, the value to store is taken from the
VALUE argument.
VALUE
The object to use for the put and load operations.
FIELD_SEP
The field separator character to use for the load and
dump operations.
EXAMPLES¶
The following examples assume that the web service requests are granted. This request will return the revocation list: Assuming the jurisdiction is configured appropriately, the following request will return the roles associated with DEMO::EXAMPLE:jones: If the jurisdiction is configured with the directives:LOG_FILE "${Conf::DACS_HOME}/logs/dacs_log-" . strftime("%d-%b-%y") VFS "[logfile]dacs-fs:${Conf::DACS_HOME}/logs/dacs_log-" . strftime("%d-%b-%y")
DIAGNOSTICS¶
The program exits 0 if everything was fine, 1 if an error occurred. If an error occurs during processing, this web service will return an HTTP Status of 400, followed by a blank line which is optionally followed by a descriptive error message.BUGS¶
Only the text/plain output format is implemented.SEE ALSO¶
