GRID-MAPFILE-ADD-(8) Globus Commands GRID-MAPFILE-ADD-(8)

NAME

grid-mapfile-add-entry - Add an entry to a gridmap file

SYNOPSIS

grid-mapfile-add-entry [-help] [-usage] [-version] [-versions]
grid-mapfile-add-entry {-dn DISTINGUISHED-NAME} {-ln  LOCAL-NAME...}
 
[[-d] | [-dryrun]]
 
[[-mapfile  MAPFILE] | [-f MAPFILE]]

DESCRIPTION

The grid-mapfile-add-entry program adds a new mapping from an X.509 distinguished name to a local POSIX user name to a gridmap file. Gridmap files are used as a simple authorization method for services such as GRAM5 or GridFTP.
The grid-mapfile-add-entry program verifies that the LOCAL-NAME is a valid user name on the system on which it was run, and that the mapping between DISTINGUISHED-NAME and LOCAL-NAME does not already exist in the gridmap file.
By default, grid-mapfile-add-entry will modify the gridmap file named by the GRIDMAP environment variable if present, or the file /etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile if not. This can be changed by the use of the -mapfile or -f command-line options.
If the gridmap file does not exist, grid-mapfile-add-entry will create it. If it already exists, grid-mapfile-add-entry will save the current contents of the file to a new file with the string .old appended to the file name.
The full set of command-line options to grid-mapfile-add-entry are:
-help, -usage
Display the command-line options to grid-mapfile-add-entry.
-version, -versions
Display the version number of the grid-mapfile-add-entry command. The second form includes more details.
-dn DISTINGUISHED-NAME
The X.509 distinguished name to add a mapping for. The name should be in OpenSSL´s oneline format.
-ln LOCAL-NAME...
The POSIX user name to map the distinguished name to. This name must be a valid username. Add multiple LOCAL-NAME strings after the -ln command-line option. If any of the local names are invalid, no changes will be made to the gridmap file. Note that if multiple occurances of the -ln command-line option are present, only the the last one will be added.
-d, -dryrun
Verify local names and display diagnostics about what would be added to the gridmap file, but don´t actually modify the file.
-mapfile MAPFILE, -f MAPFILE
Modify the gridmap file named by MAPFILE instead of the default.

EXAMPLES

Add a mapping between the current user´s certificate to the current user id to a gridmap file in $HOME/.gridmap: 
%  grid-mapfile-add-entry -f $HOME/.gridmap -dn "`grid-cert-info -subject`" -ln "`id -un`"
Modifying /home/juser/.gridmap ...
/home/juser/.gridmap does not exist... Attempting to create /home/juser/.gridmap
New entry:
"/DC=org/DC=example/DC=grid/CN=Joe User" juser
(1) entry added
Add a mapping between the a distinguished name and multiple local names: 
%  grid-mapfile-add-entry -dn "/DC=org/DC=example/DC=grid/CN=Joe User" juser" local1 local2
Modifying /home/juser/.gridmap ...
/home/juser/.gridmap does not exist... Attempting to create /home/juser/.gridmap
New entry:
"/DC=org/DC=example/DC=grid/CN=Joe User" local1,local2
(1) entry added
