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

NAME

grid-mapfile-delete-entry - Remove entries from a gridmap file

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

The grid-mapfile-delete-entry program deletes mappings from a gridmap file. If both the -dn and -ln> options are specified, grid-mapfile-delete-entry removes entries which meet both criteria (remove entries mapping DISTINGUISHED-NAME to LOCAL-NAME for each LOCAL-NAME specified). If only -dn or -ln is specified all entries for that DISTINGUISHED-NAME or LOCAL-NAME are removed.
By default, grid-mapfile-delete-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.
Prior to modifying a gridmap file, grid-mapfile-delete-entry saves its current contents to a file with the string .old appended to the original file name.
The full set of command-line options to grid-mapfile-delete-entry are:
-help, -usage
Display the command-line options to grid-mapfile-delete-entry.
-version, -versions
Display the version number of the grid-mapfile-delete-entry command. The second form includes more details.
-dn DISTINGUISHED-NAME
The X.509 distinguished name to remove from the gridmap file. If the -ln option is not specified, remove all entries for this name; otherwise, remove entries that match both this name and the local name. The name should be in OpenSSL´s oneline format.
-ln LOCAL-NAME...
The POSIX user name to remove from the gridmap file. Include multiple LOCAL-NAME strings after the -ln command-line option to remove multiple names from the gridmap. If the -dn option is not specifeid, remove all entries for these names; otherwise, remove entries that match the DISTINGUISHED-NAME and any of the LOCAL-NAME values.
-d, -dryrun
Display diagnostics about what would be removed from 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.
