NAME¶
ionsecadmin - ION security policy administration interface
SYNOPSIS¶
ionsecadmin [
commands_filename ]
DESCRIPTION¶
ionsecadmin configures and manages the ION security policy database on
the local computer.
It configures and manages the ION security policy database on the local computer
in response to ION configuration commands found in
commands_filename,
if provided; if not,
ionsecadmin prints a simple prompt (:) so that the
user may type commands directly into standard input.
The format of commands for
commands_filename can be queried from
ionsecadmin by entering the command 'h' or '?' at the prompt. The
commands are documented in
ionsecrc(5).
EXIT STATUS¶
- "0"
- Successful completion of ION security policy administration.
EXAMPLES¶
- ionsecadmin
- Enter interactive ION security policy administration command entry
mode.
- ionsecadmin host1.ionsecrc
- Execute all configuration commands in host1.ionsecrc, then
terminate immediately.
FILES¶
Status and diagnostic messages from
ionsecadmin and from other software
that utilizes the ION node are nominally written to a log file in the current
working directory within which
ionsecadmin was run. The log file is
typically named
ion.log.
See also
ionsecrc(5).
ENVIRONMENT¶
No environment variables apply.
DIAGNOSTICS¶
Note: all ION administration utilities expect source file input to be
lines of ASCII text that are NL-delimited. If you edit the ionrc file on a
Windows machine, be sure to
use dos2unix to convert it to Unix text
format before presenting it to
ionsecadmin. Otherwise
ionsecadmin will detect syntax errors and will not function
satisfactorily.
The following diagnostics may be issued to the log file:
- Can't open command file...
- The commands_filename specified in the command line doesn't
exist.
Various errors that don't cause
ionsecadmin to fail but are noted in the
log file may be caused by improperly formatted commands given at the prompt or
in the
commands_filename. Please see
ionsecrc(5) for details.
