NAME

dacs_sts - Secure Token Service for managed Information Cards

SYNOPSIS

dacs_sts [dacsoptions[1]]

DESCRIPTION

This program is part of the DACS suite.

The dacs_sts web service is the Secure Token Service for DACS's managed Information Cards.

Refer to dacs_managed_infocard(8)[2] for additional information.


Security

Depending on the application, consider adding a custom access control rule for dacs_sts (e.g., to limit access to a particular host or subnet, or even certain identities).

Configuration

The following configuration variables are available:

infocard_sts_password

For managed InfoCards generated with a INFOCARD_STS_AUTH_TYPE[3] of "passwd" and an INFOCARD_STS_PASSWORD_METHOD[4] of "sts", this is the global user password that must be provided. Changing this password affects all managed InfoCard accounts.

OPTIONS

Web Service Arguments

None.

DIAGNOSTICS

The program exits 0 if everything was fine, 1 if an error occurred.

BUGS

Secure token replay detection is not yet implemented.

As this is a relatively new and complicated feature, please test carefully.
