NAME¶

dacs_conf - display DACS configuration directives

SYNOPSIS¶

dacs_conf [ dacsoptions[1]]

DESCRIPTION¶

This program is part of the DACS suite.

The dacs_conf web service processes and displays DACS configuration files (see dacs.conf(5)[2]).

If XML output is selected, a document conforming to dacs_conf_reply.dtd[3] is returned.

Although the order in which clauses appear in configuration files can be important, the order of configuration directives is for the most part not significant. The exception is the EVAL[4] directive. These directives are listed in the order in which they would be evaluated, and their unevaluated values appear in the output.

Note

This program is also available as a DACS utility, dacsconf(1)[5]. Because dacs_admin(8)[6] provides the same functionality and more, dacs_conf may be removed in a future release.

Security

Because the configuration might reveal information that could be taken advantage of by an attacker, only the DACS administrator should be able to run this command. Accordingly, a DACS ACL restricts use of this web service to a DACS administrator.

OPTIONS¶

Web Service Arguments¶

In addition to the standard CGI arguments[7], dacs_conf understands the following CGI arguments:

DIRECTIVE

This optional, repeatable argument is a comma-separated list of directive names or variable references to be displayed. This is similar to the directive-name arguments to dacsconf(1)[5].

An example of a directive name is JURISDICTION_NAME. An example of a variable reference is ${Conf::jurisdiction_name:i}.

VARS

If the value of this optional argument is "yes", the effect on output formatting is the same as when the -vars flag is give to dacsconf(1)[5]. The default value is "no".
