NAME¶
gfkey - management of Gfarm session keys
SYNOPSIS¶
gfkey [
options ]
DESCRIPTION¶
gfkey manages the session key file,
$HOME/.gfarm_shared_key, that
is used for user authentication by a shared secret key in a trusted
environment when connecting to gfsd and/or gfmd.
When the home directory is shared among filesystem nodes, it is not necessary to
use this command. If not, it is necessary to distribute a session key created
with the -c or -f option to every filesystem node, in advance.
OPTIONS¶
- -c
- Creates a new session key when there is no valid session
key. If a valid session key already exists, no operation is
performed.
- -f
- Forces the creation of a new session key, even if a valid
session key already exists.
- -p period
- Specifies the term of validity in seconds. This option has
to be used with the -c or -f option.
- -l
- Displays the current key.
- -e
- Displays the expiration date of the current key.
- -L message-priority-level
- Specifies a level of the log priority. The log messages
that have higher or the same priority than the specified priority are
displayed to the standard error. The default priority is info. Refer to
the log_level directive described in the manual page of gfarm2.conf(5) for
the priority level which can be specified by this option.
