Name
myproxy-admin-adduser — Add a new user credential
Synopsis
myproxy-admin-adduser
Tool description
The myproxy-admin-adduser command creates a new credential for a user and loads it into the MyProxy repository. It is a perl script that runs grid-cert-request (a standard Globus Toolkit program) and grid-ca-sign (from the Globus Simple CA package) to create the credential and then runs myproxy-admin-load-credential to load the credential into the MyProxy repository. The command prompts for the common name to be included in the new certificate (if the -c argument is not specified), the Globus Simple CA key password for signing the certificate, the MyProxy username (if the -l or -d arguments are not specified), and the MyProxy passphrase for the credential. Most of the command-line options for this command are passed directly to the myproxy-admin-load-credential command. The Globus Simple CA must be configured before using this command.
Command options
Table 11. myproxy-admin-adduser options
| -h | Displays command usage text and exits. |
| -u | Displays command usage text and exits. |
| -c cn | Specifies the Common Name for the new credential (for example: "Jim Basney"). |
| -s dir | Specifies the location of the credential storage directory. The directory must be accessible only by the user running the myproxy-server process for security reasons. Default: /var/myproxy or $GLOBUS_LOCATION/var/myproxy. |
| -l username | Specifies the MyProxy account under which the credential should be stored. |
| -t hours | Specifies the maximum lifetime of credentials retrieved from the myproxy-server using the stored credential. Default: 12 hours. |
| -n | Disables passphrase authentication for the stored credential. If specified, the command will not prompt for a passphrase, the credential will not be encrypted by a passphrase in the repository, and the credential will not be retrievable using passphrase authentication with myproxy-logon. This option is used for storing renewable credentials and is implied by -R. |
| -d | Use the certificate subject (DN) as the username. |
| -a | Allow credentials to be retrieved with just pass phrase authentication. by default, only entities with credentials that match the myproxy-server.config default retriever policy may retrieve credentials. This option allows entities without existing credentials to retrieve a credential using pass phrase authentication by including "anonymous" in the set of allowed retrievers. The myproxy-server.config server-wide policy must also allow "anonymous" clients for this option to have an effect. |
| -A | Allow credentials to be renewed by any client. Any client with a valid credential with a subject name that matches the stored credential may retrieve a new credential from the MyProxy repository if this option is given. Since this effectively defeats the purpose of proxy credential lifetimes, it is not recommended. It is included only for sake of completeness. |
| -r dn | Allow the specified entity to retrieve credentials. By default, the argument will be matched against the common name (CN) of the client (for example: "Jim Basney"). Specify -x before this option to match against the full distinguished name (DN) (for example: "/C=US/O=National Computational Science Alliance/CN=Jim Basney") instead. |
| -R dn | Allow the specified entity to renew credentials. By default, the argument will be matched against the common name (CN) of the client (for example: "condorg/modi4.ncsa.uiuc.edu"). Specify -x before this option to match against the full distinguished name (DN) (for example: "/C=US/O=National Computational Science Alliance/CN=condorg/modi4.ncsa.uiuc.edu") instead. This option implies -n since passphrase authentication is not used for credential renewal. |
| -x | Specifies that the DN used by options -r and -R will be matched as a regular expression. |
| -X | Specifies that the DN used by options -r and -R will be matched against the Common Name (CN) of the subject. |
| -k name | Specifies the credential name. |
| -K description | Specifies credential description. |
