</PRE>
|

|
|
<P>This command does not use the syntax conventions of the AFS command
|
||
|
|
suites. Provide the command name and all option names in full.
|
||
|
|
<P><STRONG>Description</STRONG>
|
||
|
|
<P>The <B>kaserver</B> command initializes the Authentication Server,
|
||
|
|
which runs on every database server machine. In the conventional
|
||
|
|
configuration, its binary file is located in the <B>/usr/afs/bin</B>
|
||
|
|
directory on a file server machine.
|
||
|
|
<P>The <B>kaserver</B> command is not normally issued at the command shell
|
||
|
|
prompt but rather placed into a file server machine's
|
||
|
|
<B>/usr/afs/local/BosConfig</B> file with the <B>bos create</B>
|
||
|
|
command. If it is ever issued at the command shell prompt, the issuer
|
||
|
|
must be logged onto a database server machine as the local superuser
|
||
|
|
<B>root</B>.
|
||
|
|
<P>As it initializes, the Authentication Server process creates the two files
|
||
|
|
that constitute the Authentication Database, <B>kaserver.DB0</B>
|
||
|
|
and <B>kaserver.DBSYS1</B>, in the <B>/usr/afs/db</B> directory
|
||
|
|
if they do not already exist. Use the commands in the <B>kas</B>
|
||
|
|
suite to administer the database.
|
||
|
|
<P>The Authentication Server is responsible for several aspects of AFS
|
||
|
|
security, including:
|
||
|
|
<UL>
|
||
|
|
<P><LI>Maintenance of all AFS server encryption keys and user passwords in the
|
||
|
|
Authentication Database.
|
||
|
|
<P><LI>Creation of the tickets and tokens that users and servers use to establish
|
||
|
|
secure connections. Its Ticket Granting Service (TGS) component
|
||
|
|
performs this function.
|
||
|
|
</UL>
|
||
|
|
<P>The Authentication Server records a trace of its activity in the
|
||
|
|
<B>/usr/afs/logs/AuthLog</B> file. Use the <B>bos getlog</B>
|
||
|
|
command to display the contents of the file. Use the <B>kdb</B>
|
||
|
|
command to read the protected files associated with the <B>AuthLog</B>
|
||
|
|
file, <B>AuthLog.dir</B> and <B>AuthLog.pag</B>.
|
||
|
|
<P><STRONG>Options</STRONG>
|
||
|
|
<DL>
|
||
|
|
<P><DT><B>-noAuth
|
||
|
|
</B><DD>Assigns the unprivileged identity <B>anonymous</B> to the
|
||
|
|
issuer. Thus, it establishes an unauthenticated connection between the
|
||
|
|
issuer and the Authentication Server. It is useful only when
|
||
|
|
authorization checking is disabled on the database server machine. In
|
||
|
|
normal circumstances, the Authentication Server allows only authorized
|
||
|
|
(privileged) users to issue commands that affect or contact the Authentication
|
||
|
|
Database and will refuse to perform such an action even if the
|
||
|
|
<B>-noAuth</B> flag is used.
|
||
|
|
<P><DT><B>-fastKeys
|
||
|
|
</B><DD>Is a test flag for use by the AFS Development staff; it serves no
|
||
|
|
functional purpose.
|
||
|
|
<P><DT><B>-database
|
||
|
|
</B><DD>Specifies the pathname of an alternate directory in which the
|
||
|
|
Authentication Database files reside. Provide the complete pathname,
|
||
|
|
ending in the base filename to which the <B>.DB0</B> and
|
||
|
|
<B>.DBSYS1</B> extensions are appended. For example, the
|
||
|
|
appropriate value for the default database files is
|
||
|
|
<B>/usr/afs/db/kaserver</B>.
|
||
|
|
<P>Provide the <B>-localfiles</B> argument along with this one;
|
||
|
|
otherwise, the <B>-localfiles</B> argument is also set to the value of
|
||
|
|
this argument, which is probably inappropriate.
|
||
|
|
<P><DT><B>-localfiles
|
||
|
|
</B><DD>Specifies the pathname of an alternate directory in which the auxiliary
|
||
|
|
Authentication Database file resides. Provide the complete pathname,
|
||
|
|
ending in the base filename to which the <B>auxdb</B> suffix is
|
||
|
|
appended. For example, the appropriate value for the default auxiliary
|
||
|
|
database file is <B>/usr/afs/local/kaserver</B>.
|
||
|
|
<P><DT><B>-minhours
|
||
|
|
</B><DD>Specifies the minimum number of hours that must pass between password
|
||
|
|
changes made by any regular user. System administrators (with the
|
||
|
|
<TT>ADMIN</TT> flag in their Authentication Database entry) can change
|
||
|
|
passwords as often as desired. Setting a minimum time between password
|
||
|
|
changes is not recommended.
|
||
|
|
<P><DT><B>-servers
|
||
|
|
</B><DD>Names each database server machine running an Authentication Server with
|
||
|
|
which the local Authentication Server is to synchronize its copy of the
|
||
|
|
Authentication Database , rather than with the machines listed in the local
|
||
|
|
<B>/usr/afs/etc/CellServDB</B> file.
|
||
|
|
<P><DT><B>-enable_peer_stats
|
||
|
|
</B><DD>Activates the collection of Rx statistics and allocates memory for their
|
||
|
|
storage. For each connection with a specific UDP port on another
|
||
|
|
machine, a separate record is kept for each type of RPC (FetchFile, GetStatus,
|
||
|
|
and so on) sent or received. To display or otherwise access the
|
||
|
|
records, use the Rx Monitoring API.
|
||
|
|
<P><DT><B>-enable_process_stats
|
||
|
|
</B><DD>Activates the collection of Rx statistics and allocates memory for their
|
||
|
|
storage. A separate record is kept for each type of RPC (FetchFile,
|
||
|
|
GetStatus, and so on) sent or received, aggregated over all connections to
|
||
|
|
other machines. To display or otherwise access the records, use the Rx
|
||
|
|
Monitoring API.
|
||
|
|
<P><DT><B>-help
|
||
|
|
</B><DD>Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
|
||
|
|
are ignored.
|
||
|
|
</DL>
|
||
|
|
<P><STRONG>Examples</STRONG>
|
||
|
|
<P>The following <B>bos create</B> command creates a <B>kaserver</B>
|
||
|
|
process on <B>fs3.abc.com</B> (the command appears on two
|
||
|
|
lines here only for legibility):
|
||
|
|
<PRE> % <B>bos create -server fs3.abc.com -instance kaserver</B> \
|
||
|
|
<B>-type simple -cmd /usr/afs/bin/kaserver</B>
|
||
|
|
</PRE>
|
||
|
|
<P><STRONG>Privilege Required</STRONG>
|
||
|
|
<P>The issuer must be logged in as the superuser <B>root</B> on a file
|
||
|
|
server machine to issue the command at a command shell prompt. It is
|
||
|
|
conventional instead to create and start the process by issuing the <B>bos
|
||
|
|
create</B> command.
