|
|
<P><STRONG>Description</STRONG>
|
|
<P>The <B>kas stringtokey</B> command converts the character string
|
|
specified with the <B>-string</B> argument into an octal string suitable
|
|
for use as an encryption key.
|
|
<P>The <B>kas</B> command interpreter generates the octal key by using an
|
|
encryption algorithm on the combination of the specified string and the name
|
|
of the local cell (as recorded in the local <B>/usr/vice/etc/ThisCell</B>
|
|
file). Use the <B>-cell</B> argument to convert a string into a key
|
|
appropriate for a cell other than the local one.
|
|
<P><STRONG>Cautions</STRONG>
|
|
<P>This command writes the key to the standard output stream, on which it can
|
|
possibly be intercepted by third parties. It is not very secure to use
|
|
the key in an actual Authentication Database entry.
|
|
<P><STRONG>Options</STRONG>
|
|
<DL>
|
|
<P><DT><B>-string
|
|
</B><DD>Specifies the character string to convert into an octal key.
|
|
<P><DT><B>-cell
|
|
</B><DD>Specifies the complete Internet domain name of the cell to combine with
|
|
the password string while generating the key. If this argument is
|
|
omitted, the <B>kas</B> command interpreter determines the name of the
|
|
local cell by consulting:
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<P><LI>First, the value of the environment variable AFSCELL.
|
|
<P><LI>Second, the cellname in the <B>/usr/vice/etc/ThisCell</B> file on the
|
|
local machine.
|
|
</UL>
|
|
<P><DT><B>-help
|
|
</B><DD>Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
|
|
are ignored.
|
|
</DL>
|
|
<P><STRONG>Output</STRONG>
|
|
<P>The output is of the following form:
|
|
<PRE> Converting <VAR>password string</VAR> in realm '<VAR>cell_name</VAR>' yields key='<VAR>key</VAR>'.
|
|
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<P><STRONG>Examples</STRONG>
|
|
<P>The following example shows the octal key equivalent of the string
|
|
<B>new_pswd</B> in the ABC Corporation cell.
|
|
<PRE> %<B> kas stringtokey new_pswd</B>
|
|
Converting new_pswd in realm 'ABC.COM' yields
|
|
key='\346\307\364\320\263\233\342\354'.
|
|
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<P><STRONG>Privilege Required</STRONG>
|
|
<P>None, and no password is required.
