This completes the first editing pass of the man pages. Very little content editing has been done, but the server and client versions of various man pages have been combined into a single man page for the file (affects CellServDB, ThisCell, NetInfo, and NetRestrict), the descriptions of the various AFS cache files have been combined into one afs_cache man page, and the descriptions of the two butc log files have been combined into one butc_logs man page. For man pages for databases with two files, symlinks are now created on installation for the secondary file name. All of the man pages should now be ready for public review, additional editing and cleanup, and content editing.

KeyFile - Defines AFS server encryption keys
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The F<KeyFile> file defines the server encryption keys that the AFS server
|
|
processes running on the machine use to decrypt the tickets presented by
|
|
clients during the mutual authentication process. AFS server processes
|
|
perform privileged actions only for clients that possess a ticket
|
|
encrypted with one of the keys from the file. The file must reside in the
|
|
F</usr/afs/etc> directory on every server machine. For more detailed
|
|
information on mutual authentication and server encryption keys, see the
|
|
I<IBM AFS Administration Guide>.
|
|
|
|
Each key has a corresponding a key version number that distinguishes it
|
|
from the other keys. The tickets that clients present are also marked with
|
|
a key version number to tell the server process which key to use to
|
|
decrypt it. The F<KeyFile> file must always include a key with the same
|
|
key version number and contents as the key currently listed for the C<afs>
|
|
entry in the Authentication Database.
|
|
|
|
The F<KeyFile> file is in binary format, so always use the appropriate
|
|
commands from the B<bos> command suite to administer it:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
The B<bos addkey> command to define a new key.
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
The B<bos listkeys> command to display the keys.
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
The B<bos removekey> command to remove a key from the file.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
In cells that use the Update Server to distribute the contents of the
|
|
F</usr/afs/etc> directory, it is customary to edit only the copy of the
|
|
file stored on the system control machine. Otherwise, edit the file on
|
|
each server machine individually.
