There were several different real and made-up hostnames and company names used throughout our documentation examples. The IETF has reserved "example.com" and other "example" TLDs for use in examples (RFC 2606). Replace almost all references to ABC Corporation, DEF Corporation, and State University, as well as "abc.com", "bigcell.com", "def.com", "def.gov", "ghi.com", "ghi.gov", "jkl.com", "mit.edu", "stanford.edu", "state.edu", "stateu.edu", "uncc.edu", and "xyz.com". Standardize on "Example Corporation", "Example Network", "Example Organization" (example.com, example.net, and example.org). The Scout documentation in the Admin Guide contains PNG images that contain the old cell names, so I left those references until the images can be replaced.

kas_stringtokey - Converts a character string into an octal key
|
|
|

=head1 SYNOPSIS

|

|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The B<kas stringtokey> command converts the character string specified
|
|
with the B<-string> argument into an octal string suitable for use as an
|
|
encryption key.
|
|
|
|
The B<kas> 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 F</usr/vice/etc/ThisCell>
|
|
file). Use the B<-cell> argument to convert a string into a key
|
|
appropriate for a cell other than the local one.
|
|
|
|
=head1 CAUTIONS
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
=head1 OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item B<-string> <I<password string>>
|
|
|
|
Specifies the character string to convert into an octal key.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-cell> <I<cell name>>
|
|
|
|
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> command interpreter determines the name of the local cell by
|
|
consulting:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
First, the value of the environment variable AFSCELL.
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
Second, the cellname in the F</usr/vice/etc/ThisCell> file on the local
|
|
machine.
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
=item B<-help>
|
|
|
|
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
|
|
ignored.
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
=head1 OUTPUT
|
|
|
|
The output is of the following form:
|
|
|
|
Converting I<password string> in realm 'I<cell_name>' yields key='I<key>'.
|
|
|
|
=head1 EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
The following example shows the octal key equivalent of the string
|
|
C<new_pswd> in the Example Corporation cell.
|
|
|
|
% kas stringtokey new_pswd
|
|
Converting new_pswd in realm 'EXAMPLE.COM' yields
|
|
key='\346\307\364\320\263\233\342\354'.
|
|
|
|
=head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
|
|
|
|
None, and no password is required.
