NAME

bpsecadmin - BP security policy administration interface

SYNOPSIS

bpsecadmin [ commands_filename ]

DESCRIPTION

bpsecadmin configures and manages BP security policy on the local computer.

It configures and manages BP security policy on the local computer in response to BP configuration commands found in commands_filename, if provided; if not, bpsecadmin prints a simple prompt (:) so that the user may type commands directly into standard input.

The format of commands for commands_filename can be queried from bpsecadmin by entering the command 'h' or '?' at the prompt. The commands are documented in bpsecrc(5).

EXIT STATUS

"0"

Successful completion of BP security policy administration.

EXAMPLES

bpsecadmin

Enter interactive ION security policy administration command entry mode.
bpsecadmin host1.bpsecrc

Execute all configuration commands in host1.bpsecrc, then terminate immediately.

FILES

Status and diagnostic messages from bpsecadmin and from other software that utilizes the ION node are nominally written to a log file in the current working directory within which bpsecadmin was run. The log file is typically named ion.log.

ENVIRONMENT

No environment variables apply.

DIAGNOSTICS

Note: all ION administration utilities expect source file input to be lines of ASCII text that are NL-delimited. If you edit the ionrc file on a Windows machine, be sure to use dos2unix to convert it to Unix text format before presenting it to bpsecadmin. Otherwise bpsecadmin will detect syntax errors and will not function satisfactorily.

The following diagnostics may be issued to the log file:

Can't open command file...

The commands_filename specified in the command line doesn't exist.

Various errors that don't cause bpsecadmin to fail but are noted in the log file may be caused by improperly formatted commands given at the prompt or in the commands_filename. Please see bpsecrc(5) for details.
