NAME

ionsecadmin - ION global security database management interface

SYNOPSIS

ionsecadmin [ commands_filename ]

DESCRIPTION

ionsecadmin configures and manages the ION security database on the local computer.

It configures and manages the ION security database on the local computer in response to ION configuration commands found in commands_filename, if provided; if not, ionsecadmin 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 ionsecadmin by entering the command 'h' or '?' at the prompt. The commands are documented in ionsecrc(5).

EXIT STATUS

"0"

Successful completion of ION security database administration.

EXAMPLES

ionsecadmin

Enter interactive ION security policy administration command entry mode.
ionsecadmin host1.ionsecrc

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

FILES

Status and diagnostic messages from ionsecadmin and from other software that utilizes the ION node are nominally written to a log file in the current working directory within which ionsecadmin 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 ionsecadmin. Otherwise ionsecadmin 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 ionsecadmin 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 ionsecrc(5) for details.
