NAME

dtkarc - DTKA user configuration commands file

DESCRIPTION

DTKA user configuration commands are passed to dtkaadmin either in a file of text lines or interactively at dtkaadmin's command prompt (:). Commands are interpreted line-by line, with exactly one command per line. The formats and effects of the DTKA user function administration commands are described below.

COMMANDS

  • ?

    The help command. This will display a listing of the commands and their formats. It is the same as the h command.

  • #

    Comment line. Lines beginning with # are not interpreted.

  • e { 1 | 0 }

    Echo control. Setting echo to 1 causes all output printed by dtkaadmin to be logged as well as sent to stdout. Setting echo to 0 disables this behavior.

  • 1

    The initialize command. Until this command is executed, the DTKA user function is not in operation on the local ION node and most dtkaadmin commands will fail.

  • i

    The info This command will print information about the current state of the local node's DTKA user function, including the current settings of all parameters that can be managed as described below.

  • m keygentime time

    The manage key generation time command. This command sets the time at which the node will next generate a public/private key pair and multicast the public key. The command is not needed in normal operations, because future key generation times are computed automatically as key pairs are generated. time must be in yyyy/mm/dd-hh:mm:ss format.

  • m interval key_pair_generation_interval

    The manage key pair generation interval command. This interval, expressed as a number of seconds, controls the period on which the DTKA user function will generate new public/private key pairs. The default value is 604800 (one week).

  • m leadtime key_pair_effectivenes_lead_time

    The manage key pair effectivenes lead time command. This interval, expressed as a number of seconds, controls the length of time after the time of key pair generation at which the key pair will become effective. The default value is 345600 (four days).

  • h

    The help command. This will display a listing of the commands and their formats. It is the same as the ? command.

EXAMPLES

  • m interval 3600

    Asserts that the DTKA function will generate a new key pair every 3600 seconds (one hour).
