Displays all entries in the Authentication Database

## NAME

kas\_list - Displays all entries in the Authentication Database

## SYNOPSIS

**kas list** \[**-long**\] \[**-showadmin**\] \[**-showkey**\]\
     \[**-admin\_username** \<*admin principal to use for authentication*\>\]\
     \[**-password\_for\_admin** \<*admin password*\>\] \[**-cell** \<*cell name*\>\]\
     \[**-servers** \<*explicit list of authentication servers*\>+\]\
     \[**-noauth**\] \[**-help**\]

**kas ls** \[**-l**\] \[**-showa**\] \[**-showk**\]\
     \[**-a** \<*admin principal to use for authentication*\>\]\
     \[**-p** \<*admin password*\>\] \[**-c** \<*cell name*\>\]\
     \[**-se** \<*explicit list of authentication servers*\>+\] \[**-n**\] \[**-h**\]

## DESCRIPTION

The **kas list** command either displays all entries from the Authentication Database by name, or displays the full database entry for a defined set of entries, as determined by the flag provided:

- •

  To display every entry in the Authentication Database in full, include the **-long** flag.

- •

  To display only those entries in full that have the `"ADMIN"` flag set, include the **-showadmin** flag.

- •

  To list only the name of each Authentication Database entry, omit both the **-long** and **-showadmin** flags.

By default, full entries include a checksum for the encryption key, rather than the actual octal digits that constitute the key. To display the octal digits, include the **-showkey** flag with the **-long** or **-showadmin** flag.

## OPTIONS

- **-long**

  Displays every Authentication Database entry in full. Provide this flag or the **-showadmin** flag, or omit both to display just the name of every database entry.

- **-showadmin**

  Displays in full only the Authentication Database entries that have the `"ADMIN"` flag set. Provide this flag or the **-long** flag, or omit both to display just the name of every database entry.

- **-showkey**

  Displays the octal digits that constitute the key in each full entry. Provide either the **-long** or **-showadmin** flag along with this one.

- **-admin\_username** \<*admin principal*\>

  Specifies the user identity under which to authenticate with the Authentication Server for execution of the command. For more details, see [*kas*(8)](/kas/8.md).

- **-password\_for\_admin** \<*admin password*\>

  Specifies the password of the command's issuer. If it is omitted (as recommended), the **kas** command interpreter prompts for it and does not echo it visibly. For more details, see [*kas*(8)](/kas/8.md).

- **-cell** \<*cell name*\>

  Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see [*kas*(8)](/kas/8.md).

- **-servers** \<*authentication servers*\>+

  Names each machine running an Authentication Server with which to establish a connection. For more details, see [*kas*(8)](/kas/8.md).

- **-noauth**

  Assigns the unprivileged identity `"anonymous"` to the issuer. For more details, see [*kas*(8)](/kas/8.md).

- **-help**

  Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

## OUTPUT

If neither the **-long** or **-showadmin** flag is provided, the output lists the name of each entry in the Authentication Database on its own line.

If the **-long** flag is included, the output includes every Authentication Database entry in full. If the **-showadmin** flag is included, the output includes in full only the Authentication Database entries that have the `"ADMIN"` flag set. If the **-showkey** is provided along with either one, the output includes the octal digits that constitute the encryption key in each entry.

A full Authentication Database entry includes the same information displayed by the **kas examine** command; for details, see that command's reference page.

## PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

The issuer must have the `"ADMIN"` flag set on his or her Authentication Database entry.
