sfsauthd8

Usage

Overview

sfsauthd is the program responsible for authenticating users. sfsrwsd and other daemons communicate with sfsauthd, forwarding it authentication requests from sfsagent processes on remote client machines. sfsauthd informs requesting daemons of whether authentication requests are valid, and if so what local credentials to associate with the remote user agent. The sfskey program also communicates directly with remote sfsauthd processes when retrieving and updating users keys (with sfskey add, update, register, and more).

Options

-f config-file

Specify an alternate sfssauthd_config configuration file. The default, if -f is unspecified, is /etc/sfs/sfsauthd_config.

-u path

Bind unix domain socket path, and accept TCP connections passed over connections to that socket. This option allows sfssd to communicate with already running sfsauthd commands using a directive like Service 2 -u path in sfssd_config .
