NAME
globus-k5 - Acquire Kerberos Credentials for use with Grid Services SYNOPSIS
globus-k5 SERVICE-COMMAND [SERVICE-ARGS...] DESCRIPTION
The globus-k5 program is an authorization module used by the globus-gatekeeper program to acquire Kerberos 5 Credentials prior to executing a Grid Service. This may be accomplished by running kinit with a password stored in the globuskmap file, using the NCSA krb525 command, or the sslk5 command to use the X509 user proxy. The arguments passed to globus-k5 will not be used by it, but will be passed onto the job manager. The first parameter must be the path to the Grid Service. It is expected that the environment will contain the variables GLOBUSID and USER for the Grid and local POSIX user identities. This program is normally run as root, and will call seteuid() prior to executing the Grid Service. The parameters to use and the mapping for the globus to K5 user are located in the globuskmap file. FORMAT OF THE GLOBUSKMAP FILE
The globuskmap file is a line-oriented file which each line containing a command to run to acquire Kerberos 5 credentials for a Grid identity. Each line consists of an optionally-quoted GLOBUSID value followed by a command-line for running a process to acquire a Kerberos credential. For example: "/O=Example/OU=Grid/CN=Joe User" /usr/afsws/bin/klog -principal juser -password mypasswd -cell infn.it ENVIRONMENT
If the following variables affect the execution of globus-k5: GLOBUSKMAP Path to the globuskmap file. USER POSIX username that the service will run as. KRB5CCNAME Path to a Kerberos credential cache. GLOBUS_ID Grid identity to generate Kerberos credentials for. FILES
/etc/globuskmap Default file mapping Grid identities to Kerberos 5 principals. SEE ALSO

NAME
globus-gatekeeper-admin - Manage globus-gatekeeper services SYNOPSIS
globus-gatekeeper-admin [-h] globus-gatekeeper-admin [-l] [-n NAME] globus-gatekeeper-admin [-e SERVICE] [-n NAME] globus-gatekeeper-admin [-E] globus-gatekeeper-admin [-d SERVICE] DESCRIPTION
The globus-gatekeeper-admin program manages service entries which are used by the globus-gatekeeper to execute services. Service entries are located in the /etc/grid-services directory. The globus-gatekeeper-admin can list, enable, or disable specific services, or set a service as the default. The -h command-line option shows a brief usage message. Listing services The -l command-line option to globus-gatekeeper-admin will cause it to list all of the services which are available to be run by the globus-gatekeeper. In the output, the service name will be followed by its status in brackets. Possible status strings are ENABLED, DISABLED, and ALIAS to NAME, where NAME is another service name. If the -n NAME is used, then only information about the service named NAME is printed. Enabling services The -e SERVICE command-line option to globus-gatekeeper-admin will cause it to enable a service so that it may be run by the globus-gatekeeper. If the -n NAME option is used as well, then the service will be enabled with the alias NAME. Enabling a default service The -E command-line option to globus-gatekeeper-admin will cause it to enable a service alias with the name jobmanager. The globus-gatekeeper-admin program will choose the first service it finds as the default. To enable a particular service as the default, use the -e parameter described above with the -n parameter. Disabling services The -d SERVICE command-line option to globus-gatekeeper-admin will cause it to disable a service so that it may not be run by the globus-gatekeeper. All aliases to a disabled service are also disabled. FILES
