BOS_REMOVEKEY(8)					       AFS Command Reference						  BOS_REMOVEKEY(8)

NAME

       bos_removekey - Removes a server encryption key from the KeyFile file

SYNOPSIS

       bos removekey -server <machine name>
	   -kvno <key version number>+ [-cell <cell name>]
	   [-noauth] [-localauth] [-help]

       bos removek -s <machine name> -k <key version number>+
	   [-c <cell name>] [-n] [-l] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The bos removekey command removes each specified encryption key from the /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file on the machine named by the
       -server argument. Use the -kvno argument to identify each key by its key version number; use the bos listkeys command to display the key
       version numbers.

CAUTIONS

       Before removing a obsolete key, verify that the cell's maximum ticket lifetime has passed since the current key was defined using the kas
       setpassword and bos addkey commands. This ensures that no clients still possess tickets encrypted with the obsolete key.

OPTIONS

       -server <machine name>
	   Indicates the server machine on which to change the /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. Identify the machine by IP address or its host
	   name (either fully-qualified or abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see bos(8).

	   In cells that use the Update Server to distribute the contents of the /etc/openafs/server directory, it is conventional to specify only
	   the system control machine as a value for the -server argument. Otherwise, repeat the command for each file server machine. For further
	   discussion, see bos(8).

       -kvno <key version number>+
	   Specifies the key version number of each key to remove.

       -cell <cell name>
	   Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see bos(8).

       -noauth
	   Assigns the unprivileged identity "anonymous" to the issuer. Do not combine this flag with the -localauth flag. For more details, see
	   bos(8).

       -localauth
	   Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. The bos command interpreter presents the ticket
	   to the BOS Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell or -noauth options. For more details, see
	   bos(8).

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

EXAMPLES

       The following command removes the keys with key version numbers 5 and 6 from the KeyFile file on the system control machine "fs1.abc.com".

	  % bos removekey -server fs1.abc.com -kvno 5 6

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

       The issuer must be listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on the machine named by the -server argument, or must be logged onto a
       server machine as the local superuser "root" if the -localauth flag is included.
