NAME

       grid-mapfile-add-entry - Add an entry to a gridmap file

SYNOPSIS

       grid-mapfile-add-entry [-help] [-usage] [-version] [-versions]

       grid-mapfile-add-entry {-dn DISTINGUISHED-NAME} {-ln LOCAL-NAME...}
			      [[-d] | [-dryrun]]
			      [[-mapfile MAPFILE] | [-f MAPFILE]]

DESCRIPTION

       The grid-mapfile-add-entry program adds a new mapping from an X.509 distinguished name to a local POSIX user name to a gridmap file.
       Gridmap files are used as a simple authorization method for services such as GRAM5 or GridFTP.

       The grid-mapfile-add-entry program verifies that the LOCAL-NAME is a valid user name on the system on which it was run, and that the
       mapping between DISTINGUISHED-NAME and LOCAL-NAME does not already exist in the gridmap file.

       By default, grid-mapfile-add-entry will modify the gridmap file named by the GRIDMAP environment variable if present, or the file
       /etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile if not. This can be changed by the use of the -mapfile or -f command-line options.

       If the gridmap file does not exist, grid-mapfile-add-entry will create it. If it already exists, grid-mapfile-add-entry will save the
       current contents of the file to a new file with the string .old appended to the file name.

       The full set of command-line options to grid-mapfile-add-entry are:

       -help, -usage
	   Display the command-line options to grid-mapfile-add-entry.

       -version, -versions
	   Display the version number of the grid-mapfile-add-entry command. The second form includes more details.

       -dn DISTINGUISHED-NAME
	   The X.509 distinguished name to add a mapping for. The name should be in OpenSSL's oneline format.

       -ln LOCAL-NAME...
	   The POSIX user name to map the distinguished name to. This name must be a valid username. Add multiple LOCAL-NAME strings after the -ln
	   command-line option. If any of the local names are invalid, no changes will be made to the gridmap file. Note that if multiple
	   occurances of the -ln command-line option are present, only the the last one will be added.

       -d, -dryrun
	   Verify local names and display diagnostics about what would be added to the gridmap file, but don't actually modify the file.

       -mapfile MAPFILE, -f MAPFILE
	   Modify the gridmap file named by MAPFILE instead of the default.

EXAMPLES

       Add a mapping between the current user's certificate to the current user id to a gridmap file in $HOME/.gridmap:

	   % grid-mapfile-add-entry -f $HOME/.gridmap -dn "`grid-cert-info -subject`" -ln "`id -un`"
	   Modifying /home/juser/.gridmap ...
	   /home/juser/.gridmap does not exist... Attempting to create /home/juser/.gridmap
	   New entry:
	   "/DC=org/DC=example/DC=grid/CN=Joe User" juser
	   (1) entry added

       Add a mapping between the a distinguished name and multiple local names:

	   % grid-mapfile-add-entry -dn "/DC=org/DC=example/DC=grid/CN=Joe User" juser" local1 local2
	   Modifying /home/juser/.gridmap ...
	   /home/juser/.gridmap does not exist... Attempting to create /home/juser/.gridmap
	   New entry:
	   "/DC=org/DC=example/DC=grid/CN=Joe User" local1,local2
	   (1) entry added
