NAME
gfkey - management of Gfarm session keys
SYNOPSIS
gfkey [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
gfkey manages the session key file, $HOME/.gfarm_shared_key, that is used for user authentication by a shared secret key in a trusted envi-
ronment when connecting to gfsd and/or gfmd.
When the home directory is shared among filesystem nodes, it is not necessary to use this command. If not, it is necessary to distribute a
session key created with the -c or -f option to every filesystem node, in advance.
OPTIONS
-c Creates a new session key when there is no valid session key. If a valid session key already exists, no operation is performed.
-f Forces the creation of a new session key, even if a valid session key already exists.
-p period
Specifies the term of validity in seconds. This option has to be used with the -c or -f option.
-l Displays the current key.
-e Displays the expiration date of the current key.
-L message-priority-level
Specifies a level of the log priority. The log messages that have higher or the same priority than the specified priority are dis-
played to the standard error. The default priority is info. Refer to the log_level directive described in the manual page of
gfarm2.conf(5) for the priority level which can be specified by this option.
-? Displays a list of command options.
