=head1 DESCRIPTION The B command constructs a server encryption key from the text string provided, assigns it the key version number specified with the B<-kvno> argument, and adds it to the F file on the machine specified with the B<-server> argument. Normally, B should be used instead of this command; see L for more details. The primary use of B is for cells that are still using the Authentication Server instead of a Kerberos v5 KDC. It may, however, also be useful in unusual circumstances where a key needs to be added based on a known password rather than via a Kerberos v5 keytab. When using B with an AFS cell that uses the Authentication Server, be sure to use the B or B command to add the same key to the C entry in the Authentication Database. Do not use the B<-key> argument, which echoes the password string visibly on the screen. If the argument is omitted, the BOS Server prompts for the string and does not echo it visibly: Input key: Retype input key: The BOS Server prohibits reuse of any key version number already listed in the F file. This ensures that users who still have tickets sealed with the current key are not prevented from communicating with a server process because the current key is overwritten with a new key. Use the B command to display the key version numbers in the F file. =head1 CAUTIONS In the unusual case of using B to add a key with a known password matching a password used to generate Kerberos v5 keys, the key in the Kerberos v5 KDC database must have only the DES encryption type and must use C salt, not the default Kerberos v5 salt. Otherwise, the key generated by B will not match the key generated by the Kerberos v5 KDC. =head1 OPTIONS =over 4 =item B<-server> > Indicates the server machine on which to change the F file. Identify the machine by IP address or its host name (either fully-qualified or abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see L. In cells that use the Update Server to distribute the contents of the F directory, it is conventional to specify only the system control machine as a value for the B<-server> argument. Otherwise, repeat the command for each file server machine. For further discussion, see L. =item B<-key> > Specifies a character string just like a password; the BOS Server calls a DES conversion function to encode it into a form appropriate for use as an encryption key. Omit this argument to have the BOS Server prompt for the string instead. =item B<-kvno> > Defines the new key's key version number. It must be an integer in the range from C<0> (zero) through C<255>. For the sake of simplicity, use the number one higher than the current highest key version number; use the B command to display key version numbers. =item B<-cell> > Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L. =item B<-noauth> Assigns the unprivileged identity C to the issuer. Do not combine this flag with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L. =item B<-localauth> Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local F file. The B command interpreter presents the ticket to the BOS Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the B<-cell> or B<-noauth> options. For more details, see L. =item B<-help> Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored. =back =head1 OUTPUT If the strings typed at the C and C prompts do not match, the following message appears, and the command exits without adding a new key: Input key mismatch =head1 EXAMPLES The following command adds a new server encryption key with key version number 14 to the B file kept on the machine C (the system control machine). The issuer omits the B<-key> argument, as recommended, and provides the password at the prompts. % bos addkey -server fs1.abc.com -kvno 14 Input key: Retype input key: =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED The issuer must be listed in the F file on the machine named by the B<-server> argument, or must be logged onto a server machine as the local superuser C if the B<-localauth> flag is included. =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L, L, L, L =head1 COPYRIGHT IBM Corporation 2000.
