=head1 DESCRIPTION The B command enables or disables authorization checking on the server machine named by the B<-server> argument. When authorization checking is enabled (the normal case), the AFS server processes running on the machine verify that the issuer of a command meets its privilege requirements. When authorization checking is disabled, server processes perform any action for anyone, including the unprivileged user C; this security exposure precludes disabling of authorization checking except during installation or emergencies. To indicate to the server processes that authorization checking is disabled, the BOS Server creates the zero-length file F on its local disk. All AFS server processes constantly monitor for the F file's presence and do not check for authorization when it is present. The BOS Server removes the file when this command is used to re-enable authorization checking. =head1 CAUTIONS Do not create the F file directly, except when directed by instructions for dealing with emergencies (doing so requires being logged in as the local superuser C). Use this command instead. =head1 OPTIONS =over 4 =item B<-server> > Indicates the server machine on which to enable or disable authorization checking. Identify the machine by IP address or its host name (either fully-qualified or abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see L. =item B<-authrequired> (on | off) Enables authorization checking if the value is C, or disables it if the value is C. =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 EXAMPLES The following example disables authorization checking on the machine C: % bos setauth -server fs7.example.com -authrequired off =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 =head1 COPYRIGHT IBM Corporation 2000.
