Java WS Core Commands


These command line tools are available on Unix and Windows platforms and will work in the same way (of course within the platform rules - the path syntax, variable definitions, etc.).

The wsrf-* and wsn-* clients should work against any service that supports the given WSRF or WSN operations.

Name

globus-start-container — Starts standalone container

Synopsis

globus-start-container

Tool description

Starts a standalone container. By default a secure container is started on port 8443 and is accessible via HTTPS. On successful startup a list of services will be displayed on the console. By default the non secure (HTTP) container is started on port 8080.

Command syntax

 globus-start-container [options]

Table 1. Options

-help

Displays help information about the command.

-p <port>

Sets the port number for the container.

-i <address>

Binds container to the specified network address.

-quiet

Does not show a list of services at startup.

-debug

Enables debug mode.

-nosec

Starts a non secure (HTTP) container. Please note that this option only disables transport security. Message security can still be used.

-containerDesc <file>

Specifies a container security descriptor file.

-profile <name>

Specifies a configuration profile name for the container.

Name

globus-stop-container — Stops standalone container

Synopsis

globus-stop-container

Tool description

Stops a standalone container. By default this command will attempt to stop a container running on localhost:8443 and perform a soft shutdown.

The globus-stop-container command invokes a ShutdownService running in the container. By default that service is configured to perform self authorization and therefore the globus-stop-container must be executed with the same credentials as the container it is running with. Alternatively, the service can be configured with a gridmap file to allow a subset of users (with their own credentials) to invoke the service (please see the service security deployment descriptor for details).

Command syntax

globus-stop-container [options] ['soft' | 'hard']

-profile <name>

Specifies the profile name under which the configuration files in the GAR will be deployed. Please see "Configuration Profiles" under Configuring Java WS Core for details.

-tomcat <dir>

Deploys a GAR file to Apache Tomcat. The <dir> argument must point to the Tomcat installation directory. Note: Java WS Core must be already deployed in Tomcat. Please see Deploying into Tomcat section for details.

-D<property>=<value>

Passes arbitrary property-value pairs. See below for the list of currently supported properties.

Table 21. Supported property-value pairs

-Dall.scripts=true

Causes Windows and Unix launcher scripts to be generated.

-DdoValidation=false

Turns off automatic validation of service configuration files.

[Note]Note

Since GT 4.2, globus-deploy-gar command will NOT overwrite the existing deployment unless -overwrite option is specified. It is recommended to undeploy the existing deployment first. The container must be off to deploy a GAR file.

Example I:

 $ globus-deploy-gar /tmp/gars/globus_wsrf_core_samples_counter.gar

The above command will deploy the globus_wsrf_core_samples_counter.gar into Java WS Core installation directory. The above command invokes the deployGar task in the build-packages.xml Ant build file. The above example is equivalent to running:

 $ ant -f $GLOBUS_LOCATION/share/globus_wsrf_common/build-packages.xml deployGar \
    -Dgar.name=/tmp/gars/globus_wsrf_core_samples_counter.gar

The profile name can be passed using the -Dprofile Ant option. To enable back up of the existing configuration files add the -DcreateBackup=true Ant option. Make sure to use the absolute path name for the gar file when using Ant directly.

Example II:

 $ globus-deploy-gar -tomcat /soft/tomcat-5.5.20 \
    /tmp/gars/globus_wsrf_core_samples_counter.gar

The above command will deploy the globus_wsrf_core_samples_counter.gar into Apache Tomcat. The above command invokes the deployGar task in the tomcat-service.xml Ant build file. The above example is equivalent to running:

 $ ant -f $GLOBUS_LOCATION/share/globus_wsrf_common/tomcat/tomcat-service.xml deployGar \
    -Dgar.name=/tmp/gars/globus_wsrf_core_samples_counter.gar \ -Dtomcat.dir=/soft/tomcat-5.5.20

By default the GAR file will be deployed under the "wsrf" web application. To specify a different web application name use -Dwebapp.name=<name> option.

 $ globus-remote-undeploy-gar globus_wsrf_core_samples_counter

To see what GAR files can be undeployed on the remote container run the following query on the DeployService, for example:

 $ wsrf-query -z hostSelf -s https://127.0.0.1:8443/wsrf/services/DeployService

Name

globus-remote-deploy-gar — Deploys a GAR file (remotely)

Synopsis

globus-remote-deploy-gar

Tool description

The globus-remote-deploy-gar command deploys a GAR file remotely. It first transfers the GAR file to the DeployService running in the remote container and then it deploys it using the deploy() operation of the service (the tool can also perform these two operations separately).

By default the DeployService is configured to perform self authorization and therefore the globus-remote-deploy-gar must be executed with the same credentials as the container it is running with. Alternatively, the service can be configured with a gridmap file to allow a subset of users (with their own credentials) to invoke the service (please see the service security deployment descriptor for details).

[Note]Note

This command only works with the standalone container. Please see the Java WS Core Dynamic Deploy Design Document for more information.

Command syntax

globus-remote-deploy-gar [options] <gar>

The <gar> can be either an URL or a file location. If a file location is passed to the tool, it will transfer the file to the service via SOAP with Attachments (the upload() function) using the MTOM format. If an URL is passed, the tool will call the download() function of the service, and let the service download the GAR file.

The following are command-specific options in addition to the common options:

globus-wsc-container — Host C web services

Synopsis

globus-wsc-container [-help] [-usage] [-version]
[-bg] [-pidfile PID]
[-max MAX-SESSIONS]
[-port PORT]
[-log LOGPATH]
[-nosec]

Description

The globus-wsc-container is a stand-alone SOAP service hosting container. It listens for SOAP / HTTP operation requests on a network port and dispatches those to dynamically loaded service modules. By default, globus-wsc-container will process SOAP messages until it receives a SIGINT or SIGTERM signal. In interactive usage, it typically runs until the user enters Ctrl+C on the keyboard.

The full set of command-line options to globus-wsc-container are:

-helpDisplay a help message and exit
-usageDisplay a short usage message and exit
-versionDisplay the program version and exit
-bgRun the program as a daemon
-pid PIDFILEWrite the process ID of the program to PIDFILE
-max MAX-SESSIONSAllow at most MAX-SESSIONS concurrent sessions to be processed by the program
-port PORTListen for SOAP/HTTP(s) connections on TCP port PORT
-log LOGPATHLog container information to LOGPATH
-nosecDisable TLS

By default, the globus-wsc-container program picks an anonymous TCP port within values specified by the GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE environment variable, if present. To choose a specific port to listen on, pass the option -port PORT on the command-line of the process.

The globus-wsc-container program can also be run in the background as a daemon. This is done by passing the -bg command-line option. This can be combined with the -pidfile PID option to run in the background and record the PID of the process in a file, so that the daemon can be easily terminated.

By default, the container uses TLS for SOAP requests over https. This can be disabled to use unprotected http by passing the -nosec command-line option to this program. Message-level security may be enabled on a per-service basis if this is used.

To enable CEDPs "best practices" logging, pass the -log LOGPATH option to the container. The log file will contain name=value pairs for all events that the container processes.

By default the container will accept as many SOAP connections as the operating system will allow. To throttle the number of outstanding connections that can be processed in parallel, use the -max MAX-SESSIONS command-line option.

Services

The container looks for services in dynamic modules located in the $GLOBUS_LOCATION/lib/globus_service_modules directory. The Globus Toolkit ships with a number of sample services, test services, and implementations of the core WSRF services for implementing Resource Properties, Resource Lifetime, Service Groups, and Notifications. The globus-wsrf-cgen command parses WSDL schemas and generates service skeletons which can be used to implement additional web services.

Examples

Start a container in the foreground on port 8443:

% globus-wsc-container -port 8443

Contact: https://grid.example.org:8443/

Star a container as a daemon on an anonymous port, with a maximum of 64 parallel sessions, recording the port number to a file and logging to another file.

% globus-wsc-container \

SCHEMA-FILENAME...

Description

The globus-wsrf-cgen tool generates C-language bindings from WSDL and XML Schema files. The input SCHEMA-FILENAME value should be either a WSDL document containing a service description or an XML schema file containing type definitions.

If a WSDL Schema file is specified as input, globus-wsrf-cgen generates a GPT source package containing client stubs, service skeleton and stubs, and type bindings for included schema types. If an XML Schema file is specified as input, it generates a GPT source package containing type bindings. A full description of the generated files is part of the WSDL to C mapping document.

The full set of command-line options to globus-wsrf-cgen are:

-helpDisplay a help message and exit
-drDry-run: parse the command-line options and display the command-line arguments to the globus-wsdl-parser program.
-s PACKAGE-NAMEUse PACKAGE-NAME_bindings as the name for the generated GPT package
-sn SERVICE-NAMEUse SERVICE-NAME as the name of the service instead of the name in the WSDL schema document.
-d DIRECTORYGenerate the GPT source package in DIRECTORY, creating it if does not exist.
-flavor FLAVORBuild the package using the FLAVOR GPT flavor
-lang LANGCreate the service implementation file with the extension matching LANG, either "c" or "cpp". See the limitations section for more details.
-p PREFIX-MAP-FILEUse the contents of PREFIX-MAP-FILE to define the set of strings to prepend to elements, attributes, and types in various XML namespaces. See the namespace handling section of this document for more details.
-P NAMESPACE=PREFIXPrepend element, attribute, and type names in the XML namespace NAMESPACE with the string PREFIX. See the namespace handling section of this document for more details.
-n NAMESPACE-FILEGenerate bindings for schemas in the XML namespaces contained in the NAMESPACE-FILE. See the namespace handling section of this document for more details.
-N NAMESPACEGenerate bindings for schemas in the XML namespace NAMESPACE. See the namespace handling section of this document for more details.
-g NAMESPACE-FILEDo not generate bindings for schemas in the XML namespaces contained in the NAMESPACE-FILE. See the namespace handling section of this document for more details.
-G NAMESPACEDo not generate bindings for schemas in the XML namespace NAMESPACE. See the namespace handling section of this document for more details.
-ggDo not generate bindings for core WSRF namespaces. (Used internally only)
-npDo not generate a GPT package. Only create source files from the schemas. Implies -nb.
-nbDo not attempt to run configure and make dist on the generated GPT source package.
-nkDo not generate a skeleton service implementation. Used in Makefiles for packages that want to generate the types at build time, but already contain a full implementation of the service.
-nsDo not generate service bindings and skeletons. Useful for creating types- or client-only packages.
-ncDo not generate client bindings. Useful for creating types- or service-only packages.
-ntDo not generate type bindings. Useful for creating separate service or client bindings that depend on a common types package.
-no-sourcesDelay generating C source files until the package is built. By default the package Makefile contains a list of source files. This option delays the creation of the files and the list until build time. This can be used to avoid storing dynamic files in a version control system.
-nf FUNCTIONDo not generate an implementation of FUNCTION. This is useful if extra semantic information is needed to serialize or deserialize a particular data type (for example, the wsnt:TopicExpressionType requires different processing based on the value of the Dialect
-extra-cppflags CPPFLAGSAdd CPPFLAGS to the preprocessor command-line for this package.
-extra-ldflags LDFLAGSAdd LDFLAGS to the linker command-line for this package.
-extra-libs LIBSAdd LIBS to the libraries to link with this package.

Namespace Handling

XML and WSDL schemas generally contain a targetNamespace attribute which distinguishes operations, elements, attributes, type, etc from others with the same name. The C language does not define namespaces. globus-wsrf-cgen instead uses prefixes to distinguish similarly-named data types and functions. There are two ways to define a namespace prefix with globus-wsrf-cgen. The -P command-line option defines a single namespace prefix, and the -p command-line option instructs globus-wsrf-cgen to load a set of prefix definitions from a file (one per line).

For example, consider the namepace http://counter.com from the sample CounterService. In the schema for that service, there is an element named Value. the command-line option -P http://counter.com=counter_ will cause globus-wsrf-cgen to generate bindings for that element with the name counter_Value.

If a service is built from several namespaces it might make sense instead to use the -P parameter instead. Using the same service as the previous example, we could instead create a file containing

http://counter.com=counter_
http://another.counter.com=another_counter_

to generate C prefixes for multiple namespaces.

A service may be composed of operations and data types from multiple namespaces. By default globus-wsrf-cgen generates bindings for all namespaces except those used by the core WSRF specifications. These are (along with their C prefixes):

Often it is enough for a package to contain bindings for the namespaces unique to the service and compile against other packages which contain the bindings for the other namespaces. This control can be done positively via the -N and -n command-line options.

For example, to generate bindings for the http://counter.com namespace only, pass the command-line option -N http://counter.com. To generate for both the http://counter.com nd http://another.counter.com namespaces, either pass multiple -N options with one namespace each, or create a file containing:

http://counter.com
http://another.counter.com

and pass the name of the file to globus-wsrf-cgen as the parameter to the -n command-line option.

Examples

Here is a brief example of the globus-wsrf-cgen command. For more details, see the tutorials in the C WS Core developer documentation.

Create bindings for a service in the http://counter.com namespace:

% globus-wsrf-cgen -d counter \
    -N http://counter.com \
    -s counter \
    -P http://counter.com=counter_ \
    $GLOBUS_LOCATION/share/schemas/core/samples/counter_service.wsdl















Creating Bindings Package

A new package has been created at /home/griduser/counter/counter_bindings-1.2.tar.gz
To install, use the following command:

$GLOBUS_LOCATION/sbin/gpt-build /Users/bester/tmp/foo/counter/counter_bindings-1.2.tar.gz <flavor>

% 
    

Limitations

  • This program only generates bindings from document/literal style WSDL schemas. IBM developerworks has an article describing the different WSDL schema styles.
  • The bindings generated when -lang cpp is used are ANSI-C. However, all C++ keywords are avoided and no constructs that differ between C and C++ are used. This command-line option merely creates a makefile which compiles the service implementation with the C++ compiler.
  • Not all XML Schema constructs are supported. In particular, abstract types, substitution groups, and nested sequences are not implemented.

Name

grid-cert-diagnostics — Print diagnostic information about certificates and keys

Synopsis

grid-cert-diagnostics [-h] [-p]

Description

The grid-cert-diagnostics command displays information about the current user's security environment, including information about security-related environment variables, security directory search path, personal key and certificates, and trusted certificates. It is intended to provide information to help diagnose problems using GSI security.

The full set of command-line options to grid-cert-diagnostics consists of:

-hDisplay a help message and exit
-pDisplay information about the personal certificate and key that is the current user's default credential.

Examples

In this example, we see the default mode of checking the default security environment for the system, without processing the user's key and certificate. Note the user receives a warning about a cog.properties and about an expired CA certificate.

The grid-cert-info displays information from a user's credential, or from any X.509 certificate if the -file CERTIFICATE-FILENAME is used. By default, a text representation of the entire certificate is displayed. If more than one display option is present on the command line, the output is generated in the order the options occur on the command line.

The following search order is used to locate the default certificate:

  • $X509_USER_CERT
  • $HOME/.globus/usercert.pem
  • $HOME/.globus/usercred.p12

If the certificate is encoded in pkcs12, grid-cert-info will prompt for the password used to protect the .p12 file.

The full set of command-line options to grid-cert-info is:

-helpPrint help information and exit
-versionPrint version information and exit
-file CERTIFICATE-FILENAMERead credential from CERTIFICATE-FILENAME instead of the default location. The file must have a .pem or .p12 extension.
-allPrint all information from the certificate. This is the default unless any of the following options are given.
-subjectPrint the subject name of the certificate.
-issuerPrint the subject name of the issuer of the certificate. This is the subject name of the Certificate Authority which signed the certificate.
-issuerhashPrint the hash of the name of the issuer of the certificate. This is the hash of the Certificate Authority which signed the certificate.
-startdatePrint the date and time from which the certificate is valid
-enddatePrint the date and time when the certificate expires.

Examples

Print out the date range when a certificate is valid:

% grid-cert-info -startdate -enddate

Oct 29 13:09:42 2007 GMT
Oct 28 13:09:42 2008 GMT

        

Note that in this example, the start date is printed first, based on the order of the command-line options.

Limitations

The -issuerhash fails with some versions of OpenSSL.

grid-cert-request — Create a certificate request

Synopsis

grid-cert-request [-help] [-version] [-verbose] [-force]
[-commonname NAME] [-service SERVICE] [-host FQDN] [-dns FQDN,...] [-ip IP-ADDRESS, ...] [-interactive]
[-dir DIRECTORY] [-prefix PREFIX] [-ca [HASH]] [-nopw]

Description

grid-cert-request generates a public/private key pair an X.509 certificate request containing the public key and a subject name. By default, it generates a request for a user certificate for the invoking user. grid-cert-request can also be used to create host or service certificates based on command-line options. At least one Certificate Authority must be configured to use with the Globus Toolkit in order for this command to succeed.

Complete set of options to grid-cert-request is:

-helpPrint help information and exit
-versionPrint version information and exit
-verboseDon't clear screen after running OpenSSL
-forceOverwrite an existing certificate request if present.
-commonname NAMEConstruct a subject name with NAME as the final name component. By default, the subject name is inferred from the output of the finger program. If that fails, grid-cert-request will prompt of a name.
-service SERVICEConstruct a subject name with the common name constructed from the SERVICE name and the hostname joined by the / character. The -service requires that the -host option also be used. The private key created for a service certificate request is not encrypted.
-host FQDNConstruct a subject name with FQDN as the name of the host. This must be a fully-qualified name in dotted string notation (e.g. grid.example.org). If no service is specified by the -service option, the subject name will be host/FQDN.The private key created for a host certificate request is not encrypted. By default the host certificate request and key are created in /etc/grid-security.
-dns FQDN,...Add a subjectAltName extension to the certificate request containing one or more DNS names separated by the comma (,) character. These names may contain the wildcard character (*). Globus Toolkit 4.2.1 and later will process the subjectAltName extension if present when performing mutual authentication with a service.
-ip IP-ADDRESS,...Add a subjectAltName extension to the certificate request containing one or more IP address values separated by the comma (,) character. Globus Toolkit 4.2.1 and later will process the subjectAltName extension if present when performing mutual authentication with a service when the client is presented with an IP address as input.
-interactiveInteractively prompt for the components of the certificate subject name.
-dir DIRECTORYWrite the certificate request and key to DIRECTORY, creating it if the directory does not exist. By default, the certificate request and key are placed in $HOME/.globus
-prefix PREFIXPrepend the string PREFIX to the certificate, key, and request filenames. The default prefix is user for user certificates and host for host certificates.
-ca HASHChoose a non-default Certificate Authority configuration to construct the certificate request. If HASH is present on the command line, then grid-cert-request will use that certificate authority's configuration. Otherwise, it will prompt the user for a CA to choose from the list of configured CAs.
-nopwCreate a private key without a password. This may be a security risk if the file permissions of the private key are not carefully maintained.

Examples

Request a user certificate:

% grid-cert-request

A certificate request and private key is being created.
You will be asked to enter a PEM pass phrase.
This pass phrase is akin to your account password, 
and is used to protect your key file.

Creating a Proxy Certificate

Proxies are certificates signed by the user, or by another proxy, that do not require a password to submit a job. They are intended for short-term use, when the user is submitting many jobs and cannot be troubled to repeat his password for every job.

The subject of a proxy certificate is the same as the subject of the certificate that signed it, with /CN=proxy added to the name. The gatekeeper will accept any job requests submitted by the user, as well as any proxies he has created.

Proxies provide a convenient alternative to constantly entering passwords, but are also less secure than the user's normal security credential. Therefore, they should always be user-readable only, and should be deleted after they are no longer needed (or after they expire).

To create a proxy with the default expiration (12 hours), run the grid-proxy-init program. For example:

% grid-proxy-init 

The grid-proxy-init program can also take arguments to specify the expiration and proxy key length. For example:

% grid-proxy-init -hours 8 -bits 512

CAS Query Commands


The CAS Query commands do not alter the state of the database and any CAS user who has cas/query permissions may use the commands to retrieve data from the CAS server.

The following queries can be run against the CAS server. These are typically used by CAS clients (who may not be administrators).

The user need cas/query permissions to perform these operations—that is, the user must have permission to query on the cas server object.

Table of Contents

cas-whoami - Getting a user's CAS identity.
cas-list-object - Getting object list
cas-get-object - Getting CAS object
cas-group-list-entries - Getting group members
cas-find-policies - Getting policy information

If none of the above are set, host authorization is done by default and the expected server credential is cas/<fqdn>, where <fqdn> is the fully qualified domain name of the host on which the CAS service is up.

[Note]Note

If the service being contacted is using GSI Secure Transport , then the container credentials configured for the service will be used, even if service/resource level credentials are configured. Hence authorization needs to be done based on the DN of the container credentials.

Alternatively, an environment variable can be set as shown here.

If none of the above are set, host authorization is done by default and the expected server credential is cas/<fqdn>, where <fqdn> is the fully qualified domain name of the host on which the CAS service is up.

[Note]Note

If the service being contacted is using GSI Secure Transport , then the container credentials configured for the service will be used, even if service/resource level credentials are configured. Hence authorization needs to be done based on the DN of the container credentials.

Usage

The following gets the assertion from the CAS server, generates a proxy with the assertion and writes it out to "casProxy".

cas-proxy-init -p casProxy

Requesting specific permissions from the CAS server

It is possible to request specific permissions from the CAS server using the -f option. This option causes cas-proxy-init to read a set of requested rights from a file.

This file should contain one or more resource identifiers:

Resource: ResourceNamespace|ResourceName 

For each resource, there should be one or more action identifiers:

serviceType action

For example, if the client needed assertions for "file/read" service/action (permission) on two resources ("ftp://sample1.org" and "ftp://sample3.org", both in "FTPNamespace") but "directory/read" and "directory/write" permissions on the former resource only, the policy file should have the following entries:

Resource: FTPNamespace|ftp://sample1.org
      
      file read
      
      directory read
      
      directory write
      
      Resource: FTPNamespace|ftp://sample3.org
      
      file read

To indicate any resource, the following wildcard notation should be used:

uri:samlResourceWildcard

To indicate any action, the following wildcard notation for serviceType and action should be used. Note that this should be the first (and clearly the only action) in the list of actions specified. All other actions in the list are ignored and if it is not the first, it is not treated as a wildcard.

uri:samlActionNSWildcard uri:samlActionWildcard

For example, if the client needs assertions for all resources and all actions, the policy file should look like:

Resource: uri:samlResourceWildcard
        
        uri:samlActionNSWildcard uri:samlActionWildcard

If the client needs assertions for all actions on resource "FTPNamespace|ftp://sample1.org", the policy file should be as follows:

Resource: FTPNamespace|ftp://sample1.org
        
        uri:samlActionNSWildcard uri:samlActionWildcard

cas-enroll — Enroll a CAS Object

Synopsis

cas-enroll [common options] trustAnchor userGpName nickname authMethod authData
cas-enroll [common options] namespace userGpName nickname basename comparisonAlg
cas-enroll [common options] object userGpName objectName namespaceNick
cas-enroll [common options] serviceType userGpName serviceTypeName

Tool description

This command line client is used to enroll a CAS Object, which includes trust anchors, namespaces, objects and service types.

Enrolling Trust Anchors

To enroll a trust anchor, the user must have cas/enroll_trustAnchor permission on that CAS server object (that is, the user must have permission to perform the enroll_trustAnchor action on the CAS service type).

The enroll operation allows the user to choose a user group to which cas/grantAll permission on the enrolled object should be granted. The nickname should be unique across the CAS database and is used to refer to this trust anchor.

To enroll trust anchors:

casAdmin$ cas-enroll [common options] trustAnchor userGpName nickname authMethod authData

where:

userGpName
Indicates the user group to which cas/grantAll permission should be granted on this trust anchor entity.
nickname
Indicates the trust anchor nickname.
authMethod
Indicates the authentication method used by the trust anchor.
authData
Indicates the data used for authentication, typically the DN.

Enrolling Namespaces

To enroll a namespace, the user must have cas/enroll_namespace permission (that is, the user must have permission to perform the enroll_namespace action on the cas service type).

The enroll operation allows the user to choose a userGroup to have cas/grantAll permission on the enrolled object. The comparison algorithm specified should be the name of the Comparison class that needs to be used to compare objects that belong to this namespace. The nickname should be unique across the CAS database and is used to refer to this user.

Also, two namespaces are added to the CAS database at boot up time, other than the inherent CAS Namespace:

  • FTPDirectoryTree uses the WildCardComparison Algorithm and has the base URL set to the current directory.
  • FTPExact uses the ExactComparison Algorithm and has the base URL set to the current directory.

To enroll namespaces:

casAdmin$ cas-enroll [common options] namespace userGpName nickname basename comparisonAlg

where:

userGpName
Indicates the user group to which cas/grantAll permission should be granted on this trust anchor entity.
nickname

Indicates the nickname of the namespace to be unenrolled.

If the trust anchor nickname specified does not exist, an error is not thrown. If the unenroll operation is successful, all policy data on that trust anchor is purged.

basename
Indicates the base URL for the namespace.
comparisonAlg

Indicates the comparison algorithm to be used. Unless the standard comparison algorithms described below are used, the fully qualified name of the class that needs to be used should be given. The class needs to extend from the abstract class org.globus.cas.impl.service.ObjectComparison.

The two comparison classes provided as a part of the distribution are:

  • ExactComparison: This class does a case-sensitive exact comparison of the object names. If comparisonAlg in the above method is set to ExactComparison, the class in the distribution is loaded and used.
  • WildcardComparison: This class does wild card matching as described in CAS Simple Policy Language. It assumes that the wild card character is "*" and that the file separator is "/". If comparisonAlg in the above method is set to WildCardComparison, the class in the distribution is loaded and used.

Enrolling Objects

To enroll an object, the user must have cas/enroll_object permission (that is, the use must have permission to perform the enroll_object action on the cas service type).

The enroll operation allows the user to choose a userGroup to have cas/grantAll permission on the enrolled object. The name of the object and the namespace this object belongs to identify an object in the database and should be unique across the CAS database.

To enroll objects:

casAdmin$ cas-enroll [common options] object userGpName objectName namespaceNick

where:

userGpName
Indicates the user group to which cas/grantAll permission should be granted on this trust anchor entity.
objectName
Indicates the name of the object.
namespaceNick
Indicates the nickname of the namespace to which this object belongs.

Enrolling Service Types

To enroll a service type, the user must have cas/enroll_serviceType permission (that is, the user must have permission to perform the enroll_serviceType action on the cas service type).

The enroll operation allows the user to choose a userGroup to have cas/grantAll permission on the enrolled service type. The service type name should be unique across the CAS database.

To enroll service types:

casAdmin$ cas-enroll [common options] serviceType userGpName serviceTypeName

where:

userGpName
Indicates the user group to which cas/grantAll permission should be granted on this trust anchor entity.
serviceTypeName
Indicates the service type name.

userGpName
Indicates the user group to which cas/grantAll permission should be granted on this trust anchor entity.
groupName
Indicates the name of the user group being created.

Deleting user groups

To delete a user group, the user must have cas/delete_user_group entry permission on that user group. The group must be empty and also must not be referenced from other entities in the database (for example, it should not be a member of some object group).

If the user group specified does not exist, an error is not thrown. If the delete operation is successful, all policy data on that user group is purged.

casAdmin$ cas-group-admin [common options] user delete groupName

where:

groupName
Indicates the name of the user group to be deleted.

Creating An Object Group

To create a new object group, the user must have cas/create_object_group permission (that is, the user must have permission to perform the create_object_group action on the CAS service type). The object group name should be unique across the CAS database. The create operation allows the user to choose a user group to have cas/grantAll permission on the created object group.

where:

userGpName
Indicates the user group to which cas/grantAll permission should be granted on this object group.
groupName
Indicates the object group name.

Deleting An Object Group

To delete an object group, the user must have cas/delete_user_group entry permission on that object group. The group must be empty.

If the object group specified does not exist, an error is not thrown. If the delete operation is successful, all policy data on that object group is purged.

casAdmin$ cas-group-admin [common options] object delete groupName

where:

groupName
The name of the object group to be deleted.

Creating A Service/Action Group

To create a new service/action group, the user must have cas/create_serviceAction_group permission (that is, the user must have permission to perform the create_serviceAction_group action on the CAS service type). The serviceAction group name should be unique across the CAS database. The create operation allows the user to choose a user group to have cas/grantAll permission on the created serviceAction group.

casAdmin$ cas-group-admin [common options] serviceAction create userGpName groupName

where:

userGpName
Indicates the user group to which cas/grantAll permission should be granted on this service/action group.
groupName
Indicates the name of the service/action group being created.

Deleting A Service/Action Group

To delete a service/action group, the user must have cas/delete_user_group entry permission on that service/action group. The group must be empty and also must not be referenced from any other entity in the database. For example, it should not be a member of some object group.

If the service/action group specified does not exist, an error is not thrown. If the delete operation is successful, all policy data on that service/action group is purged.

casAdmin$ cas-group-admin [common options] serviceAction delete groupName

where:

groupName
Indicates the name of the service/action group to be deleted.

Options

Important

If you have an asterisk (*) in your command, you might need to escape it with a backslash ( \ ).

-a, --anonymous

Enables anonymous authentication. Only supported with transport security or the GSI Secure Conversation authentication mechanism.

-c, --serverCertificate <file>

Specifies the server's certificate file used for encryption. Only needed for the GSI Secure Message authentication mechanism.

-debug

Runs the client with debug message traces and error stack traces.

-f, --descriptor <file>

Specifies a client security descriptor. Overrides all other security settings.

-help

Prints the usage message for the client.

-l, --contextLifetime <value>

Sets the lifetime of the client security context. value is in milliseconds. Only supported with the GSI Secure Conversation authentication mechanism.

-m, --securityMech <type>

Specifies the authentication mechanism. The value type can be:

  • msg for GSI Secure Message, or

  • conv for GSI Secure Conversation.

-p, --protection <type>

Specifies the protection level. type can be:

  • sig for signature, or

  • enc for encryption.

-s cas-url

Sets the CAS Service instance, where cas-url is the URL of the CAS service instance. Alternatively, an environment variable can be set as shown here.

The instance URL typically looks like http://Host:Port/wsrf/services/CASService, where Host and Port are the host and port where the container with the CAS service is running.

-v

Prints the version number.

-x, --proxyFilename <value>

Sets the proxy file to use as client credential.

-z authorization

Specifies the type of authorization used, such as self or host.

If you cannot use a standard method for authorization, you can use the specific CAS server's identity as the value.

Alternatively, an environment variable can be set as shown here.

If none of the above are set, host authorization is done by default and the expected server credential is cas/<fqdn>, where <fqdn> is the fully qualified domain name of the host on which the CAS service is up.

[Note]Note

If the service being contacted is using GSI Secure Transport , then the container credentials configured for the service will be used, even if service/resource level credentials are configured. Hence authorization needs to be done based on the DN of the container credentials.
