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.

Command syntax

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

where:

Table 47. cas-enroll options

userGpName

The user group to which cas/grantAll permission should be granted on this trust anchor entity.

nickname

The trust anchor nickname.

authMethod

The authentication method used by the trust anchor.

authData

Data used for authentication, typically the DN.

Common options

The following options are common to all CAS command-line tools

-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

Debug: To run the client with debug message traces and error stack traces, the -debug flag must be used.

-f, --descriptor <file>

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

-help

Usage: The -help flag 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. 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.

-x, --proxyFilename <value>

Sets the proxy file to use as client credential.

-s cas-url

CAS Service URL: This option can be used to set 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.

-z authorization

CAS Service Identity: This option can be used to set the expected CAS server identity, where server-identity is the identity of the CAS service. Alternatively, an environment variable can be set as shown here. If neither is set, host authorization is done 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
	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.

-v

Version number: The -v flag prints the version number.

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