NAME

myproxy-get-trustroots - fetch trustroots from a myproxy-server

SYNOPSIS

myproxy-get-trustroots [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

The myproxy-get-trustroots command retrieves the trusted certificates from the myproxy-server(8) and stores them in the location specified by the X509_CERT_DIR environment variable if set or /etc/grid-security/certificates if running as root or ~/.globus/certificates if running as non-root.

An example cron job for running myproxy-get-trustroots periodically to keep the X509_CERT_DIR up-to-date is provided at $GLOBUS_LOCATION/share/myproxy/myproxy-get-trustroots.cron.

OPTIONS

Unless this option is specified, then if the X509_CERT_DIR exists and the CA that signed the myproxy-server(8) certificate is not trusted, myproxy-get-trustroots will fail with an error, to protect against man-in-the-middle attacks. If, however, this option is specified, myproxy-get-trustroots will accept the CA to bootstrap trust.
Displays command usage text and exits.
Displays command usage text and exits.
Enables verbose debugging output to the terminal.
Displays version information and exits.
Specifies the hostname(s) of the myproxy-server(s). Multiple hostnames, each hostname optionally followed by a ':' and port number, may be specified in a comma-separated list. This option is required if the MYPROXY_SERVER environment variable is not defined. If specified, this option overrides the MYPROXY_SERVER environment variable. If a port number is specified with a hostname, it will override the -p option as well as the MYPROXY_SERVER_PORT environment variable for that host.
Specifies the TCP port number of the myproxy-server(8). Default: 7512
Only write output messages on error.

ENVIRONMENT

This client will, by default, perform a reverse-DNS lookup to determine the FQHN (Fully Qualified Host Name) to use in verifying the identity of the server by checking the FQHN against the CN in server's certificate. Setting this variable to STRICT_RFC2818 will cause the reverse-DNS lookup to NOT be performed and the user-specified name to be used instead. This variable setting will be ignored if MYPROXY_SERVER_DN (described later) is set.
Specifies the hostname(s) where the myproxy-server(8) is running. Multiple hostnames can be specified in a comma separated list with each hostname optionally followed by a ':' and port number. This environment variable can be used in place of the -s option.
Specifies the port where the myproxy-server(8) is running. This environment variable can be used in place of the -p option.
Specifies the distinguished name (DN) of the myproxy-server(8). All MyProxy client programs authenticate the server's identity. By default, MyProxy servers run with host credentials, so the MyProxy client programs expect the server to have a distinguished name with "/CN=host/<fqhn>" or "/CN=myproxy/<fqhn>" or "/CN=<fqhn>" (where <fqhn> is the fully-qualified hostname of the server). If the server is running with some other DN, you can set this environment variable to tell the MyProxy clients to accept the alternative DN. Also see GLOBUS_GSSAPI_NAME_COMPATIBILITY above.
Specifies a range of valid port numbers in the form "min,max" for the client side of the network connection to the server. By default, the client will bind to any available port. Use this environment variable to restrict the ports used to a range allowed by your firewall. If unset, MyProxy will follow the setting of the GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE environment variable.
Specifies a non-standard location for the certificate to be used for authentication to the myproxy-server(8).
Specifies a non-standard location for the private key to be used for authentication to the myproxy-server(8).
Specifies a non-standard location for the proxy credential to be used for authentication to the myproxy-server(8).
Specifies a non-standard location for the CA certificates directory.
