Purpose
Introduction to the dfsgw command suite used with the NFS/DFS Secure
Gateway
Options
The following options are used with many dfsgw commands. They are also
described with the commands that use them.
-id networkID:userID
Identifies an NFS client and the user whose DCE authentication from
that client is to be manipulated. Specify either the network address or
the hostname of the NFS client. Specify the user’s UNIX user
identification number (UID) rather than a username.
-dceid login_name[:password]
Specifies the DCE principal name and password of the user for whom
to create an entry in the authentication table.
-af address_family
Specifies the style of network address to use to identify hosts. By
default, the command uses the only address family currently
supported, inet (Internet).
-help Displays the online help for the command. All other valid options
specified with this option are ignored.
Description
The dfsgw command suite provides commands to manipulate entries in the
local authentication table on a Gateway Server machine. The table contains an
entry for each user who has DCE credentials on the Gateway Server machine.
Each entry maps the user’s UID and the network address of the NFS client for
which the user has DCE credentials to the user’s Process Activation Group
(PAG).
The dfsgw command suite includes the following commands:
dfsgw add
Obtains DCE credentials to provide a user with authenticated access
to DFS from a specified NFS client. The command adds an entry to
the authentication table.
dfsgw delete
Cancels a user’s authenticated access to DFS from a specified NFS
client by removing the user’s entry from the authentication table.
