The administrative command-line interface

You can use the administrative nevisAuth command-line interface to create and manage instances of nevisAuth. The command-line interface consists of the following commands:

usage:
 nevisauth # get this usage

 nevisauth start # start nevisauth server
 nevisauth stop # shutdown nevisauth server
 nevisauth restart # shutdown and start nevisauth server
 nevisauth status # show state of nevisauth server
 nevisauth test # check, if server is running

 nevisauth config # edit component configuration
 nevisauth config env # edit additional environment parameters
 nevisauth config vmargs # edit JVM startup arguments
 nevisauth config isi|orb|log # edit ISI subsystem parameters (comm, tracing)
 nevisauth config bc # edit base component setup (security)
 nevisauth config export <tarfile> # export configurations in <tarfile>
 nevisauth config import <tarfile> # import configurations from <tarfile>
 nevisauth config backup list # list available backups
 nevisauth config backup # backup actual configurations
 nevisauth config backup remove <stamp> # remove specified backup
 nevisauth config restore # restore last or specified backup

 nevisauth log # display list of logfiles
 nevisauth log err # display errors in logfiles (default: all)
 nevisauth log show # display logfiles (default: all)
 nevisauth log tail # start tailing logfile (default: server)

 nevisauth signer # display PKI setup for this server
 nevisauth signer create # create certificate for this server
 nevisauth signer export # display the signers URL to import at verifier
 nevisauth signer delete # delete certificate of this server
 nevisauth encSecret # passphrase obfuscator for LDAP/ORA plugins

 nevisauth ior # generate some ISI IOR's
 nevisauth ior register # register IOR's in name service
 nevisauth ior unriegister # unregister IOR's from name service

 nevisauth analyse [all] # collect support info from servers and host

 nevisauth inst # list all instances
 nevisauth inst create <name> # create an instance
 nevisauth inst remove <name> # remove an instance
 nevisauth inst exists <name> # check for existing instance
 nevisauth handover # create default config/log area, start server
 nevisauth pkg # show installed package versions
 nevisauth pkg activate <version> # activate specified version of package

 [1] Optional: Specify 'help', 'try', 'force', a setup.conf file or a list of PARAM=value
  'nevisauth inst create test help' displays the required parameters

Instances An instance can be managed by adding the instance name between nevisauth and the actual command:

nevisauth instancename start

If no instance is explicitly specified, the command manages the default instance. See the chapter Deployment Types for more information about the available deployment types.
