NAME

       eurephia_init - Initialisation utility for the eurephia OpenVPN plug-in.

SYNOPSIS

       eurephia_init   [-V|--version]  [-h|--help]  [-l|--log  <filename>]  [-L|--log-level  <log
       level>]      [-N|--hash-threshold-min      <ms>]      [-M|--hash-threshold-max       <ms>]
       [-D|--database-driver <path>] [-d|--database-args <args>]

DESCRIPTION

       This  utility  is  only  supposed  to be used when installing eurephia.  The purpose is to
       initialise the database eurephia will use,  by  setting  up  some  standard  configuration
       values and create an administrator account

OPTIONS

       Arguments used by eurephia_init:

       -V | --version
              Show version information

       -h | --help
              This help screen

       -l | --log <filename>
              Log file for debugging

       -L | --log-level <log level>
              Sets the log level

       -N | --hash-threshold-min <ms> : Benchmarking parameter, see below. Default 95ms

       -M | --hash-threshold-max <ms> : Benchmarking parameter, see below. Default 200ms

       -D | --database-driver <full path>
              Full path to the database driver (Required)

       -d | --database-args <arguments>
              Required database arguments for the driver (Required)

BENCHMARKING

       During  the  initialisation  this  utility  will benchmark the CPU power by doing multiple
       SHA512 hash calculations.  This is to determinate the optimal rounds the  password  hashes
       should  use  on the current computer.  To make it more difficult to brute force passwords,
       eurephia implements dynamic password hash rounds, based on a random  number  within  in  a
       given  range.   This  benchmark will suggest an optimal range.  To do this, two limits are
       defined, the shortest time and the longest time to be used for calculating  a  hash.   The
       default values are 95ms and 200ms.

       If  you  want  to modify those thresholds, you can do so with the --hash-threshold-min and
       --hash-threshold-max options.  By increasing these numbers, you will allow the  number  of
       rounds to be increased.
