NAME

       dacs_sts - Secure Token Service for managed Information Cards

SYNOPSIS

       dacs_sts [dacsoptions[1]]

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of the DACS suite.

       The dacs_sts web service is the Secure Token Service for DACS's managed Information Cards.

       Refer to dacs_managed_infocard(8)[2] for additional information.

           Security
           Depending on the application, consider adding a custom access control rule for
           dacs_sts (e.g., to limit access to a particular host or subnet, or even certain
           identities).

   Configuration
       The following configuration variables are available:

       infocard_sts_password
           For managed InfoCards generated with a INFOCARD_STS_AUTH_TYPE[3] of "passwd" and an
           INFOCARD_STS_PASSWORD_METHOD[4] of "sts", this is the global user password that must
           be provided. Changing this password affects all managed InfoCard accounts.

OPTIONS

   Web Service Arguments
       None.

DIAGNOSTICS

       The program exits 0 if everything was fine, 1 if an error occurred.

BUGS

       Secure token replay detection is not yet implemented.

       As this is a relatively new and complicated feature, please test carefully.
