NAME

       isnssetup - a simple script to bootstrap an iSNS server, including security

SYNOPSIS

       isnssetup

DESCRIPTION

       isnssetup  is a command line utility for for bootstrapping your iSNS installation. It sets
       up the authentication  credentials,  sets  up  the  ServerAddress  to  be  localhost,  and
       registers  the appropriate values in the iSNS database. The isnssetup script does not take
       any options.

       Running this script performs the following steps:

       •      Set  ServerAddress  to  localhost  and  Security  to  1  for   isnsadmin.conf   and
              isnsdd.conf.

       •      Initialize  security  files  by running isnsd --init, copying the public key to the
              server key, then restarting the isnsd daemon, so that it sees the new authorization
              files.

       •      Registering   the  control  node  policy,  the  control  node  itself,  and  lastly
              registering the server policy.

       Note that this script is supplied as an example, although you should be  able  to  use  it
       directly if you wish. You have to be root to run this script successfully.

BUGS

       This  script does not take systemd into account, so you may have to modify it to get it to
       work on a modern system.
