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.
