NAME
dacs_conf - display DACS configuration directives
SYNOPSIS
dacs_conf [dacsoptions[1]]
DESCRIPTION
This program is part of the DACS suite. The dacs_conf web service processes and displays DACS configuration files (see dacs.conf(5)[2]). If XML output is selected, a document conforming to dacs_conf_reply.dtd[3] is returned. Although the order in which clauses appear in configuration files can be important, the order of configuration directives is for the most part not significant. The exception is the EVAL[4] directive. These directives are listed in the order in which they would be evaluated, and their unevaluated values appear in the output. Note This program is also available as a DACS utility, dacsconf(1)[5]. Because dacs_admin(8)[6] provides the same functionality and more, dacs_conf may be removed in a future release. Security Because the configuration might reveal information that could be taken advantage of by an attacker, only the DACS administrator should be able to run this command. Accordingly, a DACS ACL restricts use of this web service to a DACS administrator.
OPTIONS
Web Service Arguments In addition to the standard CGI arguments[7], dacs_conf understands the following CGI arguments: DIRECTIVE This optional, repeatable argument is a comma-separated list of directive names or variable references to be displayed. This is similar to the directive-name arguments to dacsconf(1)[5]. An example of a directive name is JURISDICTION_NAME. An example of a variable reference is ${Conf::jurisdiction_name:i}. VARS If the value of this optional argument is "yes", the effect on output formatting is the same as when the -vars flag is give to dacsconf(1)[5]. The default value is "no".
FILES
conf.css[8]
