NAME

       dacsinfocard - manage InfoCard accounts

SYNOPSIS

       dacsinfocard [dacsoptions[1]]

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of the DACS suite.

       The dacsinfocard command manages accounts that are used by the local_infocard_authenticate[2]
       authentication module. This utility serves a similar purpose for these authentication modules that the
       dacspasswd(1)[3] command does for its local_passwd_authenticate[4] module.

       Apart from their use by local_infocard_authenticate, these accounts are completely separate from any
       other accounts.

           Security

           The digest algorithm used depends on the INFOCARD_DIGEST[5] directive in effect.

           Plaintext PPIDs are not stored. This makes it more difficult for an attacker that gains access to the
           InfoCard account file to discover PPIDs.

           Only a DACS administrator should be able to successfully run this program from the command line.
           Because DACS keys and configuration files, including the file used to store accounts, must be
           restricted to an administrator, this will normally be the case, but a careful administrator will set
           file permissions to deny access to all other users. An ordinary user is able to change his own
           InfoCard registration using the dacs_infocard(8)[6] web service.

       This program is also available as a DACS web service, dacs_infocard(8)[6].

OPTIONS

       The dacsinfocard command recognizes these command line flags:

EXAMPLES

       To list all of the InfoCard accounts configured for the jurisdiction named INFOCARDS:

           % dacsinfocard -uj INFOCARDS -list
           DSS::INFOCARDS:bob managed,istatic,enabled,passwd
           DSS::INFOCARDS:alice managed,istatic,disabled,passwd

       To re-enable the alice account:

           % dacsinfocard -uj INFOCARDS -ena alice

       To test if alice's account is enabled:

           % dacsinfocard -uj INFOCARDS -test ena alice
           % echo $status
           0

       To test if there are accounts for usernames bob and carol:

           % dacsinfocard -uj INFOCARDS -test exists carol
           % echo $status
           0
           % dacsinfocard -uj INFOCARDS -test exists bob
           % echo $status
           1

       To get the private data for username bob:

           % set x=`dacsinfocard -uj INFOCARDS -pdg bob`
           % echo "$x"
           On vacation

DIAGNOSTICS

       The program exits 0 if everything was fine, and non-zero otherwise. A "false" outcome from the -test
       operation is reflected by an exit status of 1. An error condition is indicated by an exit status of 2.

BUGS

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