NAME

       ionsecadmin - ION security policy administration interface

SYNOPSIS

       ionsecadmin [ commands_filename ]

DESCRIPTION

       ionsecadmin configures and manages the ION security policy database on the local computer.

       It configures and manages the ION security policy database on the local computer in
       response to ION configuration commands found in commands_filename, if provided; if not,
       ionsecadmin prints a simple prompt (:) so that the user may type commands directly into
       standard input.

       The format of commands for commands_filename can be queried from ionsecadmin by entering
       the command 'h' or '?' at the prompt.  The commands are documented in ionsecrc(5).

EXIT STATUS

       "0" Successful completion of ION security policy administration.

EXAMPLES

       ionsecadmin
           Enter interactive ION security policy administration command entry mode.

       ionsecadmin host1.ionsecrc
           Execute all configuration commands in host1.ionsecrc, then terminate immediately.

FILES

       Status and diagnostic messages from ionsecadmin and from other software that utilizes the
       ION node are nominally written to a log file in the current working directory within which
       ionsecadmin was run.  The log file is typically named ion.log.

       See also ionsecrc(5).

ENVIRONMENT

       No environment variables apply.

DIAGNOSTICS

       Note: all ION administration utilities expect source file input to be lines of ASCII text
       that are NL-delimited.  If you edit the ionrc file on a Windows machine, be sure to use
       dos2unix to convert it to Unix text format before presenting it to ionsecadmin.  Otherwise
       ionsecadmin will detect syntax errors and will not function satisfactorily.

       The following diagnostics may be issued to the log file:

       Can't open command file...
           The commands_filename specified in the command line doesn't exist.

       Various errors that don't cause ionsecadmin to fail but are noted in the log file may be
       caused by improperly formatted commands given at the prompt or in the commands_filename.
       Please see ionsecrc(5) for details.
