Description

Adds entries to the application server password cache.

Option Description
--person pobj Specifies the TFN name of the person object to create a password cache entry for.
--anon Creates a password cache entry for anonymous users.
--ldap Creates a password cache entry for LDAP integration. This special entry is only used with the LDAP login authority. This is the username and password for the LDAP directory server that you can enter on the Tarantella Login panel of Array Manager.

Use a full username such as cn=Bill Orange,cn=Users,dc=indigo-insurance,dc=com.

If you specify --ldap, the --resource option is ignored.

--resource resource Specifies the application server or Microsoft Windows NT domain the password cache entry applies to. For resource, you use a TFN name. This can be:
  • A host object, for example ".../_ens/o=Indigo Insurance/cn=paris".
  • A DNS name, for example ".../_dns/paris.indigo-insurance.com".
  • A Windows NT domain, for example ".../_wns/indigo.dom".
  • ".../_array" to mean the array. This is used when caching the password used to log in to Tarantella.
--resuser resuser Identifies the username appropriate to the resource. Set this to the text the user would type in the authentication box for this resource.
--respass respass Specifies the password associated with resuser.

If you omit this option, you are prompted for the password.

--file file Specifies a file containing entries to add to the password cache.

Note Make sure you quote any object names containing spaces, for example ".../_ens/o=Indigo Insurance".
