-Description
-===========
-
-**ceph-authtool** is a utility to create, view, and modify a Ceph keyring
-file. A keyring file stores one or more Ceph authentication keys and
-possibly an associated capability specification. Each key is
-associated with an entity name, of the form
-``{client,mon,mds,osd}.name``.
-
-**WARNING** Ceph provides authentication and protection against
-man-in-the-middle attacks once secret keys are in place. However,
-data over the wire is not encrypted, which may include the messages
-used to configure said keys. The system is primarily intended to be
-used in trusted environments.
-
-Options
-=======
-
-.. option:: -l, --list
-
- will list all keys and capabilities present in the keyring
-
-.. option:: -p, --print-key
-
- will print an encoded key for the specified entityname. This is
- suitable for the ``mount -o secret=`` argument
-
-.. option:: -C, --create-keyring
-
- will create a new keyring, overwriting any existing keyringfile
-
-.. option:: -g, --gen-key
-
- will generate a new secret key for the specified entityname
-
-.. option:: --gen-print-key
-
- will generate a new secret key for the specified entityname,
- without altering the keyringfile, printing the secret to stdout
-
-.. option:: --import-keyring *secondkeyringfile*
-
- will import the content of a given keyring to the keyringfile
-
-.. option:: -n, --name *name*
-
- specify entityname to operate on
-
-.. option:: -u, --set-uid *auid*
-
- sets the auid (authenticated user id) for the specified entityname
-
-.. option:: -a, --add-key *base64_key*
-
- will add an encoded key to the keyring
-
-.. option:: --cap *subsystem* *capability*
-
- will set the capability for given subsystem
-
-.. option:: --caps *capsfile*
-
- will set all of capabilities associated with a given key, for all subsystems
-
-
-Capabilities
-============
-
-The subsystem is the name of a Ceph subsystem: ``mon``, ``mds``, or
-``osd``.
-
-The capability is a string describing what the given user is allowed
-to do. This takes the form of a comma separated list of allow
-clauses with a permission specifier containing one or more of rwx for
-read, write, and execute permission. The ``allow *`` grants full
-superuser permissions for the given subsystem.
-
-For example::
-
- # can read, write, and execute objects
- osd = "allow rwx"
-
- # can access mds server
- mds = "allow"
-
- # can modify cluster state (i.e., is a server daemon)
- mon = "allow rwx"
-
-A librados user restricted to a single pool might look like::
-
- mon = "allow r"
-
- osd = "allow rw pool foo"
-
-A client using rbd with read access to one pool and read/write access to another::
-
- mon = "allow r"
-
- osd = "allow class-read object_prefix rbd_children, allow pool templates r class-read, allow pool vms rwx"
-
-A client mounting the file system with minimal permissions would need caps like::
-
- mds = "allow"
-
- osd = "allow rw pool data"
-
- mon = "allow r"
-
-
-OSD Capabilities
-================
-
-In general, an osd capability follows the grammar::
-
- osdcap := grant[,grant...]
- grant := allow (match capspec | capspec match)
- match := [pool[=]<poolname> | object_prefix <prefix>]
- capspec := * | [r][w][x] [class-read] [class-write]
-
-The capspec determines what kind of operations the entity can perform::
-
- r = read access to objects
- w = write access to objects
- x = can call any class method (same as class-read class-write)
- class-read = can call class methods that are reads
- class-write = can call class methods that are writes
- * = equivalent to rwx, plus the ability to run osd admin commands,
- i.e. ceph osd tell ...
-
-The match criteria restrict a grant based on the pool being accessed.
-Grants are additive if the client fulfills the match condition. For
-example, if a client has the osd capabilities: "allow r object_prefix
-prefix, allow w pool foo, allow x pool bar", then it has rw access to
-pool foo, rx access to pool bar, and r access to objects whose
-names begin with 'prefix' in any pool.
-
-Caps file format
-================
-
-The caps file format consists of zero or more key/value pairs, one per
-line. The key and value are separated by an ``=``, and the value must
-be quoted (with ``'`` or ``"``) if it contains any whitespace. The key
-is the name of the Ceph subsystem (``osd``, ``mds``, ``mon``), and the
-value is the capability string (see above).
-
-
-Example
-=======
-
-To create a new keyring containing a key for client.foo::
-
- ceph-authtool -C -n client.foo --gen-key keyring
-
-To associate some capabilities with the key (namely, the ability to
-mount a Ceph filesystem)::
-
- ceph-authtool -n client.foo --cap mds 'allow' --cap osd 'allow rw pool=data' --cap mon 'allow r' keyring
-
-To display the contents of the keyring::
-
- ceph-authtool -l keyring
-
-When mounting a Ceph file system, you can grab the appropriately encoded secret key with::
-
- mount -t ceph serverhost:/ mountpoint -o name=foo,secret=`ceph-authtool -p -n client.foo keyring`
-
-
-Availability
-============
-
-**ceph-authtool** is part of Ceph, a massively scalable, open-source, distributed storage system. Please
-refer to the Ceph documentation at http://ceph.com/docs for more
-information.
