NAME

acledit - Manage Torrus access control lists (ACLs).

SYNOPSIS

torrus acledit [options...]

DESCRIPTION

This command manages the Torrus access control lists. Each user is identified by user ID, and has a set of attributes. Currently supported attributes are "cn" (common name) and "userPasswordMD5" (MD5 digest of the user's password). Each user belongs to one or several groups. Each group has its own set of privileges. A privilege is identified by privilege name and object name. Currently only one privilege name is supported: "DisplayTree", and the object name is the name of the tree that this group is allowed to browse. User authorization in the web interface is controlled by the $Torrus::CGI::authorizeUsers variable in torrus-siteconfig.pl.

GROUP MANAGEMENT OPTIONS

--addgroup=GROUP Creates a new group with the given name. --delgroup=GROUP Deletes the group with the given name. --modgroup=GROUP Modifies the given group. --permit=PRIVILEGE Grants privilege to group(s). Currently supported privileges are: "DisplayTree" for displaying a datasource tree, and "DisplayAdmInfo" for displaying the administrative information (all significant parameters for a given datasource leaf). --deny=PRIVILEGE Revokes group(s) privilege. --for=OBJECT Object for which privileges are granted or revoked. Currently it must be the name of the tree for which the "DisplayTree" and "DisplayAdmInfo" privilegs are granted or revoked. The asterisk (*) instead of the object name assigns the privilege for all objects.

USER MANAGEMENT OPTIONS

--adduser=UID Creates a new user with the given user ID. --addhost=HOST Creates a new user for host-based authentication. HOST should be an IPv4 or IPv6 address of the HTTP client. The new username is the address with all non-alphanumeric characters replaced with underscores. Host password is changed by <--hostpassword> option. --deluser=UID Deletes user with the given user ID. --moduser=UID Modifies the user attributes for the given user ID. --addtogroup=GROUP Adds user to the given group. --delfromgroup=GROUP Deletes user from the given group. --password=PASSWORD Sets user's password. --hostpassword=PASSWORD Sets the password for host-based authentication. The HTTP client should add "hostauth" parameter with the password as a value. --cn=NAME Sets user's common name. --showuser=UID Displays information for a given user.

GENERAL OPTIONS

--export=FILE Exports ACL configuration to a given file. --template=FILE Uses the given template file when exporting. Default value is aclexport.xml. --import=FILE Imports ACL configuration from the given file. --clear Deletes all user and privileges configuration. --list Lists all users and groups they belong to. --debug Sets the log level to debug. --verbose Sets the log level to info. --help Displays a help message.

EXAMPLES

The next command creates a user jsmith and addts it to this group. The user name will be displayed as John Smith, and it will be let in with the given password. The third command creates a group admin which is allowed o browse all existing trees.
