IONSECADMIN(1)

💖 IONSECADMIN(1) — the ionsecadmin glow-up 💖

okay bestie, welcome to ionsecadmin, straight out of the ICI executables collection. she's the security policy administration interface and she is that girl. let's get into it ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

ionsecadmin — the ION security policy administration interface 🛡️💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ionsecadmin [ commands_filename ]

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically, ionsecadmin configures and manages the ION security policy database on the local computer. that's her whole thing. local computer only, no cap. 🫶

she does all that configuring and managing in response to ION configuration commands that she finds inside commands_filename, if you actually gave her one. and if you didn't? no worries babe, she just prints a simple little prompt — literally just : — so you can type commands directly into standard input. interactive mode era. 💬

wanna know the format of the commands for commands_filename? iconic question. you can query it straight from ionsecadmin by entering the command h or ? at the prompt. the commands themselves are all documented in ionsecrc(5), so go read that too. 📖✨

---

✨ EXIT STATUS ✨

• "0" — successful completion of ION security policy administration. she ate and left no crumbs. 👑

---

✨ EXAMPLES ✨

1. ``` ionsecadmin

enter interactive ION security policy administration command entry mode. just you, the prompt, and the `:` vibes. 💬

2. ```
ionsecadmin host1.ionsecrc

execute all configuration commands in host1.ionsecrc, then terminate immediately. no small talk, no lingering. she's got main character efficiency. 🚀

---

✨ 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. that log file is typically named ion.log. 📝

see also ionsecrc(5). 🫶

---

✨ ENVIRONMENT ✨

no environment variables apply. absolutely none. empty. clean. minimal. she doesn't need them. 💀✨

---

✨ 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. fr fr, do the conversion. 😭

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. she looked. it wasn't there. 🙈

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. 🔍
