💅 ipa-nis-manage(1) — enabling/disabling the NIS listener plugin, bestie edition

manual name: ipa-nis-manage(1), and it’s serving IPA Manual Pages energy 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ipa-nis-manage — Enables or disables the NIS listener plugin. That’s the whole vibe 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ipa-nis-manage [options] <enable|disable|status>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so, bestie, run this command with the enable option to enable the NIS plugin. Slay ✨

Run it with the disable option to disable the NIS plugin. Also valid 💅

Run it with the status option to read the status of the NIS plugin. Return code 0 indicates an enabled plugin, and return code 4 indicates a disabled plugin. Iconic little status check 🌈

In all cases, the user will be prompted to provide the Directory Manager's password unless option -y is used. No cap, it will ask 🙈

⚠️ Directory Server will need to be restarted after the NIS listener plugin has been enabled. Like, actually restart it, bestie 💀

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -d, --debug — Enable debug logging when more verbose output is needed. For when you need the group chat to show receipts 📝
• -y file — File containing the Directory Manager password. Feed it the password file so you can skip the prompt 🔑

👑 EXIT STATUS 👑

• 0 — the command was successful ✅
• 1 — an error occurred 😭
• 2 — the plugin is already in the required status (enabled or disabled), so it’s giving “been there, done that” 💅
• 3 — RPC services cannot be enabled 💀
• 4 — the status command detected the plugin in a disabled state 🙈
