myproxy-info(1)

💖 myproxy-info(1) — the MyProxy era 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the MyProxy manual set, section 1, and it's literally called myproxy-info. yeah. it does what it says on the tin and it ate. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

myproxy-info — display information about MyProxy credentials

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

myproxy-info [ options ]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the myproxy-info command shows you the tea about a user's credentials that were already stored on a myproxy-server(8) using myproxy-init(1). no cap. 💅

and bestie, listen — you must have a valid proxy credential when you run this, like the kind generated by grid-proxy-init or the kind you get back from myproxy-logon(1). no proxy, no info. that's the vibe check. ✨

here's the important part though, don't skip this: myproxy-info only gives you info for credentials stored in the myproxy-server(8) credential repository using myproxy-init(1). that's it. so if your myproxy-server(8) is acting as a Certificate Authority and issuing end entity credentials via the myproxy-logon(1) command, then myproxy-info will just hit you with "no credentials found". 😭 it's giving "nothing in the group chat." periodt.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h, --help — Displays command usage text and exits. iconic, the classic cry for help.
• -u, --usage — Displays command usage text and exits. same energy, different flag. 🫶
• -v, --verbose — Enables verbose debugging output to the terminal. she's chatty and we love her for it.
• -V, --version — Displays version information and exits. identity reveal ✨
• -s hostname[:port], --pshost hostname[:port] — Specifies the hostname(s) of the myproxy-server(s). Multiple hostnames, each hostname optionally followed by a ':' and port number, may be specified in a comma-separated list. This option is required if the MYPROXY_SERVER environment variable is not defined. If specified, this option overrides the MYPROXY_SERVER environment variable. If a port number is specified with a hostname, it will override the -p option as well as the MYPROXY_SERVER_PORT environment variable for that host. so she's bossy, she overrides everybody, queen behavior. 👑
• -p port, --psport port — Specifies the TCP port number of the myproxy-server(8). Default: 7512
• -l username, --username username — Specifies the MyProxy account to query. By default, the command uses the value of the LOGNAME environment variable. Use this option to specify a different account username on the MyProxy server. The MyProxy username need not correspond to a real Unix username. fake identity? she supports it. 🧚
• -d, --dn_as_username — Use the certificate subject (DN) as the default username, instead of the LOGNAME environment variable.
• -k name, --credname name — Specifies name of the credential to query. If not specified, the command displays all credentials associated with the MyProxy username. all of them. the whole friend group. 🌈

⭐ EXIT STATUS ⭐

0 on success, >0 on error

🍓 ENVIRONMENT 🍓

• GLOBUS_GSSAPI_NAME_COMPATIBILITY — This client will, by default, perform a reverse-DNS lookup to determine the FQHN (Fully Qualified Host Name) to use in verifying the identity of the server by checking the FQHN against the CN in server's certificate. Setting this variable to STRICT_RFC2818 will cause the reverse-DNS lookup to NOT be performed and the user-specified name to be used instead. This variable setting will be ignored if MYPROXY_SERVER_DN (described later) is set. so like, she's flexible until MYPROXY_SERVER_DN walks in and then she's literally not. 💀
• MYPROXY_SERVER — Specifies the hostname(s) where the myproxy-server(8) is running. Multiple hostnames can be specified in a comma separated list with each hostname optionally followed by a ':' and port number. This environment variable can be used in place of the -s option.
• MYPROXY_SERVER_PORT — Specifies the port where the myproxy-server(8) is running. This environment variable can be used in place of the -p option.
• MYPROXY_SERVER_DN — Specifies the distinguished name (DN) of the myproxy-server(8). All MyProxy client programs authenticate the server's identity. By default, MyProxy servers run with host credentials, so the MyProxy client programs expect the server to have a distinguished name with "/CN=host/<fqhn>" or "/CN=myproxy/<fqhn>" or "/CN=<fqhn>" (where <fqhn> is the fully-qualified hostname of the server). If the server is running with some other DN, you can set this environment variable to tell the MyProxy clients to accept the alternative DN. Also see GLOBUS_GSSAPI_NAME_COMPATIBILITY above. bestie she's the one who shows up and changes everything, iykyk. 🔥
• MYPROXY_TCP_PORT_RANGE — Specifies a range of valid port numbers in the form "min,max" for the client side of the network connection to the server. By default, the client will bind to any available port. Use this environment variable to restrict the ports used to a range allowed by your firewall. If unset, MyProxy will follow the setting of the GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE environment variable. firewall-friendly queen. 💜
• X509_USER_CERT — Specifies a non-standard location for the certificate to be used for authentication to the myproxy-server(8).
• X509_USER_KEY — Specifies a non-standard location for the private key to be used for authentication to the myproxy-server(8).
• X509_USER_PROXY — Specifies a non-standard location for the proxy credential to be used for authentication to the myproxy-server(8).
• X509_CERT_DIR — Specifies a non-standard location for the CA certificates directory.
