lgss_sk(8)

NAME
lgss_sk - Lustre GSS Shared-Key tool

SYNOPSIS
lgss_sk [OPTIONS] {-r|-w|-m|-l} <keyfile>

DESCRIPTION
lgss_sk can be used to read, write, modify, and load the contents of a shared-key keyfile.

OPTIONS
lgss_sk accepts the following options:

-l, --load <keyfile>
    Load key from file into user's session keyring.

-m, --modify <keyfile>
    Modify a file's key attributes.

-r, --read <keyfile>
    Show file's key attributes.

-w, --write <keyfile>
    Generate key file.

Modify/Write Options:

-c, --crypt <num>
    Cipher for encryption (Default: AES-256-CTR)
    AES-256-CTR

-i, --hmac <num>
    Hash algorithm for integrity (Default: SHA256)
    SHA256
    SHA512

-e, --expire <num>
    Seconds before session contexts generated from key expire and are regenerated (Default: 604800 seconds (7 days)).

-f, --fsname <name>
    File system name for key.

-g, --mgsnids <nids>
    Comma seperated list of MGS NIDs. Only required when mgssec is used (Default: "").

-n, --nodemap <name>
    Nodemap name for key (Default: "default").

-p, --prime-bits <len>
    Length of prime (p) in bits used for the DHKE (Default: 2048). This is generated only for client keys and can take a while to generate. For server and MGS keys this value also sets the minimum acceptable prime length from a client. If a client attempts to connect with a smaller prime it will reject the connection. In this way servers can "guarantee" the minimum encryption level acceptable.

-t, --type <type>
    The type is a mandatory parameter for writing a key and optional for modifying. Valid key types:
    mgs    - is used for the MGS where --mgssec is used
    server - for MDS or OSS servers
    client - For clients as well as servers who communicate with other servers in a
             client context (e.g. MDS communication with OSTs)

-k, --shared <len>
    Shared key length in bits (Default: 256).

-d, --data <file>
    Shared key entopy data source (default: /dev/random). It is possible to use /dev/urandom for testing, but this may provide less security in some cases. You may need to press keys on the keyboard or move the mouse (if directly attached to the system) or cause disk IO (if system is remote), in order to generate entropy for the key if there is not a hardware random number generator on the system.

Other Options:

-v, --verbose
    Increase verbosity for errors.

NOTES
The key file is generally the same for client and servers with a few exceptions:

    1. Types can differ
    2. Both have the prime length but only client keys will have the actual prime
       value populated.

Therefore a server or mgs key can be distributed to a client but the clients must change the type to generate a prime.

EXAMPLES
Create a key for file system tank for nodemap biology with type server. Once on the client the file should be modified to reflect that it is of type client and will also generate a prime for the key.

    [root@server ~]# lgss_sk -f tank -n biology -t server -w tank.server.biology.key
    [root@server ~]# scp tank.server.biology.key user@client:tank.client.biology.key
    [root@client ~]# lgss_sk -t client -m tank.client.biology.key

Add MGS NIDs to existing key:

    [root@server ~]# lgss_sk -g 192.168.1.101@tcp,10.10.0.101@o2ib \
    -m tank.server.biology.key
    [root@client ~]# lgss_sk -g 192.168.1.101@tcp,10.10.0.101@o2ib \
    -m tank.client.biology.key
