System Administration Commands                          ickey(1M)



NAME
     ickey - install a client key for WAN boot

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/inet/wanboot/ickey [-d] [-o type=3des]


     /usr/lib/inet/wanboot/ickey [-d] [-o type=aes]


     /usr/lib/inet/wanboot/ickey [-d] [-o type=sha1]


DESCRIPTION
     The ickey command is used to install WAN boot keys on a run-
     ning  UNIX system so that they can be used the next time the
     system is installed. You can store three different types  of
     keys:  3DES and AES for encryption and an HMAC SHA-1 key for
     hashed verification.


     ickey   reads   the   key   from   standard   input    using
     getpassphrase(3C)  so that it does not appear on the command
     line. When installing keys on a remote system, you must take
     proper  precautions  to ensure that any keying materials are
     kept confidential. At  a  minimum,  use  ssh(1)  to  prevent
     interception of data in transit.


     Keys are expected to be presented as strings of  hexadecimal
     digits; they can (but need not) be preceeded by a 0x or 0X.


     The ickey command has a single option, described  below.  An
     argument of the type -o type=keytype is required.

OPTIONS
     The ickey command the following option.

     -d    Delete the key specified by the keytype argument.


EXIT STATUS
     On success, ickey exits with status 0; if a problem  occurs,
     a  diagnostic  message  is printed and ickey exits with non-
     zero status.
