\chapter{Generalities}
\section{Getting the software}
Voms can be downloaded from the authoritative infnforge CVS at
http://infnforge.cnaf.infn.it, or the EGEE copy at
http://jra1mw.cvs.cern.ch:8180/cgi-bin/jra1mw.cgi/org.glite.security.voms
You can get the nightly rpms at
http://glite.web.cern.ch/glite/packages/. You may skip the next
chapter if you downloaded the RPM version.
\section{Compiling the source}
After having downloaded and installed the source, go to the
\texttt{voms/} subdirectory and run \texttt{./configure}.
Apart from the usual standard options, there are four extra ones you
may be interested into:
\begin{description}
\item[] \textbf{--enable-docs=[yes/no]} --- This option, enabled by
default, specifies whether the documentation should or should not be
generated.
\item[] \textbf{--with-debug} --- This option, disabled by default,
specifies that the source should be compiled with debug options,
e.g. without optimizations and with the symbol table included. It
is not advised to use a version compiled with this switch for
production.
\item[] \textbf{--with-globus-flavor=$<$flavor$>$} --- This option
compiles the code against the specified flavor of Globus. Please
note that this means that the specified flavor should be installed
on the compiling machine. The default is \verb|gcc32dbg|.
\item[] \textbf{--with-globus=$<$dir$>$} --- This option specifies the
path under which the Globus toolkit has been installed. The default
value is \verb|/opt/globus|.
\end{description}
After that, a simple \verb|make| is more than enough to compile the
sources.
\section{Installation}
To install the software you may execute the commands
%\verb|make install-client| to install the clients,
%\verb|make install-server| to install the servers, and
%\verb|make install-api| to install the API. Alternatively, a simple
\verb|make install| will install all the components of the software.
\section{Compatibility}
With version 1.6.0 and onwards, compatibility with VOMS version 1.1.x
and previous version is now dropped. This means that servers that are
not capable of generating ACs are now unsupported.
\chapter{voms}
\section{Configuration}
To complete configuration of \verb|voms|, you are supposed to
execute the \newline\verb|voms_install_db| command. It takes
the following options:
\begin{longtable}{lp{3in}}
\textbf{--mysql-home} & This option lets you specify the home
directory of mysql. This information is usually included in the
\$MYSQL\_HOME environment variable, and if that is the case on your
machine then you do not need to specify this option.\\
\textbf{--db} & This is the name of the database that will contain
the information about the VO. Its default name is ``voms'', and you
need to specify this information if and only if you are installing
multiple servers on the same machine. Otherwise the default is
perfectly fine.\\
\textbf{--port} & This is the port number where the VOMS server will
be listening. There is no default value for this option, although
15000 is the recommended choice for the first server installed on a
host, and additional servers may use 15001, 15002, etc\ldots\\
\textbf{--voms-vo} & This is the name of the VO to which the VOMS
server belongs. There is no default. For this reason, this option
must be \emph{always} specified.\\
\textbf{--db-admin} & This is the name of the DB user which will create
the tables. It is needed because the script needs to create a new DB
and a new user. Its default value is ``root'', which is the standard
on the default MySQL installation.\\
\textbf{--db-pwd} & This is the password of the DB account
specified by the previous option. Its default value is ``'', meaning
that there is no password. This is \emph{not} advisable. The root
account of a DB server hosting a VOMS DB \emph{must} be protected
by a password.\\
\textbf{--voms-name} & This is the username of the voms MySQL account
that will be setup to access the newly created DB. Its default value
is ``voms\_[VONAME]'', and it is perfectly fine if you are installing a single
server. If you are installing further servers on the same machine, you
\emph{MUST} change this name to some other value.\\
\textbf{--voms-pwd} & This is the password associated with the
\emph{voms-name} account. If not specified, a random password is created.
You should always specify a new value.\\
\textbf{--code} & This is a unique code for each server installed on the
same host. It is a value between 0 and 65535, and its default is the
value of \textbf{--port}.\\
\textbf{--db-type} & This specifies the type of db that will be used by
the server. Currently accepted values are \emph{mysql} and \emph{oracle}.
There is no default for this option.\\
\textbf{--sqlloc} & This specifies the full path to the DB interface library.
Again, there is no default for this option.\\
\textbf{--compat} & This option must be specified if you plan to use
voms 1.5.x on a MySQL backend with an old version of voms-admin. It
requires --db-type to be \emph{mysql}.\\
\textbf{--newformat} & This forces the server to generate ACs in the new
(correct) format. This is meant as a compatibility feature to ease migration
while the servers upgrade to the new version.\\
\end{longtable}
A couple example invocations follows:
for the first VO.
voms-install-db --port 15000 --vo-name my-vo --mysql-pwd 'some' --voms-pwd 'thing'
for a second VO on the same host.
voms-install-db --db new-vo --port 15001 --vo-name new-vo --mysql-pwd
'some' --voms-name 'voms2' --voms-pwd 'thing' --code 1
The server also needs to have an host certificate installed. Obtain
it from your CA using the CA-specific procedures, and then copy the
certificate in \verb|/etc/grid-security/hostcert.pem| and the private
key to \verb|/etx/grid-security/hostkey.pem|. The owners should be
set to root.root for both files, and permission should be,
respectively, 644 and 600 or, better, 444 and 400.
\section{Server options}
Installing the server using the above described procedure should
correctly create a set of configuration files that will execute it
with the proper options. However, there are many other options that
are not used by the default configuration script. The following lines
will so describe the totality of the options.
\begin{longtable}{lp{2.9in}}
\textbf{--port} & The port number on which the server
should be listening. The default value
is 50000\\
\textbf{--vo} & The name of the VO to which this server
will belong. The default value is
``unspecified''.\\
\textbf{--logfile} & The location of the log file. The
default location is
``\$PREFIX/var/log/voms.$<$voname$>$''\\
\textbf{--globusid} & The value of the GLOBUSID environment
variable. There is no default value.\\
\textbf{--globuspwd} & The value of the GLOBUSPWD environment
variable. There is no default value\\
\textbf{--x509\_cert\_dir} & The location where the CA certificates
are kept. The default value is
/etc/grid-security/certificates\\
\textbf{--x509\_cert\_file} & A file containing all the CA
certificates. There is no default
value.\\
\textbf{--x509\_user\_proxy} & The location of the server's proxy.
There is no default value.\\
\textbf{--x509\_user\_cert} & The location of the server's
certificate. The default value is
``/etc/grid-security/hostcert.pem''\\
\textbf{--x509\_user\_key} & The location of the server's private
key. The default value is
``/etc/grid-security/hostkey.pem''\\
\textbf{--desired\_name} & OBSOLETE. This option will be removed in
the future. Do \emph{not} use it.\\
\textbf{--foreground} & OBSOLETE. This option will be removed in
the future. Do \emph{not} use it.\\
\textbf{--username} & The name of the user with which VOMS will
access the DB. The default value is
``voms''\\
\textbf{--dbname} & The name of the DB that VOMS will use.
The default value is ``voms''.\\
\textbf{--timeout} & The maximum length of validity of the ACs
that VOMS will grant. (in seconds) The
default value is 24 hours\\
\textbf{--passfile} & The location of the file containing the
password needed to access the DB. This
file should be owned by root and have
permissions set to 400. There is no
default value. If this option is not
specified, than the password will be
asked to the user during server startup.\\
\textbf{--uri} & The URI that the server will publish for
himself. The default value is
$<$hostname$>$:$<$port$>$.\\
\textbf{--globus} & The version of Globus installed on the
server's host. Use 20 for Globus 2.0 or
Globus 2.1, and 22 for Globus 2.2 and
Globus 2.4. The default value is 22.\\
\textbf{--version} & Prints the version number and compilation
date and then exits.\\
\textbf{--backlog} & Sets the backlog on the socket. The
default value is 50.\\
%\end{longtable}
%\begin{longtable}{lp{3in}}
\textbf{--conf} & Lets you specify a file from which
options will be loaded. This file should
have exactly one option per line, and
option that do have values should be
specified in the format
``option=value''.\\
\textbf{--code} & This is a unique numeric code, between 0
and 65535, used to identify different
servers installed on the same machine.
Its default value is the value of \textbf{--port}.\\
\textbf{--logtype} & Chooses the type of messages that will be
logged. Possible values for this option are:
\begin{description}
\item[1] \emph{STARTUP} --- Messages during
the startup phase.
\item[2] \emph{REQUEST} --- Messages during
the request processing phase.
\item[4] \emph{RESULT} --- Messages during
the result processing and sending phase.
\end{description}
The different possible values may be ORed together.
The default value is 255.\\
\textbf{--loglevel} & Sets the level of verbosity on log messages.
Its possible values are:
\begin{description}
\item[1] \emph{LEV\_NONE} --- Does not log
anything.
\item[2] \emph{LEV\_ERROR} --- Only log
error messages.
\item[3] \emph{LEV\_WARN} --- Also logs
warning messages.
\item[4] \emph{LEV\_INFO} --- Also logs
informational messages.
\item[5] \emph{LEV\_DEBUG} --- Also logs
debug messages. This also sets the
\emph{-logtype} options to 255.
\end{description}
Higher levels of verbosity include all messages
from the lower levels. The default value for this
option is 2 (\emph{LEV\_ERROR}), also any value
higher than 5 is treated as 5 (\emph{LEV\_DEBUG})\\
\textbf{--logformat} & This option sets the format for the log messages.
Its default value is ``\%d:\%h:\%s(\%p):\%V:\%T:\%F (\%f:\%l):\%m''.
Details on the syntax will be given in the \emph{LOG Format}
section below.\\
\textbf{--logdateformat} & This option sets the format in which the date will be
printed. It is the same format used by the
\emph{strftime(3)} option, and its default value is ``\%c''.\\
\textbf{--debug} & Slightly modifies the internal workings
of the server to ease debug. \emph{Never}
use it on production servers. Use of this
option is guaranteed to severely hurt
scalability. This option also implies a
\emph{--loglevel=5}.\\
\textbf{--sqlloc} & This is the fully qualified path of the DB access library.
Please note that there is no default to this option.\\
\textbf{--socktimeout} & The maximum number of seconds that a server will wait
on an inactive connection before dropping it.\\
\textbf{--maxlog} & The maximum size of a single lock file. Please note that
this size is approximate and may be exceeded by a few thousand
bytes. Whenever this amount is exceeded, log files are rotated.
The default value is 10M.\\
\textbf{--newformat} & This forces the server to generate ACs in the new
(correct) format. This is meant as a compatibility
feature to ease migration while the servers upgrade to
the new version.\\
\end{longtable}
\section{LOG Format}
The format used for logging can be specified by the user via a format
string passed to the \emph{--logformat} option. This string has a
format similar to that used by the printf-family function.
All characters are copied into the output string unchanged, except for
substitution sequences, which have the following format:
\%[$<$ength$>$]$<$char$>$, where $<$length$>$ is optional and, if
specified, express the maximum length of the text that will be
substituted. Characters in excess will be silently truncated.
$<$char$>$, on the other hand, selects the type of substitution desired,
according to the following table:
\begin{longtable}{lp{4in}}
\textbf{\%} & Substitutes a plain \% character.\\
\textbf{d} & Substitutes the date. The date format is specified by
the \emph{-logdateformat} option.\\
\textbf{f} & Substitutes the name of the file that logged the message.\\
\textbf{F} & Substitutes the name of the function that logged the message.\\
\textbf{h} & Substitutes the hostname of the machine hosting the service.\\
\textbf{l} & Substitutes the line number of the code that logged the message.\\
\textbf{m} & Substitutes the message proper.\\
\textbf{t} & Substitutes the number of the message type. (see \emph{-logtype})\\
\textbf{T} & Substitutes the name of the message type. (see \emph{-logtype})\\
\textbf{v} & Substitutes the number of the message level. (see \emph{-logtype})\\
\textbf{V} & Substitutes the name of the message level. (see \emph{-logtype})\\
\end{longtable}
\chapter{voms-proxy-init}
\section{Introduction}
This command is used to contact the VOMS server and retrieve an AC
containing user attributes that will be included in the proxy
certificates.
\section{Configuration}
\subsection{The vomsdir directory}
Since the attribute certificates that come with voms proxies include
the signature of the issuing hosts, it becomes necessary for both the
command line utilities and the APIs to have a way to access the
issuing host's own certificate. For this reason, a directory, must be
setup.
Its default name is ``/etc/grid-security/vomsdir'', but this can be
overridden by setting the X509\_VOMS\_DIR envirinment variable.
For each VO supported on the host, a subdirectory must be created with
the same name as the VO. In this subdirectory two kinds of files may
be present.
\begin{enumerate}
\item \texttt{\*.lsc} files. These files contain data regarding the
signing certificate, in the format:
$<$DN$>$\newline
$<$CA$>$\newline
\ .\newline
\ .\newline
\ .\newline
$<$DN$>$\newline
$<$CA$>$\newline
Where each couple DN,CA is the corresponding couple in the signing
certificate's cert chain. The name of this file MUST be $<$voms host
name$>$.lsc where $<$voms host name$>$ is the output of the
\texttt{hostname} command in the VOMS server. Such files will be
tested against the certificate chain included in the VOMS ac.
Different certificate chains, for example during a certificate change
procedure, may be included if they are divided by a line containig
only ``------ NEXT CHAIN ------''.
Blank lines, lines containing only white space chars, or white space
at the end of a line are ignored.
\item Otherwise you may have files containing the whole certificate
chain of the host. There is no special requirement on the name,
except that it must not end with '\texttt{.lsc}'
\end{enumerate}
Second, in ``\$PREFIX/etc/vomses'' You should put a copy of the
\emph{vomses} file distributed by all the VOMS servers you wish to
contact. This subtree will be recursed into to examine all pertinent
files.
The easier way to comply to both previous points is to install the VO
config RPM that should be distributed by the VOMS servers themselves.
This is all the configuration that should be done for the use of this
command.
\section{Invocation}
The voms-proxy-init command can be invoked with the following
options:
\begin{longtable}{lp{3in}}
\textbf{--voms} & Specifies which server to contact. The parameter
has the following syntax:
$<$alias$>$[:$<$command$>$] where $<$alias$>$ is
the alias of the server as specified in the
vomses files. If the same alias is associated
to more than a single server, than those servers
are considered replicas of each other, and are
contacted in random order until one succeeds or
all fail.
The [:$<$command$>$] part is optional. If not
specified then the information returned will
include only group membership, while if you
specify :/Role=$<$rolename$>$ then you will also get the
role you asked for, provided that the server is
already prepared to grant it to you.
Finally, if you specify
:/group/Role=$<$rolename$>$ as command, then you
will get the role \emph{rolename} in the group
\emph{/group} only, again granted that the
server is prepared to grant you that role.
This option can be specified multiple times, and
the operations will be carried out in the exact
order in which these options are specified in the
command line.\\
\textbf{--version} & Prints version information and exits.\\
\textbf{--quiet} & Prints only minimal information.
\emph{WARNING}: some vital warnings may get
overlooked by this option.\\
\textbf{--verify} & Verifies the certificate from which to create the
proxy. This is not normally done, since in any
case, an invalid user certificate will be
detected when the proxy is actually used.\\
\textbf{--pwstdin} & Specifies that the private key's passphrase
should be received from stdin instead than
directly from the console.\\
\textbf{--limited} & Creates a limited certificate.\\
\textbf{--hours} & Specifies the length of the validity of the
generated proxy, measure in hours. The default
value is 12 hours.\\
\textbf{--bits} & Specifies the length in bits of the private key
of the newly generated proxy certificate. The
default value is 512.\\
\textbf{--cert} & Specifies a non-standard location of the user's
certificate. The default value is
``\$X509\_USER\_CERT'' or, if this value is unset,
``/\$HOME/.globus/usercert.pem''.\\
\textbf{--key} & Specifies a non-standard location of the user's
private key. The default value is
``\$X509\_USER\_KEY'' or, if this value is unset,
``\$HOME/.globus/userkey.pem''.\\
\textbf{--certdir} & Specifies a non-standard location of the trusted
cert (CA) directory. The default value is
``/etc/grid-security/certificates''.\\
\textbf{--out} & Specifies a non-standard location of the
generated proxy certificate. The default value
is ``\$X509\_USER\_PROXY'' or, if this is empty,
``/tmp/x509up\_u$<$id$>$'' where $<$id$>$ is the
user's UID.\\
\textbf{--order} & This option specifies the order in which the
attributes granted by the VOMS servers should be
returned.
The format of the parameter for this option is:
$<$group[:role]$>$, where ``group'' is a group name
and ``role'' is an (optional) role name. This
option may be specified multiple times, to create
an ordered list of attributes.
Each server will receive this list, and will
strive to return the attributes he will grant in
the exact order specified by this list. All
attributes not on this list will be returned in
an unspecified order, but after the recognized
attributes. Also, should this list include an
attribute unknown to a specific server, such an
attribute will be simply ignored.
Finally, should a server be unable to grant the
first attribute of the list, it will return a
warning to the user. However, this warning will
only be significant for the first server
contacted.\\
\textbf{--target} & This option take advantage of the capability ACs
have to target themselves to a specific set of
receivers, so that only those receivers should,
in conforming implementation, act on the data
they get, while all others should reject it.
This options lets you specify a set of FQHNs,
each on a separate option, that will constitute
the set of targets for the generated AC.\\
\textbf{--vomslife} & This option lets you specify the validity, in
seconds, that you wish for the generated ACs.
Remember that this value has only an advisory
role. VOMS servers may lower this duration if
the requested value exceeds the maximum they
have been configured to grant. The default
value of this option is ``the value of the
--hours option.''\\
\textbf{--proxyver} & The version of proxy certificate that will be generated.
May be 3 for new proxy certificate with critical
Proxy Certificate Extension or 2 for old. When not specified
the version is decided upon underlying globus version.\\
\textbf{--policy} & Specify the file containing the policy expression to put in
the PCI extension. The default is an empty policy expression.\\
\textbf{--policy-language} & Specify the language in which the policy is expressed.
Two generic language are defined: id-ppl-inheritAll
(default choice with an empty policy expression,
else invocated with IMPERSONATION\_PROXY or own OID),
which indicates an unrestricted proxy that inherits all
rights from the issuing PI, and id-ppl-independent
(invocated with INDEPENDENT\_PROXY) which indicates an independent proxy that inherits no
rights from the issuing PI. \\
\textbf{--path-length} & Specify the maximum depth of the path of proxy certificates
that can be signed by this proxy certificate.
A value of 0 means that this certificate must not be used to
sign a proxy certificate. If not present means that unlimited proxy can be signed.\\
\textbf{--globus} & The version of Globus installed on the server's
host. Use 20 for Globus 2.0 or Globus 2.1, and
22 for Globus 2.2 and Globus 2.4. The default
value is 22.\\
\textbf{--noregen} & For its normal workings, voms-proxy-init
first creates a proxy with which to contact the
VOMS servers, and then creates a new proxy to
hold all of the returned ACs. This option skips
the creation of the first proxy, and assumes
that such a proxy already exists.\\
\textbf{--separate} & This option save the ACs in a separate file,
instead than including them into a proxy
certificate.\\
\textbf{--ignorewarn} & Specify this if you do not want to allow
warnings to be printed.\\
\textbf{--failonwarn} & Specify this if you want warnings to be
upgraded into errors.\\
\textbf{--confile},
\textbf{--userconf},
\textbf{--vomses} & These options specify the location of the vomses files or directories.
They should be either owned by the user, or by root. ``\$PREFIX/etc/vomses''
and ``\$HOME/.edg/vomses'' are added by default. The three options are synonyms,
with one exception: --vomses may be specified any number of times..\\
\ & COMPATIBILITY NOTE: This behaviour differs from the behaviour of previous versions,
where --confile was reserved for root-owned files, and --userconf was reserved for
user-owned files. This modification is backwards compatible and should solve all
the confusion problems. --userconf and --confile are now deprecated\\
\textbf{--conf} & Lets you specify a file from which options will
be loaded. This file should have exactly one
option per line, and option that do have values
should be specified in the format
``option=value''.\\
\textbf{--debug} & This option prints a series of additional debug
information on stdout. The additional output
returned by this option should \emph{always} be
included into bug reports for the
voms-proxy-init command. User should not,
however, ever rely on information printed by
this options. Both content and format are
guaranteed to change between software
releases.\\
\textbf{--list} & Instead of producing an AC, this option prints on screen
a list of all attributes available to the user.\\

\chapter{voms-install-replica}
\section{Introduction}
This script allows a VOMS server to be setup as a slave of a master
host, so that it will automatically pickup all DB updates from the
master. It only works for MySQL-based servers.
\section{Configuration}
Prior to using this script, the VOMS who has to become the master must
be configured. The instructions to do so follow.
From the shell (just once):
\begin{verbatim}
cat >>/etc/my.cnf <<EOF
log-bin
server-id=1
EOF
\end{verbatim}
and then, every time a new replica must be created:
\begin{verbatim}
mysql -p -e "grant super, reload , replication slave, replication
client on voms_myvo.* to replica@'grid-se.pr.infn.it' identified by
'replicapass'"
mysql -p -e "grant select, lock tables on voms_myvo.* to
replica@'grid-se.pr.infn.it'"
\end{verbatim}
The last two commands are meant to be specified on one line only, and
have been broken into multiple lines here for legibility.
You should obviously replace \texttt{replica@grid-se.pr.infn.it} and
\texttt{replicapass} with the hostname of your new replica server and
the username that it will be using. The username and the associated
password should then be communicated to the administrator of the
replica server.
\section{Invocation}
After having configure the slave via the \emph{voms-install-db}
script, the \emph{voms-install-replica} script should be run. It
takes the following options:
\begin{longtable}{lp{3in}}
\textbf{--db} & This is the name of the DB that will
be replicated. It must be the same
name used in the master.\\
\textbf{--mysql-admin} & This is the root account on the
\emph{slave} DB.\\
\textbf{--mysql-pwd} & This is the password associated to
the \textbf{--mysql-admin} account.\\
\textbf{--master-host} & This is the fully qualified hostname
of the machine on which the server is
running.\\
\textbf{--master-mysql-user} & This is the username that the master
administrator created for the replica
to use.\\
\textbf{--master-mysql-pwd} & This is the username that is
associated to the
\textbf{--master-mysql-pwd}
account.\\
\textbf{--master-db} & This is name of the DB that should be
replicated. It must be the same as
the argument of the \textbf{--db}
option.\\
\textbf{--master-log-file} & This is the name of the copy of the
master log file that will be created
on the slave machine.\\
\textbf{--master-log-pos} & This is the location in which the
file specified by the
\textbf{--master-log-file} will be
placed.\\
