INTRODUCTION
|
|
|
|
CasaAuthtokenValidateD provides a service that is utilized by libcasa_s_authtoken
|
|
for the validation of CASA Authentication Tokens.
|
|
|
|
Processes executing libcasa_s_authtoken communicate with CasaAuthTokenValidateD via
|
|
domain sockets. CasaAuthTokenValidateD validates authentication tokens by invoking
|
|
the appropriate CASA Authentication Token Java classes.
|
|
|
|
COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS
|
|
|
|
CasaAuthtokenValidateD has the following command line parameters:
|
|
|
|
-b BeginThreads
|
|
|
|
Optional parameter that specifies the initial number of threads utilized by the
|
|
service to process requests.
|
|
|
|
-g GrowThreads
|
|
|
|
Optional parameter that specifies the number of threads by which the service can
|
|
grow its thread pool utilized for processing requests.
|
|
|
|
-m MaxThreads
|
|
|
|
Optional parameter that specifies the maximum number of threads that the service
|
|
can have in its thread pool for processing requests.
|
|
|
|
-D DebugLevel
|
|
|
|
Optional parameter that specifies the level used for logging debugging information.
|
|
0 being the lowest debug level.
|
|
|
|
-d
|
|
Optional parameter that specifies that the service must be run as a daemon.
|
|
|
|
-s
|
|
Do not use multiple threads to call into the JVM when invoking the authentication
|
|
token verification classes. This option was added to have a temporary work around
|
|
to bug present in Sun's JVM Invoke Interface (BUG221420).
|
|
|
|
SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
|
|
|
|
Appropriate rights need to be set on the folder used by CasaAuthtokenValidateD to
|
|
create its listeing socket to keep other services from hijacking it and taking on
|
|
the validation of CASA authentication sockets. CasaAuthtokenValidateD creates its
|
|
listen socket in the /var/lib/CASA/authtoken/validate/ folder.
