prc_write_irodsA.py – Produce a “secrets” (i.e. encoded password) file

Synopsis

prc_write_irodsA.py [-i STREAM | -h | --help | --ttl HOURS] AUTH_SCHEME

Description

This script produces a “secrets” (i.e. encoded password) file. Similar to iinit in this capacity, if the environment – and where applicable, the PAM configuration for both system and user – is already set up in every other regard, this program will generate the secrets file with appropriate permissions and in the normal location, usually:

~/.irods/.irodsA

The user will be interactively prompted to enter their cleartext password.
