 ICKEY 1M "May 7, 2003"
 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 running 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.
