getauthinfo - command to create/obtain a certificate for authentication

getauthinfo id

server command


signer	the name of the 'signer' server, for example, pcwork1.company.com. The default is the name in the file /services/cs/db.
remote user name	the name of the user for whom a certificate is either to be created on the server or retrieved on the client. The default is the name in /dev/user.
password	the password for the user. The password entered on the client must match the password on the server in order to retrieve a certificate. This password can be stored in encrypted form on the server with the changelogin command (see changelogin earlier in this chapter). The password must be at least 7 characters.
save in file	the default is no. If the user responds "yes" on a client, the certificate is stored on the client in the file /usr/username/keyring/net!machine. On the server, the user should respond "yes," and the newly created certificate is stored in the file /usr/Inferno/keyring/default.

/usr/username/keyring/net!machine	where a certificate is stored on a client machine
/usr/inferno/keyring/default	where a certificate is stored on a 'signer' server.
/services/cs/db	contains the default name of the 'signer' server.
