ickey(1M) System Administration Commands ickey(1M)NAMEickey - 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 encryp‐
tion 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 key‐
ing materials are kept confidential. At a minimum, use ssh(1) to pre‐
vent 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 diagnos‐
tic message is printed and ickey exits with non-zero status.
