SYNOPSIS

dacs_conf [\m[blue]dacsoptions\m[]\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2]

DESCRIPTION

This program is part of the DACS suite.

The dacs_conf web service processes and displays DACS configuration files (see \m[blue]dacs.conf(5)\m[]\s-2\u[2]\d\s+2).

If XML output is selected, a document conforming to \m[blue]dacs_conf_reply.dtd\m[]\s-2\u[3]\d\s+2 is returned.

Although the order in which clauses appear in configuration files can be important, the order of configuration directives is for the most part not significant. The exception is the \m[blue]EVAL\m[]\s-2\u[4]\d\s+2 directive. These directives are listed in the order in which they would be evaluated, and their unevaluated values appear in the output.

Note

This program is also available as a DACS utility, \m[blue]dacsconf(1)\m[]\s-2\u[5]\d\s+2. Because \m[blue]dacs_admin(8)\m[]\s-2\u[6]\d\s+2 provides the same functionality and more, dacs_conf may be removed in a future release.

Security

Because the configuration might reveal information that could be taken advantage of by an attacker, only the DACS administrator should be able to run this command. Accordingly, a DACS ACL restricts use of this web service to a DACS administrator.

OPTIONS

Web Service Arguments

In addition to the \m[blue]standard CGI arguments\m[]\s-2\u[7]\d\s+2, dacs_conf understands the following CGI arguments:

DIRECTIVE

This optional, repeatable argument is a comma-separated list of directive names or variable references to be displayed. This is similar to the directive-name arguments to \m[blue]dacsconf(1)\m[]\s-2\u[5]\d\s+2.

An example of a directive name is JURISDICTION_NAME. An example of a variable reference is ${Conf::jurisdiction_name:i}.

VARS

If the value of this optional argument is "yes", the effect on output formatting is the same as when the -vars flag is give to \m[blue]dacsconf(1)\m[]\s-2\u[5]\d\s+2. The default value is "no".

FILES

\m[blue]conf.css\m[]\s-2\u[8]\d\s+2

DIAGNOSTICS

The program exits 0 if everything was fine, 1 if an error occurred.
