Chapter 10. JAAS Console Commands
The jaas commands are used for editing JAAS realm and user data. Editing a JAAS realm is done in two stages. The changes are placed in a queue until they are applied by executing the jaas:update.
When editing JAAS settings the commands are used as follows:
- Start the editing session.jaas:manage
- Edit the realm's user data.
- jass:usersLists all of the users.
- jass:useraddAdd a new user.
- jass:userdelDelete a user.
- jass:roleaddAdd a new role to a user.
- jass:roledelDelete a role from a user.
- jass:pendingLists all of the pending changes that have been made to the realms, but have not been applied to the container.
- Apply the changes to the JAAS realm and ends the editing session.jaas:update
You can abandon an editing session using jaas:cancel before the changes applied to the JAAS settings.
Type
jaas: then press Tab at the prompt to view the available commands.
