Sample slim client definition file

Edit online

Using a sample script, you can create and configure a NIM client as a Kerberos slim client.

The script is located in the /usr/samples/nim/krb5 directory. The script helps you create a simple Kerberos slim client using values defined in the config_rpcsec_server script. The script can be modified based on user need or preference.
Note: Before you begin, review the config_rpcsec_client script prior to use.
The config_rpcsec_client script handles the following operations:
  • Creates a system user; the default is nim

    The user must match an existing user principal on the KDC server.

  • tftp the slim image from the NIM master

    The tar image must exist on the NIM server.

  • Enables the user principal using the kinit command

    The password must match the user principal on the KDC server.

  • Recycles the NFS services

Examples

To create a simple KDC slim client using default values, type the following command:
config_rpcsec_client
To create a simple KDC slim client using system user nimadmin as the user principal, type the following command:
config_rpcsec_client -u nimadmin
