Displaying Ceph user information

You can display a Ceph’s user information using the command-line interface.

Prerequisites

  • A running IBM Storage Ceph cluster.

  • Root-level access to the node.

Procedure

  1. To retrieve a specific user, key and capabilities, run the following:

    Syntax 

    ceph auth export TYPE.ID

    Example 

    [ceph: root@host01 /]# ceph auth export mgr.host02.eobuuv

  2. You can also use the -o FILE_NAME option.

    Syntax 

    ceph auth export TYPE.ID -o FILE_NAME

    Example 

    [ceph: root@host01 /]# ceph auth export osd.9 -o filename
export auth(key=AQBV7U5g1XDULhAAKo2tw6ZhH1jki5aVui2v7g==)

The auth export command is identical to auth get, but also prints out the internal auid, which isn’t relevant to end users.
