Chapter 11. 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:
  1. Start the editing session.
    jaas:manage
  2. Edit the realm's user data.
    • jaas:users
      Lists all of the users.
    • jaas:useradd
      Add a new user.
    • jaas:userdel
      Delete a user.
    • jaas:roleadd
      Add a new role to a user.
    • jaas:roledel
      Delete a role from a user.
    • jaas:pending
      Lists all of the pending changes that have been made to the realms, but have not been applied to the container.
  3. 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.
