6.4.4.10 Keyring Command Options

--keyring-migration-destination=plugin

The destination keyring plugin for key migration. See Section 6.4.4.7, “Migrating Keys Between Keyring Keystores”. The format and interpretation of the option value is the same as described for the --keyring-migration-source option.

--keyring-migration-host=host_name

The host location of the running server that is currently using one of the key migration keystores. See Section 6.4.4.7, “Migrating Keys Between Keyring Keystores”. Migration always occurs on the local host, so the option always specifies a value for connecting to a local server, such as localhost, 127.0.0.1, ::1, or the local host IP address or host name.

--keyring-migration-password[=password]

The password for connecting to the running server that is currently using one of the key migration keystores. See Section 6.4.4.7, “Migrating Keys Between Keyring Keystores”. If you omit the password value following the option name on the command line, the server prompts for one.

Specifying a password on the command line should be considered insecure. See Section 6.1.2.1, “End-User Guidelines for Password Security”. You can use an option file to avoid giving the password on the command line. In this case, the file should have a restrictive mode and be accessible only to the account used to run the migration server.

--keyring-migration-port=port_num

For TCP/IP connections, the port number for connecting to the running server that is currently using one of the key migration keystores. See Section 6.4.4.7, “Migrating Keys Between Keyring Keystores”.

--keyring-migration-socket=path

For Unix socket file or Windows named pipe connections, the socket file or named pipe for connecting to the running server that is currently using one of the key migration keystores. See Section 6.4.4.7, “Migrating Keys Between Keyring Keystores”.

--keyring-migration-source=plugin

The source keyring plugin for key migration. See Section 6.4.4.7, “Migrating Keys Between Keyring Keystores”.

The option value is similar to that for --plugin-load, except that only one plugin library can be specified. The value is given as name=plugin_library or plugin_library. The name is the name of a plugin to load, and plugin_library is the name of the library file that contains the plugin code. If the plugin library is named without any preceding plugin name, the server loads all plugins in the library. The server looks for plugin library files in the directory named by the plugin_dir system variable.

--keyring-migration-user=user_name

The user name for connecting to the running server that is currently using one of the key migration keystores. See Section 6.4.4.7, “Migrating Keys Between Keyring Keystores”.
