Modifying Authenticator Configuration

To modify an authenticator configuration, make sure the authenticator is disabled. Download the current configuration into a file using the pki tps-authenticator-show command above, then edit the file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Authenticator id="ldap1" xmlns:ns2="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
    <Link href="https://pki.example.com:8443/tps/rest/authenticators/ldap1" rel="self"/>
    <Properties>
        ...
        <Property name="auths.instance.ldap1.ldap.maxConns">20</Property>
        <Property name="auths.instance.ldap1.ldap.minConns">5</Property>
        ...
    </Properties>
    <Status>Disabled</Status>
</Authenticator>

Then upload the new configuration with the following command:

$ pki -n caadmin tps-authenticator-mod ldap1 --input ldap1.xml
------------------------------
Modified authenticator "ldap1"
------------------------------

Finally, make sure the authenticator is enabled again.

Adding New Authenticator

To create a new authenticator, download an existing authenticator configuration into a file using the pki tps-authenticator-show command above. Edit the file, replace the old authenticator ID with the new one, and make the necessary changes.

Then create the new authenticator with the following command:

$ pki -n caadmin tps-authenticator-add --input ldap2.xml
---------------------------
Added authenticator "ldap2"
---------------------------

Make sure the new authenticator is enabled.

Deleting Authenticator

To delete an authenticator, make sure the authenticator is disabled, then execute the following command:

$ pki -n caadmin tps-authenticator-del ldap2
-----------------------------
Deleted authenticator "ldap2"
