configure_bestman - Bestman configuration script

Synopsis

    configure_bestman --server <y,n>
                      --user <Bestman user>
                      --cert <Bestman service certificate>
                      --key  <Bestman service key>
                      --http-port <Public port number>
                      --https-port <Secure port number> 
                      --globus-tcp-port-range <Low_port,high_port>
                      --volatile-file-lifetime <Lifetime in seconds>
                      --vdt-install <VDT installation root>

Note: This configure script does not save any state. Every time it is called, it will restore defaults to the Bestman configuration, so you need to specify all non-default parameters each time this script is called.

Description

--server <y,n>: For y Prepare bestman to be installed and started by vdt-control. For n describe bestman for vdt-control, but do not enable.
--user <Bestman user>: By default Bestman will be configured to run as the daemon user. You can specify an alternative with the --user flag. Since, by default, Bestman shares a certificate with other services running as daemon you must specify a new certificate and key if you change the user.
--cert <Bestman service certificate>: By default, Bestman is configured to use the HTTP service certificate in /etc/grid-security/http. This certificate is shared by several different VDT server components. If you specify a new certificate, make sure it is owned by daemon or the value of --user.
--key <Bestman service key>: By default, Bestman is configured to use the HTTP service key in /etc/grid-security/http. This key is shared by several different VDT server components. If you specify a new key, make sure it is owned by daemon or the value of --user.
--http-port <Public port number>: By default, this will be set to 10080. You may specify a different value with this option.
--https-port <Secure port number>: By default, this will be set to 10443. You may specify a different value with this option.
--globus-tcp-port-range <Low_port,high_port>: Change the default globus TCP port range.
--volatile-file-lifetime <Lifetime in seconds>: Change the default volatile file lifetime.
--vdt-install <VDT installation root>: configure_bestman will look for the root of the VDT installation at $VDT_LOCATION. If you do not have that set you can specify it with --vdt-install instead.
--help, --usage: Print a usage message.
