| − | === Client setup to use the test-irods system ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The iRODS system 'test-irods' is a test system we use to
| |
| − | test upgrades and functionality. It a collection of
| |
| − | Xen virtual machines running CentOS 6.9 and iRODS 4.1.8
| |
| − | at the moment. There is one iCAT server and two iRODS
| |
| − | storage server nodes.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To access the system it is preferable to use the same
| |
| − | version of the client as the server but theoretically
| |
| − | it should also work with other versions of the client as
| |
| − | well.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Easiest and most tested is the Unix command line client.
| |
| − | On a cluster like Aurora most probably this is going to
| |
| − | be the one to be used.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Installing the iRODS iCommands client ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | To install the latest 4.2.1 command line client the
| |
| − | instructions are on the iRODS web site at:
| |
| − | https://irods.org/download/
| |
| − | and
| |
| − | https://packages.irods.org/
| |
| − | .
| |
| − | | |
| − | On a CentOS Linux variant as root:
| |
| − | Get the signing key.
| |
| − | rpm --import https://packages.irods.org/irods-signing-key.asc
| |
| − | | |
| − | Get the repository description file.
| |
| − | wget -qO - https://packages.irods.org/renci-irods.yum.repo >/etc/yum.repos.d/renci-irods.yum.repo
| |
| − | | |
| − | Install the package.
| |
| − | yum install irods-icommands
| |
| − | It will ask to confirm to import the iRODS package signing key
| |
| − | and then ask to confirm going ahead with installing the package
| |
| − | and the dependencies. The command line client executables will go
| |
| − | under <code>/bin</code>.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The iRODS client will need to be able to talk to the iRODS iCAT server
| |
| − | and the resource servers at ports 1247 and 20000..20199. (Those are
| |
| − | the defaults.) Firewall / packet filtering should allow outgoing connections
| |
| − | to those ports.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Configuring the iRODS iCommands client ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | To be able to use the iRODS command line client a user has to have
| |
| − | a configuration file in place which describes how to access the
| |
| − | iCAT server. The file has <code>json</code> format (with the latest
| |
| − | versions.)
| |
| − | | |
| − | An example file would look like this:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | {
| |
| − | "irods_host": "<irodshost>",
| |
| − | "irods_port": <port>,
| |
| − | "irods_default_resource": "<resourcename>",
| |
| − | "irods_home": "/<zonename>/home/<username>",
| |
| − | "irods_cwd": "/<zonename>/home/<username>",
| |
| − | "irods_user_name": "<username>",
| |
| − | "irods_zone_name": "<zonename>",
| |
| − | "irods_client_server_negotiation": "request_server_negotiation",
| |
| − | "irods_client_server_policy": "CS_NEG_REFUSE",
| |
| − | "irods_encryption_key_size": 32,
| |
| − | "irods_encryption_salt_size": 8,
| |
| − | "irods_encryption_num_hash_rounds": 16,
| |
| − | "irods_encryption_algorithm": "AES-256-CBC",
| |
| − | "irods_default_hash_scheme": "SHA256",
| |
| − | "irods_match_hash_policy": "compatible",
| |
| − | "irods_server_control_plane_port": 1248,
| |
| − | "irods_server_control_plane_key": "TEMPORARY__32byte_ctrl_plane_key",
| |
| − | "irods_server_control_plane_encryption_num_hash_rounds": 16,
| |
| − | "irods_server_control_plane_encryption_algorithm": "AES-256-CBC",
| |
| − | "irods_maximum_size_for_single_buffer_in_megabytes": 32,
| |
| − | "irods_default_number_of_transfer_threads": 4,
| |
| − | "irods_transfer_buffer_size_for_parallel_transfer_in_megabytes": 4
| |
| − | }
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | Names in the angle brackets are placeholders to be replaced with the
| |
| − | actual values (without the angle brackets as in the file below).
| |
| − | irodshost is the fully qualified name of the irods host (with the dots).
| |
| − | port is the port the iCAT server is using, the default is 1247
| |
| − | resourcename is the name of the default resource to be used
| |
| − | zonename is the name of the iRODS zone
| |
| − | If not sure about these please ask a system administrator.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In out case:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | {
| |
| − | "irods_host": "test-irods.nsc.liu.se",
| |
| − | "irods_port": 1247,
| |
| − | "irods_default_resource": "demoResc",
| |
| − | "irods_home": "/tempZone/home/s_jonli",
| |
| − | "irods_cwd": "/tempZone/home/s_jonli",
| |
| − | "irods_user_name": "s_jonli",
| |
| − | "irods_zone_name": "tempZone",
| |
| − | "irods_client_server_negotiation": "request_server_negotiation",
| |
| − | "irods_client_server_policy": "CS_NEG_REFUSE",
| |
| − | "irods_encryption_key_size": 32,
| |
| − | "irods_encryption_salt_size": 8,
| |
| − | "irods_encryption_num_hash_rounds": 16,
| |
| − | "irods_encryption_algorithm": "AES-256-CBC",
| |
| − | "irods_default_hash_scheme": "SHA256",
| |
| − | "irods_match_hash_policy": "compatible",
| |
| − | "irods_server_control_plane_port": 1248,
| |
| − | "irods_server_control_plane_key": "TEMPORARY__32byte_ctrl_plane_key",
| |
| − | "irods_server_control_plane_encryption_num_hash_rounds": 16,
| |
| − | "irods_server_control_plane_encryption_algorithm": "AES-256-CBC",
| |
| − | "irods_maximum_size_for_single_buffer_in_megabytes": 32,
| |
| − | "irods_default_number_of_transfer_threads": 4,
| |
| − | "irods_transfer_buffer_size_for_parallel_transfer_in_megabytes": 4
| |
| − | }
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | To use PAM authentication (that is with the Yubikey) you will need one
| |
| − | additional line:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | "irods_authentication_scheme": "PAM",
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | to be inserted _before_ the line with
| |
| − | <code>irods_transfer_buffer_size_for_parallel_transfer_in_megabytes</code>.
| |
| − | Please note the comma at the end of the line.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The configuration file needs to be placed in the directory <code>.irods</code>
| |
| − | under the home directory, named <code>irods_environment.json</code>.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To be able to use the iRODS system first the user has to be authenticated.
| |
| − | This is done using the <code>iinit</code> command.
| |
| − | iinit
| |
| − | It will ask for a password, which should have been already sent in an e-mail.
| |
| − | For the users who are given a Yubikey the device should be inserted into
| |
| − | a USB port at this point and the gold plated button should be pressed
| |
| − | for a few seconds. In case the authentication was successful the
| |
| − | command prompt is returned.
| |
| − | | |
| − | From then on the iRODS iCommands should be available to use.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Using iCommands ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | All icommands give help using the command line switch <code>-h</code>.
| |
| − | The most useful commands are:
| |
| − | iinit
| |
| − | ils
| |
| − | iget
| |
| − | iput
| |
| − | irsync
| |

| |
| − | on how to use iRODS.
