+
+The import_abac_creds.py program adds ABAC credential held in X.509 certificates directly to an ABAC authorizer used by fedd.  This authorizer is created by either [wiki:FeddABAC#fedd_to_abac.py fedd_to_abac.py] or [wiki:FeddABAC#access_to_abac.py access_to_abac.py].  The command takes an argument of the form:
+
+  {{{--dir=}}}''dir''::
+    The output directory for the authorizer.  (This must be an absolute pathname).
+
+The remaining parameters are a list of files containing the certificates to add.  These can be identity or attribute certificates.  To add an attribute certificate signed by issuer.pem and contained in attr.der to an authroizer in {{{/usr/local/etc/fedd/abac}}} the command is:
+
+{{{
+$ import_abac_creds.py --dir /usr/local/etc/fedd/abac issuer.pem attr.der
+}}}
+
+You can confirm the addition of the certificates using [wiki:FeddABAC#dump_abac_authorizer.py dump_abac_authorizer.py].
