    1212The main federation daemon; when this documentation refers to `fedd` is is the `fedd.py` executable that is running.  It can run on any host as any user, provided permissions and keys are correct.  Most of `fedd`'s behavior is controlled by its [FeddConfig configuration files] and [FeddDatabases databases], there are a few command line arguments.

    21 === Confirm_sshkey.py ===
    22 
    23 The `confirm_sshkey.py` command is used by `fedd` to confirm that a local account can be accessed using an SSH public key.  It does this by accessing the Emulab database, and must run on `boss`.  It is included in the distribution for administrators who want to be able to confirm keys without patching `addpubkey`.
    24 
    25 The command takes the same arguments as the extended version of `addpubkey`, which is to say the same arguments as the unextended `addpubkey` plus '''-C'''.  Other than installing it and adjusting the '''confirmkey''' parameter in the  [allocation] section of the [FeddConfig#AllocationOptions configuration file] users should rarely need this command.  By default the fedd package `confirm_sshkey.py` in `/usr/local/bin`.

    27 === Exp_access_db.py ===

     22=== exp_access_db.py ===
    2823
    2924The `exp_access_db.py` command is a helper to generate [FeddDatabases#ExperimentControlComponentAccessDB experiment control component access databases].  It can be run on `boss` to print data in that database's format that can be redirected into a file for use as a database.  With no options it converts the entire users table of the database into an experiment control access database with an entry for each local project of which the user is a member.  The [FeddAbout#GlobalIdentifiers:Fedids fedid's] are generated from the user's SSL certificates as they appear in the Emulab database.

    7267The `fedid.py` command prints the [Feddabout#Globalidentifiers:Fedids fedid] of the public key of an X.509 certificate to the standard output.  This is handy in getting fedids for the various [FeddDatabases databases] that `fedd` uses.  The command is invoked with 0 or more '''--attribute='''''attr'' parameters and 0 or more filenames.  The command prints the fedids and the attributes in the format of a [FeddDatabases#GlobalAccessDB global access database] and can be used directly to construct those files.  For example, this invocation:

    85 === User_to_project.py ===
    86 
    87 The `user_to_project.py` command exists to provide command line functionality that Emulab keeps in a web page.  It attaches a user to a project.  It is called by a `fedd` running on `boss` when a project is dynamically created.  Its default installation destination and the default value for the [experiment_control] parameter '''user_to_project''' both default to `/usr/local/bin/user_to_project.py`.  It is unlikely a user will ever need to run this command.
