NAME
       ickey - install a client key for WAN boot

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/inet/wanboot/ickey [-d] [-o type=3des]

       /usr/lib/inet/wanboot/ickey [-d] [-o type=aes]

       /usr/lib/inet/wanboot/ickey [-d] [-o type=sha1]

DESCRIPTION
       The  ickey  command  is used to install WAN boot keys on a running UNIX
       system so that they can be used the next time the system is  installed.
       You  can	 store three different types of keys: 3DES and AES for encryp‐
       tion and an HMAC SHA-1 key for hashed verification.

       ickey reads the key from standard input using getpassphrase(3C) so that
       it  does	 not  appear  on  the  command line. When installing keys on a
       remote system, you must take proper precautions to ensure that any key‐
       ing  materials  are kept confidential. At a minimum, use ssh(1) to pre‐
       vent interception of data in transit.

       Keys are expected to be presented as  strings  of  hexadecimal  digits;
       they can (but need not) be preceeded by a 0x or 0X.

       The  ickey command has a single option, described below. An argument of
       the type -o type=keytype is required.

OPTIONS
       The ickey command the following option.

       -d    Delete the key specified by the keytype argument.

EXIT STATUS
       On success, ickey exits with status 0; if a problem occurs, a  diagnos‐
       tic message is printed and ickey exits with non-zero status.

FILES
       /dev/openprom	WAN boot key storage driver
