NAME

kas_statistics - Displays statistics from an Authentication Server process

SYNOPSIS

kas statistics [-admin_username <admin principal to use for authentication>] [-password_for_admin <admin password>] [-cell <cell name>] [-servers <explicit list of authentication servers>+] [-noauth] [-help]

kas sta [-a <admin principal to use for authentication>] [-p <admin password>] [-c <cell name>] [-s <explicit list of authentication servers>+] [-n] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

The kas statistics command displays statistics from the Authentication Server running on one of the cell's database server machines. Use the -servers argument to name a specific machine, or the command interpreter chooses one at random from all the database server machines with which it has established connections.

CAUTIONS

The -servers argument is not available in interactive mode, making it impossible to specify a certain machine.

OPTIONS

-admin_username <admin principal>

Specifies the user identity under which to authenticate with the Authentication Server for execution of the command. For more details, see kas(8).

-password_for_admin <admin password>

Specifies the password of the command's issuer. If it is omitted (as recommended), the kas command interpreter prompts for it and does not echo it visibly. For more details, see kas(8).

-cell <cell name>

Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see kas(8).

-servers <authentication servers>+

Names each machine running an Authentication Server with which to establish a connection. For more details, see kas(8).

-noauth

Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the issuer. For more details, see kas(8).

-help

Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

OUTPUT

The information in the output includes:
