bind-req Command—Create a Binding

You create a binding between the DUA and a DSA by using the bind-req command.

When you enter the bind-req command using the DSA console, the system treats the command as if it had come from a remote DUA.

A binding remains active until one of the following happens:

• It is released by the user using the unbind service.
• It is aborted, probably because the connection failed or the DSA was shut down.
• It is terminated by the DSA (probably because a time limit expired).
• It is terminated by the system administrator (using the abort users command).

The bind-req command has the following format:

bind-req {
	[ssl-auth [pem-file]]
	| [[ssl-encryption ] user=user password=password]
	}
	[ remote-addr= {
		rfc1278-p-addr 
		| [psap=psap-addr] [ssap=ssap-addr][tsap=sap-addr][nsap= tcp tcp-addr tcp-port port]
		}
	]

ssl-auth

Specifies that the bind request should use SSL authorization.

pem-file

Defines the SSL personality file. Maximum length is 20 characters. The DUA adds the filename extension .pem.

ssl-encryption

Specifies that the username and password are to be encrypted.

Example: Binding Request:

bind-req
user = <countryName "AU">
	<organizationName "Democorp">
	<organizationalUnitName "Services">
	<organizationalUnitName "Networks">
	<commonName "Brendan RANDALL">
password = "secret"
