Turning Old Command Line Interfaces into New OpenSSO Command Line Interface

A number of command line interfaces originally developed for the products that have been integrated into OpenSSO have been EOL'ed. So here is some information on the new commands and options that can be used instead.

amadmin

Although the legacy command line interface amadmin is still bundled with OpenSSO, certain LIberty Alliance Project Identity-Federation Framework (Liberty ID-FF) related options are no longer supported because of a change in the metadata format. Use the following ssoadm commands to import and export metadata. Be sure to append --spec idff to the command.

amadmin Optionssoadm Command
-g|--importimport-entity
-o|--exportexport-entity

saml2meta

The command line interface saml2meta (originally developed for the Sun Java System SAMLv2 Plug-in for Federation Services) is not supported in OpenSSO. Use the corresponding ssoadm commands instead. Note that some of the new commands must have --spec saml2 appended.

saml2meta Optionssoadm Command
importimport-entity with --spec saml2 option
exportexport-entity with --spec saml2 option
templatecreate-metadata-templ with --spec saml2 option
deletedelete-entity with --spec saml2 option
listlist-entities with --spec saml2 option
cotcreatecreate-cot
cotdeletedelete-cot
cotaddadd-cot-member
cotremoveremove-cot-member
cotmemberlist-cot-members
cotlistlist-cots

saml2bulkfed

The command line interfaces saml2bulkfed (originally developed for the Sun Java System SAMLv2 Plug-in for Federation Services) is not supported in OpenSSO. Use the following ssoadm commands for SAMLv2 bulk federation. Be sure to append --spec saml2 to the command.
  • do-bulk-federation performs bulk federation.
  • import-bulk-fed-data imports the bulk federation data generated by the do-bulk-federation command.

ambulkfed

The command line interface ambulkfed (originally developed for Access Manager to bulk federate using the Liberty ID-FF protocol) is not supported in OpenSSO either. The ssoadm commands that take the place of the SAMLv2 bulk federation CLI (above) can also be used for Liberty ID-FF bulk federation by appending --spec idff to the command rather than --spec saml2.

And now some new music (on this side of the pond anyway) from Alison Moyet. The Turn was just released in North America and features the single, A Guy Like You.
