It displays version number and compilation information.

--automatic or -a

It enables automatic Kerberos authentication.

--no-syslog or -l

It sends log messages to the standard output instead of syslog.

--verbose <verbosity> or -v <verbosity>

It sets verbosity level to <verbosity>. The default verbosity level is 3; the possible values are 0-10.

--logtags; or -T

It prepends log category and log level to each message.

Authentication Agent Multiplexer (auth-agent-mpxd) has the following command line parameters:

--help or -?

It displays a brief help message.

--version or -V

It displays the version number of auth-agent-mpxd.

--no-syslog or -l

--verbose <verbosity> or -v <verbosity>

--logtags; or -T

--aliasfile; or -a

It is the name (including full path) of a text file (for example, /tmp/aliases) used by Authentication Agent Multiplexer to redirect the authentication requests of certain users to a different user in multiuser environments. For example, to redirect all authentication request of the root user to MainUser add the following line to the file: root: MainUser.

--log-spec; or -s

It sets verbosity mask on a per category basis. Each log message has an assigned multi-level category, where levels are separated by a dot. For example, HTTP requests are logged under http.request. The <spec> is a comma-separated list of log specifications. A single log specification consists of a wildcard matching log category, a colon, and a number specifying the verbosity level of that given category. The categories match from left to right, for example, --logspec 'http.*:5,core:3'. The last matching entry will be used as the verbosity of the given category. If no match is found the default verbosity specified with --verbose is used.

--no-require-tls; or -S

It turns off the TLS encryption of the communication between PNS and the Multiplexer.

--bind-address; or -b and, --bind-port; or -p

It is the IP address and the port, the Multiplexer is accepting connections on.

--crt-dir; or -t

It is the path of the directory containing the certificate of the CA that issued the certificate of the PNS firewall.

--crl-dir; or -r

It is the path of the directory containing the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) related to the above CA.
