Viewing Registry Information
34.4 Displaying xattrschema Information
Use the dcecp xattrschema catalog and xattrschema show commands to display
information about the extended attribute types. Note that, to see instances of an extended
attribute attached to a principal, use the -xattr option with the principal, group,or
organization show commands.
The xattrschema catalog command displays the names of the extended attribute
instances defined in a named schema. When you use this command, you must specify
the name of the schema for which to display extended attributes. For the registry
database, this name is /.:/sec/xattrschema. Your site must supply you with the name of
the schema.
The xattrschema show command displays the attributes of named schemas in either the
registry schema or a schema in use at your site. When you use this command , you must
specify the name of the extended attribute type for which to display information. You can
supply multiple names by enclosing them in braces and separating them with spaces.
To display the names of all attribute types in the registry database in alphabetic order
with names prefixed by the cell name, enter
xattrschema catalog /.:/sec/xattrschema
To display all attribute types in the registry database in alphabetic order not prefixed by
the cell name, enter
xattrschema catalog /.:/sec/xattrschema
To display attributes in a schema other than the registry, replace /.:/sec/xattrschema with
the fully specified name of the other schema.
To display the attributes of a named extended attribute type, enter
xattrschema show attr_name
The following example, lists the names of all extended attributes in the registry prefixed
by the cell name:
dcecp> xattrschema catalog /.:/sec/xattrschema
/.../dresden/sec/xattrschema/pre_auth_req
/.../dresden/sec/xattrschema/pwd_val_type
/.../dresden/sec/xattrschema/pwd_mgmt_binding
/.../dresden/sec/xattrschema/X500_DN
/.../dresden/sec/xattrschema/X500_DSA_Admin
/.../dresden/sec/xattrschema/disable_time_interval
/.../dresden/sec/xattrschema/max_invalid_attempts
/.../dresden/sec/xattrschema/passwd_override
/.../dresden/sec/xattrschema/test_integer
The following example, list the attributes of the extended registry attribute named
test_integer:
