The f5mku utility: Reference
The
f5mku
utility is a cryptographic tool for managing
passwords and passphrases. The available command options that display when
you type f5mku -h
at a system prompt are listed below.F5 recommends not using the f5mku
utility on a BIG-IQ system.
F5 strongly recommends that you avoid
using the
-r
option to reset a master key. Using -r
without first
decrypting the passwords or passphrases on configuration objects will cause
any subsequent configuration load operation to fail. Use the TMOS Shell
(tmsh
)
command modify /sys master-key
prompt-for-password
instead.[a2w@COSFL02:/S1-green-P:Active:Disconnected] ~ # f5mku -h Usage: f5mku [d:?fhHi:r:t:uUvYZq:] Required parameters: (one of these must be specified) -d bits generate a base64 encoded RSA key and output to stdout -f fetch unit key -Z dump debug information -i file import key saved via --- -r key rekey with the specifed master key (b64 encoded). Use with caution. Optional parameters: -? -h this help -q Query if given string matches current master key -t # Timeout value in seconds (1-500) -u Unit test posture (no HAL) -U Test unit key functionality -H Force I/O to HAL storage -K Displays the master key -v set verbose mode -Y Answer Yes to any queries
