NAME

       ikisite-wrapper - suid wrapper for ikisite

SYNOPSIS

       ikisite-wrapper subcommand options

DESCRIPTION

       ikisite-wrapper is a wrapper around ikisite. It is designed to be safely made suid root, though it is not
       currently suid by default.

       A  few  ikisite subcommands can be run using the wrapper without any authorisation at all. These include:
       create, branch, list, sitelookup, checklock, updatecustomersite, enabledns, and  enable.  So  making  the
       wrapper suid allows any user to create a site.

       Other  ikisite  subcommands  can  only  be  run  using  the  wrapper  by users who specify a nonce in the
       IKISITE_NONCE environment variable. These include: delete, changesetup, domains, and deletenonce.

       A site's current nonces are stored in its .ikisite-nonce file. A nonce can be generated by  root  or  the
       site's  user via using the createnonce subcommand, but it's usually generated by passing --createnonce to
       the create or branch subcommands. This allows anyone to create or branch a site and then use the nonce to
       allow further configuration of it (and delete it if something goes wrong).

       Subcommands that can be called by the wrapper either without or with a nonce  should  be  sure  to  fully
       validate their inputs.
