Name
globus-reload-container — Reinitializes standalone container
Synopsis
globus-reload-container
Tool description
The globus-reload-container command invokes the reload() operation on the DeployService running in the remote container. It tells the container to reinitialize all of its services, re-read its and service configuration files, etc. For example, the administrator can change the security descriptor of a service and then use the globus-reload-container command to force the container to load the updated configuration without restarting the container.
By default the DeployService is configured to perform self authorization and therefore the globus-reload-container must be executed with the same credentials as the container it is running with. Alternatively, the service can be configured with a gridmap file to allow a subset of users (with their own credentials) to invoke the service (please see the service security deployment descriptor for details).

This command only works with the standalone container. Please see the Java WS Core Dynamic Deploy Design Document for more information. |

Table 55. Common options
| -h, --help | Displays help information about the command. |
| -d, --debug | Enables debug mode. For example, full stack traces of errors will be displayed. |
| -e, --eprFile <file> | Specifies an XML file that contains the WS-Addressing endpoint reference. |
| -s, --service <url> | Specifies the service URL. |
| -k, --key <name value> | Specifies the resource key. The name is the QName of the resource key in the string form: {namespaceURI}localPart, while the value is the simple value of the key. For complex keys, use the --eprFile option. Example: -k "{http://www.globus.org}MyKey" 123 |
| -f, --descriptor <file> | Specifies a client security descriptor. Overrides all other security settings. |
| -a, --anonymous | Enables anonymous authentication. Only supported with transport security or the GSI Secure Conversation authentication mechanism. |
| -g, --delegation <mode> | Enables delegation. mode can be either 'limited' or 'full'. Only supported with the GSI Secure Conversation authentication mechanism. |
| -l, --contextLifetime <value> | Sets the lifetime of the client security context. value is in milliseconds. Only supported with the GSI Secure Conversation authentication mechanism. |
| -m, --securityMech <type> | Specifies the authentication mechanism. type can be 'msg' for GSI Secure Message, or 'conv' for GSI Secure Conversation. |
| -c, --serverCertificate <file> | Specifies the server's certificate file used for encryption. Only needed for the GSI Secure Message authentication mechanism. |
| -p, --protection <type> | Specifies the protection level. type can be 'sig' for signature or 'enc' for encryption. |
| -x, --proxyFilename <value> | Sets the proxy file to use as client credential. |
| -z, --authorization <type> | Specifies authorization type. type can be 'self', 'host', 'none', or a string specifying the expected identity of the remote party. |
| -t, --timeout <timeout> | Specifies client timeout (in seconds). The client will wait maximum of the timeout value for a response from the server before returning an error. By default the timeout value is 10 minutes. |
