The import Module

Import PLC records into the Geni database. It is indended that this tool be run once to create Geni records that reflect the current state of the planetlab database. The import tool assumes that the existing PLC hierarchy should all be part of "planetlab.us" (see the root_auth and level1_auth variables below). Public keys are extracted from the users' SSH keys automatically and used to create GIDs. This is relatively experimental as a custom tool had to be written to perform conversion from SSH to OpenSSL format. It only supports RSA keys at this time, not DSA keys.

root_auth (variable) [#]

Two authorities are specified: the root authority and the level1 authority.
