+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+\&\fBkrb5\-sync\-backend\fR provides an interface to the queue of pending
+password and account status changes written by either this utility or by
+the synchronization plugin after failures. It can queue account enables,
+disables, or password changes for Active Directory, list the queued
+actions, or process the queued actions with \fBkrb5\-sync\fR (telling it to
+take its action from a file).
+.PP
+The queue directory will contain files with names in the format:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& <username>\-<domain>\-<action>\-<timestamp>\-<count>
+.Ve
+.PP
+where <username> is the name of the affected account (\f(CW\*(C`/\*(C'\fR will be
+replaced with \f(CW\*(C`.\*(C'\fR in the file name and the realm will be removed),
+<domain> is \f(CW\*(C`ad\*(C'\fR, <action> is either \f(CW\*(C`enable\*(C'\fR (used for both enabling
+and disabling accounts) or \f(CW\*(C`password\*(C'\fR, <timestamp> is a \s-1ISO 8601\s0
+timestamp in \s-1UTC,\s0 and <count> is a two-digit zero-padded number between 0
+and 99 (so that we can handle multiple changes that arrive in the same
+second). Each file contains a queued change in the format described in
+\&\fIkrb5\-sync\fR\|(8).
+.PP
+Supported arguments to \fBkrb5\-sync\-backend\fR are:
+.IP "disable \fIuser\fR" 4
+.IX Item "disable user"
+Queue a disable action (in Active Directory, as that's the only system
+currently supported for enable and disable) for \fIuser\fR.
+.IP "enable \fIuser\fR" 4
+.IX Item "enable user"
+Queue an enable action (in Active Directory, as that's the only system
+currently supported for enable and disable) for \fIuser\fR.
+.IP "help" 4
+.IX Item "help"
+List the supported commands.
+.IP "list" 4
+.IX Item "list"
+List the current contents of the queue.
+.IP "manual" 4
+.IX Item "manual"
+Display this documentation.
+.IP "process" 4
+.IX Item "process"
+Process the queue. All queued actions will be sorted alphanumerically
+(which due to the timestamp means that all changes for a particular user of
+a particular type will be done in the order queued). \fBkrb5\-sync\fR will be
+called for each queued action, as long as it continues to succeed. If it
+fails for a queued action, all other actions sharing the same username,
+domain, and action will be skipped and queue processing will continue with
+the next action that differs in one of those three parameters.
+.IP "password \fIuser\fR ad < \fIpassword\fR" 4
+.IX Item "password user ad < password"
+Queue a password change for \fIuser\fR in Active Directory, setting their
+password to \fIpassword\fR. By default, \fIpassword\fR is read from standard input.
+It can also be passed as a command-line argument, but this is less secure
+since the password is then readable by anyone on the system who can see the
+command-line arguments of processes.
+.Sp
+The entire standard input is taken as the password, including any trailing
+newlines, so be careful how the password is provided. If using something like
+\&\fBecho\fR, use \f(CW\*(C`echo \-n\*(C'\fR or the \f(CW\*(C`\ec\*(C'\fR flag, depending on your system.
+.IP "purge \fIdays\fR" 4
+.IX Item "purge days"
+Delete all queued actions last modified longer than \fIdays\fR days ago. This
+can be used to clean up old failed change propagations in situations where
+accounts may be created or have password changes queued that are later
+removed and never created in other environments.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.IX Header "OPTIONS"
+Options must be specified after the command.
+.IP "\fB\-d\fR \fIqueue\fR, \fB\-\-directory\fR=\fIqueue\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-d queue, --directory=queue"
+Use \fIqueue\fR as the queue directory instead of the default of
+\&\fI/var/spool/krb5\-sync\fR. This also changes the lock file accordingly. This
+option is supported for all commands except \f(CW\*(C`help\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`manual\*(C'\fR.
+.IP "\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-silent\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-s, --silent"
+This option is only allowed for the \f(CW\*(C`process\*(C'\fR command. Filter out the
+output of \fBkrb5\-sync\fR to ignore common errors and success messages and
+only show uncommon errors. This option will filter out all output when
+\&\fBkrb5\-sync\fR is successful and will filter out error messages that
+normally indicate the account is missing in Active Directory. The regexes
+can be modified at the start of this script.
+.SH "FILES"
+.IX Header "FILES"
+.IP "\fI/usr/sbin/krb5\-sync\fR" 4
+.IX Item "/usr/sbin/krb5-sync"
+The path to the \fBkrb5\-sync\fR utility. This may be changed at the top of
+this script.
+.IP "\fI/var/spool/krb5\-sync\fR" 4
+.IX Item "/var/spool/krb5-sync"
+The default path to the queue. This must match the queue_dir parameter in
+\&\fIkrb5.conf\fR used by the plugin. It can be changed at the top of this
+script.
+.IP "\fI/var/spool/krb5\-sync/.lock\fR" 4
+.IX Item "/var/spool/krb5-sync/.lock"
+An empty file used for locking the queue. When writing to or querying the
+queue, \fBkrb5\-sync\-backend\fR will open and lock this file with the Perl flock
+function, which normally calls \fIflock\fR\|(2). Any other queue writers need to
+use the same locking mechanism for safe operation.
