Listing Extended Attributes
You can list extended attributes of files by using native operating system commands, or system calls. As part of GuardPoint administration, CTE can modify or delete extended attributes.
Note
This functionality is only available for local file systems. It is not supported for files in NFS Share GuardPoints.
In Linux, CTE-LDT attributes are set on GuardPoint directories and regular files in GuardPoint directories protected with CTE-LDT policies. The CTE extended attribute name is ::secfs:xattr:.
The following examples use the native Linux operating system command attr to display the CTE-LDT attribute for the GuardPoint /oxf-fs1/gp1 and the file /oxf-fs1/gp1/File_1.txt.
Example Getting File Attributes
attr -l /oxf-fs1/gp1/File_1.txt
Attribute "::secfs:xattr:" has a 1044 byte value for /oxf-fs1/gp1/File_1.txt
Attribute "selinux" has a 37 byte value for /oxf-fs1/gp1/File_1.txt
Example Getting GuardPoint Attributes
attr -l /oxf-fs1/gp1
Attribute "::secfs:xattr:" has a 1044 byte value for /oxf-fs1/gp1
Attribute "selinux" has a 37 byte value for /oxf-fs1/gp1
Example of voradmin ldt attr get for Linux File Attributes
In the following example, the file /oxf-fs1/gp1/File_1.txt has the same name for current and new keys at the same key version. In the following example, if the versioned key LDT_KEY is at version 755, the file is rekeyed to the latest key version under the CTE-LDT policy.
voradmin ldt attr get /oxf-fs1/gp1/File_1.txt
CTE-LDT attributes: rekeyed_size=4096, rekey_status=none
Key: name=LDT_KEY, version=755

Example of voradmin ldt attr get for Linux NFS Share GuardPoint Attributes
The following example shows how to use the voradmin ldt attr get command to view the LDT attribute on GuardPoint directories over NFS shares:
secfsd -unguard /nfs-oxf-fs1/gp2
secfsd: Path is not guarded
voradmin ldt attr get /nfs-oxf-fs1/gp2
LDT stats: version=3, rekey_status=rekeyed

Example of voradmin ldt attr get for Windows GuardPoint Attributes
The attribute for the GuardPoint c:\GP 1 contains the status (rekeyed) and statistics specific to the GuardPoint and CTE-LDT. Following is sample output of voradmin command on Windows for statistics on a file:
C:\> voradmin ldt attr get c:\GP\Test.txt
LDT attributes:
Rekey Status Rekeyed
Initial Rekeyed Size 10 Bytes
Key:
Key Name/Version (LDT_KEY, 28)
The attribute for GuardPoint C:\GP contains the status (rekeyed) and statistics specific to the GuardPoint and CTE-LDT:
C:\> voradmin ldt attr get c:\gp\
