This argument causes the kas command interpreter to establish a connection with the Authentication Server running on each specified database server machine. It then chooses one of these at random to execute each subsequent command. The issuer may abbreviate the machine name to the extent the cell's name server will accept. No other arguments or flags should be provided at the same time. Even if they are, this flag overrides them, and the only effect of issuing the command is that the help message appears.
Most kas commands require that the issuer be privileged.
All commands will prompt for a password, unless the issuer has entered interactive mode.
