Bash application to copy CMA policy with the MDS command line

[tomshw]

Hello all,

With the power of AI I have created a piece of software to copy the policy package from one CMA to another in the same MDS , I know there are a number of tools for that but I could not find one that had it all.

Required Options:

    -s, --source-domain SOURCE     Source CMA domain name (required)

    -d, --dest-domain DEST         Destination CMA domain name (required)

    -p, --package PACKAGE          Policy package name to copy (required)

Optional Options:

    -n, --new-name NAME            New package name in destination

Remote Access Options:

    -m, --mds-server SERVER        MDS server IP/hostname (default: 127.0.0.1)

    -P, --port PORT                MDS API port (default: 443)

    -u, --username USER            Username for API authentication

    -w, --password PASS            Password for API authentication

Local Access Options:

    -l, --local                    Use local authentication (login as root on MDS)

Other Options:

    -h, --help                     Show this help message

Authentication Modes:

    1. Remote Access (default if -u/-w specified):

       Connects to MDS remotely using username/password

    2. Local Access (-l flag):

       Must be run ON the MDS server

       Uses 'login as root' (no credentials needed)

Examples:

    # Remote access with credentials

    ./copyCMA_full.sh -m "10.1.1.1" -u "admin" -w "password" \

       -s "CMA1" -d "CMA2" -p "Standard-Policy"

    # Remote access, different package name

    ./copyCMA_full.sh -m "mds.company.com" -u "admin" -w "password" \

       -s "CMA1" -d "CMA2" -p "Policy" -n "Policy-Backup"

    # Local access (on MDS server)

    ./copyCMA_full.sh -l -s "CMA1" -d "CMA2" -p "Standard-Policy"

Notes:

    - Remote access requires network connectivity to MDS API port

    - User must have permissions to manage both source and dest domains

    - For security, consider using environment variables for credentials:

      export CP_USER="admin"

      export CP_PASS="password"
