Notes
-----

When security is enabled, NLSR will not be allowed to successfully
advertise/withdraw names without first setting a default identity of operator.
If default identity is not set as operator, the user will be presented with the
error message: “Name prefix update error (code: 403)”. To remedy this
issue, use command 'ndn-sec-default'.

Example:

  ndnsec-set-default /ndn/a-site/%C1.Operator/op
