Node:Mingle single sign-on, Next:Mingle init, Previous:User mode set up, Up:Beginning to use Mingle
In a Mingle cluster, each user is identified by a global, unique Mingle
ID. The Mingle ID has to be signed on explicitly once before using
Mingle. To do this, you will have to log in to one of the Mingle host,
and submit a sign-on request:
mingle signon mingle-id
In the above command, mingle-id is a text string that you
select. You will then be prompted to input a Mingle password to the
client program, which conveys both the Mingle ID and the password to the
local Mingle server. The local Mingle server sends this pair to the
master server for this Mingle cluster. If the Mingle ID has not
previously been registered, the master server generates an RSA key pair
for you, which will later be retrieved by the mingle servers in the same
cluster to authenticate your requests whenever necessary (see RSA key distribution).
After signing on, you have established your identity represented as your
Mingle ID in the cluster. Use the command mingle passwd if you
wish to change your Mingle password:
mingle passwd mingle-id
