Lists the authentication methods supported by the Control System and the
apiserver.
Both the Control System and apiserver (that processes REST API calls) require one of the
following method of authentication:
- Basic authentication (with a username and password) on secure and non-secure clusters.
Refer to documentation for information on setting up username, password, and permissions
for accessing the Control System and REST API calls.
- Simple and Protected GSSAPI Negotiation Mechanism (SPNEGO) on secure clusters to
authenticate REST calls to the Control System and access the resources directly. Refer to
documentation for
information on configuring SPNEGO for the Control System and REST API calls.
- Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) for password verification. Refer to documentation for
information on configuring PAM for the Control System and REST API calls.
For information on using the Control System, maprcli commands, and the REST
APIs, refer to topics under 6.2 Administration.
