Subject: [9fans] authdom
Date: Thu,  2 May 2002 09:18:03 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2894c3ed411e74069fb4326f421ea804@plan9.bell-labs.com> (raw)

There's a new ndb attribute, authdom.  With the new factotum we can
now authenticate in multiple domains.  To do this, we need to know
the auth server to use in that domain.  The authdom attribute can
be used to do that.  For example, I tack the following onto my
/net/ndb after boot:

authdom=cs.bell-labs.com
	auth=204.178.31.3
authdom=closedmind.org
	auth=10.0.0.2

That way I can contact the correct auth server for the labs and for
my private domain.  This probably won't matter to you right now but
we will soon have a file server on the outside that will reflect
our current source.  To connect to it you will have to authenticate
using an auth server we'll leave on the outside.  More on that when it
happens.
