5.3. Password-based Authentication
command to authenticate them. During authentication, you use the password you set when creating
the first MDS server.
3. Acronis Storage compares the provided password with the one stored on the first MDS server, and if
the passwords match, successfully authenticates the server.
For each physical server, authentication is a one-time process. Once a server is authenticated in the cluster
(for example, when you configure it as an MDS server), the /etc/vstorage/clusters/stor1/auth_digest.key
file is created on the authenticated server. When you set up this server as another cluster component (e.g.,
as a chunk server), the cluster checks that the auth_digest.key file is present and does not require you to
authenticate the server again.
