Other Authentication Configurations
If you are using remote SoftBench processes between more than two
systems, you may want to set up a single authentication directory for a
group of systems. The advantage of this is
• it may be much simpler to create and export a single authentication
directory.
The disadvantage of this is
• having a single authentication directory for a large number of may
cause a bottleneck that delays remote processes.
• if the system where the directory is located is unavailable, remote
SoftBench processes could not be started.
For example, if your team has a single reliable hub system that already
provides remotely mountable disks, the shared temporary directory
could be placed on that system. Every system used by your team could
then share that one directory, minimizing the administration needed to
set up each new system.
