Setting Passwords and Scratch Storage
You can create several different types of passwords for the Apple Qmaster distributed
processing system. All these passwords are optional; you can use the system without
creating them.
 Cluster administrator password: A password required for modifying a cluster in
Apple Qadministrator, and for modifying the status of the cluster’s batches in the
Batch Monitor. See “
Setting Cluster Administrator and User Passwords ,” next.
 Cluster user password: A password that client users will need in order to submit
batches to a cluster and to modify the status of those batches in the Batch Monitor.
See “
Setting Cluster Administrator and User Passwords ,” next.
 Service password: A password required for an administrator to add a specific service
node or cluster controller to a cluster. See “ Setting a Service Password for Including a
Computer in a Cluster ” on page 58.
You can also change the default scratch storage location for a cluster, or for each computer
in a cluster. See “
Cluster Storage: Setting a Scratch Storage Location ” on page 59.
Setting Cluster Administrator and User Passwords
You can create cluster passwords while creating a new cluster, as described in
“
Creating Clusters With Apple Qadministrator ” on page 48. However, once the cluster
is created, you can still add or change passwords, using the same settings in
Apple Qadministrator.
To create or change cluster passwords:
1 In Apple Qadministrator, select the cluster from the Cluster list.
2 Click Security.
3 Select and enter or change the passwords you want.
4 Click Apply Changes.
Note: Cluster administrator and cluster user passwords can be stored in a user’s keychain.
