Hello all,<br><br>During today's conference call we were discussing auth.defaults in relation to swiftconfig, but it expanded into a more general discussion about how swift uses auth.defaults. I was asked to send an email to the list to discuss it further.<br>
<br>One of the concerns mentioned was security. Is there a way to transition from having passwords stored in plaintext to another method, perhaps an agent-based authentication?<br><br>Another thing that would be nice, for swiftconfig/swiftrun, would be to have a per-host auth.defaults outside of .ssh. Then you could specify the auth.defaults file to use, as you currently can with sites and tc. Currently this might not be a good idea due to security concerns, but if we could eliminate the passwords this might be possible?<br>
