    摘要: One disclosed aspect of the present invention includes authentication and user account automation within a compute cluster for each cluster node that requires password or other credential administration. For example, a storage appliance computing system may rely on a plurality of subsystems (such as databases, storage management software, and application servers) that each have internal user accounts with associated passwords and credential keys that need to be changed at frequent intervals. Rather than requiring an administrator to manually manage all of these accounts, the presently described invention includes techniques and an authentication manager component to automatically manage, update, and refresh authentication information as required. Further, the authentication manager component may be used to perform and propagate automatic credential changes such as new sets of SSH keys or updated passwords as required within a computing system, and respond to new nodes or out-of-sync credentialing scenarios.

    摘要: An identity of a user performing an operation with respect to an application is propagated, from a point at which the user authenticates, to one or more other applications in a multi-product environment. The application may be a management console associated with an information cluster. In an embodiment, an administrator logs on to a management console (using an identity) and invokes a management operation. The management console then performs a programmatic remote access login (e.g., using SSH/RXA) to one or more nodes using a system account, invokes an application, and passes in the identity. As the application performs one or more management operations, audit events are logged, and these events each contain the identity that has been passed in by the management console during the SSH/RXA login. The technique thus provides a method for identity-based auditing in an environment having a plurality of applications, where each application typically has a respective authentication process or mechanism and distinct identity registries.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for analyzing a file system. A record module records file parameters comprising a file size, a file age, a time of last access, a file type, a recovery time objective, and an initial access time service level objective for each file in the file system. A file score module calculates a file score for each file using the file parameters. A system score module calculates the file system score as the sum of the normalized file scores. A process module processes the file system if the file system score exceeds a specified threshold.
