Fog Password Scheme

[giammy]

Dear all,

I’m trying to understand the password scheme of FOG:
I have a (more or less) working configuration, but
I’d like to make things more clear!

I summarize what I have uderstand up to now …
if someone wants to integrate, perhaps it will be usefull
for everyone.

The reference Fog Installation installation is a
Linux box (Debian) with both storage node and Web UI
(DNS and DHCP are on different machines), and 1 user
configured with

• user: fog
• pass: mypass
  On the Linux box I can access via ssh with user fog,
  ftp, with user fog, and tftp

FOG PASSWORD CONFIGURATION

In the FOG configuration file commons/config.php

define( “MYSQL_DATABASE”, “fog” );
define( “MYSQL_USERNAME”, “root” );
define( “MYSQL_PASSWORD”, “mypass” );
This password is used by the Web UI to access the database.
If wrong - the Web UI says: “Unable to connect to database.”

define( “TFTP_FTP_USERNAME”, “fog” );
define( “TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD”, “mypass” );
This password is used for the FTP access?
(tftp do not need password)

define( “STORAGE_FTP_USERNAME”, “fog” );
define( “STORAGE_FTP_PASSWORD”, “mypass” );
And this password? For FTP? And the previous one?
Which is the difference between the 2?

On the Fog Web UI I have:

Other Information -> Fog Settings

FOG Storage Nodes

FOG_STORAGENODE_MYSQLUSER fogstorage
FOG_STORAGENODE_MYSQLPASS anotherpass
(in my configuration here I have a password in the form fsnnnn …
created at installation time: where is it used?)

FOG_TFTP_FTP_USERNAME fog
FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD mypass
(same as TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD I imagine)

Storage Management -> Edit Storage Node Definition
Management Username: fog
Management Password: mypass
(this must match the FTP password of the PC?)

thanks
bye
