The Toolserver uses various forms of user authentication. This page attempts to document them.

Toolserver developers[edit]

Anyone with a Toolserver account can authenticate with the following protocols.

LDAP[edit]

More information: Toolserver:LDAP

Your LDAP password is used as your Unix password. It authenticates you to command-line utilities (e.g. setmail and acctrenew), as well as for Subversion and the phpMyAdmin website. However, it cannot be used to log in to the Toolserver itself.

SSH[edit]

More information: Toolserver:Logging in

SSH keys are used for SSH login authentication.

MySQL[edit]

Your MySQL user credentials are stored in ~/.my.cnf.

SSO[edit]

The Toolserver web sites (JIRA, MediaWiki and FishEye) use the Single Sign-On system, so your username and password are shared between these sites. These are not connected to the main Toolserver accounts and can be freely created by anyone.

Individual tools[edit]

Individual tools use various different forms of user authentication. There is no central system currently. Some tools choose to integrate tools:~magnus/tusc.php.
