From ec0994e48ea2aebf62ff08376227f3a9ccf46262 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sage Weil Date: Tue, 2 Feb 2010 16:25:35 -0800 Subject: ceph: add support for auth_x authentication protocol The auth_x protocol implements support for a kerberos-like mutual authentication infrastructure used by Ceph. We do not simply use vanilla kerberos because of scalability and performance issues when dealing with a large cluster of nodes providing a single logical service. Auth_x provides mutual authentication of client and server and protects against replay and man in the middle attacks. It does not encrypt the full session over the wire, however, so data payload may still be snooped.
