Erlang Network Authentication Server
This module is deprecated. For a description of the Magic Cookie system, refer to Distributed Erlang in the Erlang Reference Manual.
Functions
is_auth(Node) -> yes | no
Node = node()
Returns yes
if communication with Node
is
authorized. Note that a connection to Node
will
be established in this case. Returns no
if Node
does not exist or communication is not authorized (it has
another cookie than auth
thinks it has).
Use net_adm:ping(Node) instead.
cookie(TheCookie) -> true
TheCookie = Cookie | [Cookie]
Cookie = atom()
Use erlang:set_cookie(node(), Cookie) instead.
node_cookie([Node, Cookie]) -> yes | no
Node = node()
Cookie = atom()
Equivalent to node_cookie(Node, Cookie).
node_cookie(Node, Cookie) -> yes | no
Node = node()
Cookie = atom()
Sets the magic cookie of Node
to Cookie
, and
verifies the status of the authorization.
Equivalent to calling
erlang:set_cookie(Node, Cookie), followed by
auth:is_auth(Node).
