FG PasswdStack QuickStart

At this moment, our software only provides a command line interface. Thus, users need access to the machine where the FG PasswdClient client is installed. Currently, this is installed and configured in the FutureGrid India cluster (india.futuregrid.org).

Login on India and use the module functionality to load the environment variables:

$ ssh <username>@india.futuregrid.org
$ module load futuregrid

The authentication is done via FutureGrid Ldap server. Thus, in each command we need to specify our FutureGrid username and we will be asked for our portal password.

Using FG PasswdStack

$ fg-passwdstack -u <username>

Note

Users need to use their FutureGrid username and portal password.

After typing the command, you will be asked for your portal password. Then, you will be asked for the password that you want to have in the OpenStack Dashboard. This password is asked two times to make sure you do not misspell the new password.

Output:

    Passwd Stack client...
