Starting the confetty client¶
As the root user, running /opt/confluent/bin/confetty
will open the confetty prompt
[root@c910f02c05p03 ~]# /opt/confluent/bin/confetty
/ ->
Creating a non root user¶
It’s recommenteed to create a non root user to use to connect to confetty
Create a non-root user on the management node:
useradd -m vhu
As root, create a non-root user in confetty:
/opt/confluent/bin/confetty create users/vhu
Set the password for the non-root user:
/opt/confluent/bin/confetty set users/vhu password="mynewpassword" password="********"
Connecting to a remote server¶
In order to do remote sessions, keys must first be added to /etc/confluent
- /etc/confluent/privkey.pem - private key
- /etc/confluent/srvcert.pem - server cert
If you want to use the xCAT Keys, you can simple copy them into /etc/confluent
cp /etc/xcat/cert/server-key.pem /etc/confluent/privkey.pem
cp /etc/xcat/cert/server-cert.pem /etc/confluent/srvcert.pem
Start confetty, specify the server IP address:
confetty -s 127.0.0.1
