EventStore Administration

This page describes procedures used in administering an EventStore installation.

Configuration

Each admin user should have configuration file in $HOME/.esdb.conf, which contains user:password entries and several other setting as illustrated below:

# sample .esdb.conf file
gluex:masterpassword
sdobbs:thisisnotapassword
ESMASTER=EventStore@hallddb:3306:/var/log/mysql

The users and passwords are used to control access to the master MySQL databases - management of SQLite databases is not access controlled. Note that the authentication is performed by the EventStore scripts themselves.

NOTE: authentication will change in upcoming versions
