AUTHENTICATION-FREE CONFIGURATION FOR SERVICE CONTROLLERS

摘要

Embodiments generally relate to out-of-band management of a computing system. The present technology discloses enable a primary service controller to provide a centralized configuration of multiple secondary service controllers so that they can share a same configuration. It can utilize an authentication-free protocol to modify and manage credentials for a large number of service controllers.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
establishing, at a primary service controller, data transmission with a remote node management device using an authentication protocol, the primary service controller being associated with a plurality of secondary service controllers; receiving, using the authentication protocol, a new credential associated with each of the plurality of secondary service controllers, the plurality of secondary service controllers configured to manage node data of a plurality of nodes; and transmitting, using an authentication-free protocol, the new credential to the plurality of secondary service controllers, the plurality of secondary service controllers configured to substitute a respective credential using the new credential, wherein the node management device is configured to communicate with the plurality of secondary controllers using the new credential.
