.TH LOGIND 8 .SH NAME logind \- login daemon .SH SYNOPSIS .B auth/logind .SH DESCRIPTION .I Logind is normally started by .IR svc (8) to service requests on the .B inflogin TCP/IP port, to provide a `signing' service (identity authentication) for a network. Ultimately, the client receives a certificate that can be used to establish its identity with any host that is willing to honour certificates from the certificate's signer. .PP The signer constructs the certificate from the contents of the signer's key file .BR /keydb/signerkey , typically created by .IR createsignerkey (8), and the ID string and password supplied by the client (which are used to access .IR keyfs (4) to check identity). .PP The protocol involves an exchange of information between the client and server, as summarised in .IR login (6). The client side of this exchange can be managed by the .B Login module; see .IR security-login (2). .PP Client and server communicate over the Secure Socket Layer device .IR ssl (3). .SH FILES .TF /keydb/signerkey .TP .B /keydb/keys .TP .B /keydb/signerkey .SH SOURCE .B /appl/cmd/auth/logind.b .SH "SEE ALSO" .IR security-login (2), .IR ssl (3), .IR keyfs (4), .IR keys (6), .IR changelogin (8), .IR createsignerkey (8), .IR svc (8)
