# Creating a configuration file with login information

Contents

Although a superuser can enter a login name and password on the command line each time the Intel® Manager for Lustre* CLI is used, accessing login information in a configuration file is more convenient and more secure.

To set up an optional configuration file, complete these steps:

1. | Create a configuration file $HOME/.chroma on the server hosting Intel® Manager for Lustre* software.

2. | Edit the file to include content as shown below:

[chroma]

username = <user name of file system administrator>

password = <password>

Note: To minimize security risks, modify the permissions of the .chroma file to allow only the file owner to read from and write to it, using:

$ chmod 0600 ~/.chroma
