A multi-node cluster is configured for credential management. A method commences by retrieving a super-user credential from a credential record stored in a location accessible to the cluster, then propagating the super-user credential to a set of nodes in the multi-node cluster. A credential creating processes is invoked on at least some of the set of nodes. Application-level credential access can be implemented in a multi-cluster environment by carrying-out an exchange that passes credentials between a first cluster and a second cluster over a secure channel. A protocol is observed whereby one or more applications running on the first cluster receive new credentials for accessing the second cluster from the credential serving process after the credential creating process creates the new credential.
A computer implemented method for credential management in a multi-node cluster, the method comprising:
A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer readable medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions which, when executed by a processor causes the processor to execute a process for credential management in a multi-node cluster, the process comprising:
A system for credential management in a multi-node cluster, the system comprising:
