Starting the confetty client

As the root user, running /opt/confluent/bin/confetty will open the confetty prompt :

[root@c910f02c05p03 ~]# /opt/confluent/bin/confetty
/ -> 

Creating a non root user

It's recommenteed to create a non root user to use to connect to confetty

  1. Create a non-root user on the management node: :

    useradd -m vhu
  2. As root, create a non-root user in confetty: :

    /opt/confluent/bin/confetty create users/vhu
  3. Set the password for the non-root user: :

    /opt/confluent/bin/confetty set users/vhu password="mynewpassword"
    password="********"

Connecting to a remote server

In order to do remote sessions, keys must first be added to /etc/confluent

  • /etc/confluent/privkey.pem - private key
  • /etc/confluent/srvcert.pem - server cert

If you want to use the xCAT Keys, you can simple copy them into /etc/confluent :

cp /etc/xcat/cert/server-key.pem /etc/confluent/privkey.pem
cp /etc/xcat/cert/server-cert.pem /etc/confluent/srvcert.pem 

Start confetty, specify the server IP address: :

confetty -s 127.0.0.1
